i have the tumble lube 230 mold as well but I didn't think I could size the tumble lube bullet design

my mistake,

this is the round nose 228 grain normal bullet not tumble lube type

what do you guys load them too?

Hello all,

I have a question about a 45 acp lee boolit


On my 452-230-r I find that in order to allow reliable chambering I have to seat this bullet deep so that it is not touching the...

who knows maybe I did't resize properly

the hard boolit chambering worries me as I am unable to extract a round properly


if its safe to shoot then I dont really care but I thought the boolit was not supposed to be touching the rifling

Hello all,

I tried casting boolits for my mossberg 464

I used 309 170F lee mold

I ran through a 311 sizer

when chambering I had to give it lots and lots of push to get the bolt to close...

i ordered a whole wack of new stuff

358 sizer
two new primer troughs with update for the load master
2 big *** round ball moulds

Hey guys,

just ordered a bunch of reloading equipment for 357 mag but fogot to order shell plate for lee progressive.

I have about 8 other shell plates in different calibers

has anyone found...

dont size your boolits load them at cast diameter and goodbye keyholing

Hi guys,

I have been casting for a good year now and Ive noticed every once in a while I will have an extreme oversized bullet or undersized bullet that ruins my day

Ive thought about using...

thats a difficult question, I find the 45 acp really likes no heavier than 230 grain
but the 230 grain doesn't have a crimp grove for revolverss

Ill bet your putting the sprues back in the pot immediately cooling it down

HOwmuch petrol did you burn through to melt that down

I didn't know black and decker made pistols

guess you learn something new every day

Ive run into this a bit before too with that same pistol

I find I have to use COAL of 1.065. Mine 6 cav mold drops them at .358 and I load them unsized.

I'm thinking maybe you didnt flare the...

After years of shooting Ive come to the conclusion that revolvers are just more accurate.

Truthfully I cant say why but I can shoot all day with 9mm 40 sw and 45 acp lead or jacketed and be lucky...

ive tried all those things, the load data im using is for the exact rifle, bullet, weight, and powder.

It goes from I think 15 grains of red dot to 22

I can only pull two inch groups at 13...

Hi guys, Ive casted lots of pistol boolits with no issues but I seem to have trouble casting rifle bullets.

I tried the lee 309-170-flat and the lee 311-160-rn both with gas checks attached and I...

Hi guys,
after dealing with an in accurate caliper I finally bought a micrometer and I see my lee molds drop large bullets that I was not sizing because I thought they were at bore diameter, I have...

HI guys,
today at the range I fired my cast 9mm 40sw and 45 acp

I put a few factory copper rounds through them first and found they were patterning all over the place at 15 yards

I switched to...

Ok

Also once I had an accident pre heating the mold and it took a full minute to liquefy on the first pour

Hopefully nothing warped

Hi guys

my lee 6 cav 429 was starting to throw boolit bases that had large peices attached to them. I figured the sprue wasn't closing low enough so I removed it and polished both the bottom of...

jeese arent you reaching pressure maximum with that much powder?

Hi guys, went to the range today firing the lee 355-125-1r rn. loaded to 1.060 with 3.3 grains of bullseye.

Everything functioned fine after firing 250 rounds with no lead in the barrel.
...

ok so I had some lead balls from track of the wolf and I ran them through my tester

the hole it made was larger than my measurer, so I'd imagine the hole size is around 1.2, does this sound correct
