All that "hardcast" means is that pure lead was alloyed with another metal to increase the hardness of the finished product. There is no other actual definition. The add-on metals are most commonly...

"Hard Cast" is simply an alloy that contains a metal besides lead with the intent of making the bullet harder. How much harder? It doesn't matter, just harder than pure lead.

How was that, Bret?

358429 isn't too long for many guns, but it is too long for short cylindered guns like S&W 27s & J frames, some Colts, especially Pythons. and some of the imported er, stuff. Ironically, it fits fine...

In what caliber, please? Most loaders seem to use std 358429 data. Lyman and Ideal both listed 358439 & 358429HP at 160 grains back in the 1950s manuals.

In the 8 to 12 minutes at 400 degrees Hi-Tek recommends for baking?

7. Once the bullets are fully dried and the oven is set, put them in for 8-12 minutes to cure the coating.

As mentioned earlier, many 9mm bores run .357-.358. Out of the four or five I have around here, only one is .356. These are all modern guns from large, reputable U.S. manufacturers with U.S....

It's a Modern Bond mold on a set of poorly fitting handles, possibly Lachmiller. It's a pity, the original Modern Bond handles are some of the finest ever produced and with them missing, the molds...

The core temp of the bullet is irrelevant to the finish being baked onto its surface.

Honest.

I'm happy for Australia, there are a lot of cast bullet shooters down there. The reality of this situation is that this does us no good and we're on our own at this point. How many here are willing...

Thanks for such a smooth and hassle-free transaction. Enjoy your new mold!

Sorry I'm a bit late to the feedback

Modern JHP designs are generally made with 1:30 foundry alloy with a jacket that is skived to facilitate and regulate the hollow point expansion. The lead cores do have their hollow points formed so...

I just read Carl Hudsons article last night. He was quite proud of his design even though I don't see what it brought to the table that different designs couldn't provide. The Hi-Velo-Pen name was...

It appears to have been first catalogued in 1962 in .358. It's a recycled cherry number, the original was a 403 093 that originated in the earliest days of Ideal. I can't even find a pic of the...

A local commercial loader uses 46-350S for his SOCOM loads. I know this for certain because I go to his shop and cast up a batch whenever he needs them. We decided on this arrangement because I can't...

What was old is new again.

I'd also like to know more about the lube you're using, and if it requires heat. Dustys observation about your depth setting is completely correct too. Lube can aerate if you don't have your lube...

I also think it's the sprue plate as well. Sprue plates need to be preheated, the same as the rest of the mold.

Since the manufacturer doesn't recommend a steady diet of +P, and intentionally didn't mark the gun "+P", I'd stay out of it myself. I'd suggest std pressure wadcutters for the snubby. Please notice...

Truth! All I had was a flashlight!!!

And honestly, if that fills your needs to your satisfaction, then by all means buy the three dollar flashlight.

The resulting flashlight is far superior to most of the sub-$200.00 flashlights on the market. I have three 3 cell Maglights to upgrade as funds permit.

Damn. This is a big loss.

I too am uncertain what you are asking for, but if you're looking for high quality upgrades you should check out Malkoff at https://malkoffdevices.com/collections/maglite-drop-ins-and-accessories...

A friend of mine checked it out and told me it also appears to him that they were hacked.
