The Harbor Freight system works great and very inexpensive . I use a plastic tote box for a "paint " booth and works great ,. Just lay it on its side and spray into it. Also makes cleanup and...

Been awhile since I have been on here but I have many PBGC dies that I bought from Pat Marlin and they have worked flawlessly . Nobody has mentioned him that I saw on this thread . Is he still around...

I use a PID controller so the temp is very consistant. I do not understand all of a sudden either but maybe the mold cooled down while i was doing something and i did not realize it....who knows

After trying again today and rechecking all the components, sprue plate , bolt on sprue plate , set screw and other items it did go away after using it for a bit. Appears it may have been mold temp...

another twist to the story is I am using a 50/50 alloy , 50% pure lead , 50% WW so the lead is not that hard to cause these issues.

Neither have I , That is why I need to find out what is going on . When I use the same pot, same aloy on even a 6 cavity mold it cuts fine. Must me something with the mold , i have to assume.

I tried loosening the pivot bolt on the sprue plate to no avail. It would actually rotate by itself when mold was empty and still would not cut. Fill the 2 cavities with lead and I would have to...

Forgot to mention this is RCBS 2 cavity mold for 10mm 170 gr

Casting some boolits today and all of a sudden I could not get the sprue plate to cut the sprues. Poured over 300 boolits and all was great . From one pour to the next I had to hammer like hell to...

Thank you all for the quick response. It has been many years since I dealt with nickel cases, my old and feeble mind forgot. I was going to lube them just to be the safe side but i thought i...

Using a carbide die for resizing nickle cases , necessary to lube cases or not ? Working on some 38 Special loads for self defense with the Lyman Devastator and have decided to go with nickle cases...

Just to add to possible scenarios with hand priming tools i can tell another story that i was extremely lucky on . I was using a progressive press and using the priming tool that was on it. I ran...

Update to my PC issue. I added another moisture filter at the gun end and problem went away. want to thank you all for the answers to my problem. All is good again. Now if I could just get this 44...

Yes I did. Thanks also Smoke. I now have several things to look at a little closer. Moisture in the line and ground not being good enough seems to be the most logical answers. I will try them both...

All great suggestions but unfortunately I did also rinse them off in acetone prior to "trying " to PC. Maybe I did not clean them as good as I should have so I will have to try again as soon as it...

Getting plenty of powder to the boolits just won't adhere to them . I sprayed enough powder that covered the foil and top of boolits but it never stuck to the sides and lube groove area. Still...

I will have to look at the ground wire. As far as the powder not being sealed I used a previously opened jar with screw lid then tried a new unopened jar from Eastwood and had the same issues with...

I am getting a spark when I get too close to the foil or boolits so I have to assume that is not the problem either. It was strange though, although probably not related, when I got a spark on the...

Yes I did Banger. this really had me disappointed today as I had over 500 boolits to do but stopped after two batches failed to adhere. I even did them a second time and still did not cover...

I have been Pc'ing for several years now using the ESPC sytem and also had great results. For some reason today the powder would not adhere to the boolits. tried a new bottle of powder and it stiil...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys ,I really appreciate it. I finally decided to go with a plastic 5 gallon gas can. It had nice rubber o-ring on the spout to seal out any moisture and had the #2...

All great suggestions. I am gathering from the responses that you definitely need a container(s) that will not leave light in ? I have to admit I do not have enough empties at this point to store...

I just received a 12 lb and 3 lb metal drum of Red Dot powder for free . The previous owner wanted the 12 lb can back and I would like to know what I can safely store the powder in. I am concerned...

Just bought out a friends reloading gear and he had this CH111 press and what looks like brand new Lyman M5 scale. just curious as I have no use for either but wondering what sort of price they would...

I will have to try that. For some reason I found that if I rotated the primer tube and got it to a specific location it would stop upsetting the primers also. I did prime about 800 shells last night...
