I had a 100 of those, think I got them from Midway. I cleaned the lube from them & powdercoated & gas checked them. They shot great out of my 35 Whelen. I would like to get more of them unlubed

Every one of these ideas is good. My recommendation is to try a lot of them to determine what you & family like best. As this is your first time you are goi g to have more scraps so you will probably...
Forum: Cast Boolits
on these plugs , go with the larger # on the plug & get the one that is .001 to .002 larger than your sized boolit. Hey will start straighter & neck tension will be good.

Not sure what this picture is telling me, it appears that the primer has a pin indent on it?
Forum: Cast Boolits
First of all, I am no expert. So many things enter into boolit hardness so it is hard to give one answer. What do you want to do with the boolit? How fast do you want to push it? What type of lube...

I was reading where someone said to only use flat nose boolits in tube mags. I have just purchased a 44 mag. Lever gun.they specifically said not to use round nose. I was looking at my 240 gr. round...

I can’t believe that, we don’t make much of anything here. Certainly not enough of anything to export.

I have several neck expander inserts that I purchased from Track of the wolf. They work good also.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I have both & use both. For the small cost I would not be without the Lee case mouthexpander.
Many times I have thought cases were fully prepared & a d filled with powder only to find I was shaving...
I think I would try honing {polishing) the die couple thousands.

Yes I had seen that video, it looks great, best of both worlds. I had hoped someone had one of these & could give a review.
Forum: Leverguns
I just purchased a Henry lever in 44 mag. My 84 yr. eyes demand an optic of some kind. Thinking red dot of some kind but can’t decide what.I don’t want to spend 1000$, more like 150 to 200$ I do...

I have tried several times to use the “calculator “ my I-pad air out here in the sticks doesn’t seem to be able to handle that.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Yes I could, did a 4 to 1. Just thinking about jumping a step.

Forum: Hunting with CB's
I have seen it mentioned a couple times, but, where do you find a Lee mold for a gas check boolit for the 38/55. Lee doesn’t list one on there site.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I can only reply with my experience with my 38/55 shooting the Lee 250 gr. Which vita my alloy is only around 240. Anyway, tried quite a few powders, 2400, 4198, 4227, benchmark, 3031, red dot &...

I think you are right about the hint. I think I got a little oil when I tried to get lube on the sprue cutter pivot. I recleaned & smoked the cavity’s today and had a much better day.
As to the...
