A word of advice using a Lee pot from another newbie. Get a lead thermometer. They don't hold temps constant, so you will have to adjust your power setting occasionally. Also, if you are using Lee...

For starters, I'm a newbie when it comes to shot shell loading. I know many commercial brands of buckshot use shot-buffer in them and supposedly it is to help prevent the shot from deforming. Dose...

Most plastics break down when exposed to UV light. Sunlight is the major source of UV in the environment (obviously). I keep mine in a closet and the only time they see light is when I'm loading. ...

If you have access to scrap lead like wheel weight, consider investing into a Littleton Shot Maker from Magma Engineering or constructing a similar device.

Right now the alloy mix I'm playing with is a bunch of chilled shot I melted down and cleaned. It's a SAECO hardness of 4. Much harder than the stuff Remington loads. There 00 buck is really soft,...

I've checked BPI, and couldn't find really tall wad/shotcup like used in the factory Remington 9 pellet loads. I ordered some Remington RP 12 wads. They have a much taller shotcup than the Win AA...

Anyone use Mica Wad Slick on your wads? Dose it really make a difference in velocity?

Ok, I cast up a bunch of 00 buckshot with a Lee mold (un-graphited at this point for testing). I tested it out using Fiocchi hulls and primers, Red Dot powder, and Win AA12 wads. I trimmed the...

Thanks for the info guys. I'll get something figured out, but this is great starting data.

Hey guys, I could use some load data for the Lee 9mm 120gr TC. Any help would be great. Just looking for standard 9mm velocities.

The trick with lead is weather it is bio-available or not. Things like lead based paint are of concern due to the paint flaking off and becoming airborne. Plus the fact that lead is sweet and kids...

I'm pretty new to casting also. I'm finally kicking out some nice 9mm boolits from Lee molds. If you are using Lee molds, you are going to want to heat your mold prior to casting and your lead...

I'm looking for loading data for the Lee Drive Key 1oz slug. I have the data that comes with the mold, but am curious about others experience and loads they have tried. Also, how much difference...

The reason why shops aren't letting go of their WW's is for 2 reasons. Either someone already has claim to them, or they are taking them to a recycler themselves. I'm fortunate that some places...

I don't know about using a vibratory tumbler, but I tumble loaded rounds in a rotary all the time. No round hitting the primer of another round will set it off. Primers need about 3k-5k PSI to fire...

It's all about location. I live in a city of about 15k pop and the area surrounding is very rural, so there are tons of care repair shops in town and most of them do tires. The local car...

Well, for starters, I'm pretty new to boolit casting. What attracted me to is is the cost savings of being able to turn a basically unlimited supply of WW into boolits. All I have to buy is primers...
