I have been a member here for awhile now, read more then I post, but have found a love in reloading and casting. This site in particular has been a huge asset as I learn, the only place to find a lot...

I see that other thread is closed, is this comparable with the NOE 311-198-SP 2 cavity GC Brass (311365)? When I search that number, I get to the 311-199-SP-K5. Have they changed the description?

I've been around for awhile, just read more then I post. Awesome website, great resource.

I sent Him PM also.

I would like a 4 cavity HP .358 if there is one available.

Good to hear, I'm making up a Lil' Gun ladder to take with Me.

Going to compare the W296 vs Lil' Gun, see what happens.

Thanks Moonie, have you ever tried Lil' Gun?

I see on the burn rate chart that Lil' Gun and H110/W296 are right there next to each other.

Maybe I just go with the H110/W296, read about a lot of...

So, I am just getting around to loading these up.

I'm using the Lee 312-155-2R, PC'ed with gas check, for this load I just sized it in the .311" push through sizer, averaging just a little under...

I would like to purchase one of these molds if it is not too late.

I would like one mold, thank you.

I was able to test some of the Boolits Today, after water dropping them, they have a BHN of 17.9. I guess the Superhard did it's job.:shock:

I did, and I appreciate any input.

Just getting to the point where I need to decide on a powder. I got W296, 1680, and Lil' Gun on hand.

I should add that I will be powder coating, and gas...

So, here are the results of My first real casting session.

I wish I could take credit for the pot upgrades, but it's a kit I bought off Ebay.


I cannot tell You the quality and craftsmenship that is in this upgrade. It is all CNC machined and makes...

Got Mine built, works AWESOME. Thanks for all the info off this thread.

It's too late to do that. I think it'll be good, it has to now.:bigsmyl2:

Yeah, I flux at least several times when smelting WW, and PB the first time.

I fluxed twice Today, while mixing.

Going to get some lapping compound tomorrow and lap the nozzle on My pot, also...

Also, out of 106lb of material, I got .86lb of slag. Does that mean anything, or is slag % irrelevant?

Well, I did it. Ended up just doing up 100lbs, figured I had 1lb of Tin, 1% makes easy math to 100lbs.:bigsmyl2:

But, I must admit, by the time I weighed out 75lbs of WW's ,and 25lbs of Pb, 1lb of...

R5R, are You ladling or bottom pouring? I looked up Magma, They got some cool looking machines.

I got a PID I ordered off of Ebay, with a kiln thermocouple coming that I'm going to build a temp...

Cool, I will throw some tin in then.

Last time I was casting, I got My pot stabilized about 675, casting with My 2 hole Lee mold, I found I had to be very methodical.

Was surprised how much...

When You say 4/6/90, is that 4lbs WW, 6lbs soft lead, .90% tin?

So, for what I'm doing, just punching paper at 1400-1500 fps, I'm going to bring what I got in the pot to 3:1. Is adding 0.75% of...

If You look up above, I corrected Myself. I was thinking of the 55gr .223 FPS when I put down 2000 fps, meant more like 1400-1500 fps for the .30 cal.

Someday when I get around to casting for My...

I'm just punching paper at 100 yards, not much of a hunter, but if that was to come up, I got a 30.06 that would be pressed into use.

I was playing around, and made up some 2:1 WW/PB, and some 3:1...

Yup, I stand corrected. When I posted 2000 FPS, I was thinking of what I have read for .223. My mistake.

I plan on casting for .223 down the road, and have been reading so much that I got too much...

Hello, Just getting into the world of casting My own BOOLITS.

Was going to start with the LEE 150gr gas checked, powdercoated, looking to push it to 2000 FPS.

Will be using My AR with a AR...
