What is the recommended seating depth for the 429-200-Rf ?
Top or second groove?

I tried to use a top punch on the sizing die that was "almost" the right one. It changed the shape of the bullet just enough to make it require deeper seating to get it off the lands. Getting the...

Yes the container was clean and dry. Actually using a #2 coffee container and wearing gloves has made a big difference.

Tried a #2 coffee container (with gloves) and had better coating than I had with the #5. Still won't get me the nice smooth finish that I am looking for. (you guys make this look so easy) lol

Fired off 6 rounds of the ones that look half coated, no leading that I can see.

The load that I used showed leading before powder coating. Will try some more to see if it holds up.

If they...

Well so far it has been an interesting experiment. I will keep at it.

If humidity is a problem I have been doing this during a blizzard if that means anything. Rain yesterday and real wet snow...

Well I warmed them up and tried it again.

Coated but still on the ugly side. I will have to try cleaning my mold to be sure there isn't any lube...

I was only using a few at a time trying it out. I can try a larger amount and see if that works.

Boolits are straight from the mold, no quench. Some were handled, some never touched by my hands. They all look alike. I just can't seem to make the powder stick in the tub before putting it in the...

Thought I would try my hand at this. Bought Eastwood Dark Green powder. Used a number 5 container, shook and swirled it till my arm hurts. Couldn't get it to adhere to the boolits.

Warmed them up...

Thanks a lot. Good answers.

Guess straight lead it is.

Can you use wheel weights to cast round balls to use in patched blackpowder loads, or does it have to be plain lead?

I have been using RCBS 22-55-FN weighs 59 grains using straight ww and RCBS lube.

I have been having good luck with 7.0 grains of Unique in a 1:9 barrel.

Home Depot shows them. Around 19.00 for the tap.

I figure that on a revolver, even though it is a straight case, the boolit has to go through the forward part of the chamber along with the blowby and then into the forcing cone, and they are still...

Got a bunch of 44 mag loaded with 5744. waiting for good range weather.

Been going to try this for some time on a 44 mag.

Anyone have any luck filing the lube grooves and not the base with a lubrisizer?

Thank you. I appreciate it.

That is about where I was to start with.

Fairly popular mold, it is hard to believe that it was that hard to find OAL data for it.

Any chance you have a link to that article? Could that be 2.180? 1.180 seems short.

Does anyone know what the OAL is supposed to be for a .223 with a RCBS 22 55 SP boolit? I have measured from the lands for max length, just wanted to know if there was a recommended length. I can...

I like to use the RCBS ladle. Putting it in contact with the sprue plate when pouring adds the content of the ladle to the sprue until it sets up. I think it gives me more pressure as I fill the mold.

Loaded some .44 Mag with 4100

After looking at the cost to build one, I opted for a X-ecutor 360 Shooting Bench. Portable, about the same as the cost of building one.
It serves my purposes well. There are probably some others...

Try RCBS 55 grain straight ww boolit with 6.7 grains of Unique. Mine loves them.
