    Here I've been giving my hard bound books to smarter folks who don't spend half a small fortune at Cabelas... It pains me to think of the lost research opportunities!

    I'll second (or third, or fourth....) the vote for Accurate Molds. I just got my third mold from him a couple of weeks ago--this one for my muzzleloader. Considering his quality work, quick...

    If you want to try something new, I've been using a mold from Accurate Molds (a new guy in the custom mold making market). I bought his 45-220A and have had great success. It's very accurate, has a...

    I've got aluminum molds from Lee, LBT and recently bought two from Accurate Molds. I live in the Northwest where humidity is alway high. I love aluminum because I don't have to employ rust...

    Go with Trail Boss. I called IMR one day and they told me that the starting load for any cartridge is to fill the case, dump the contents on a scale, measure what's in there, reduce to 3/4 of that...

    Since you're using a SWC, for a top punch, use anything designed for a flat nose. I have one punch I've ground off totally flat that I use for almost everything. In fact, I don't think I cast...

    The only time I've loaded checks without a bullet was making shot shell loads. I add the powder, seat a check on top of the powder--making sure it's seated well, then I add as much #9 shot as will...

    I don't know what kind of powder/charge you're using, but a charge that fills, or nearly fills the case would help keep the check in place. If there's lots of empty space in the case, a filler might...

    No worries. If I had the cash to drop into CNC machinery, I think I would just buy more guns for now (or pay pay off my house.........nah, I'd buy more guns)!

    More pics

    Here's a couple more pics. If this keeps up, I'll have to send him a bill for marketing services.

    The lead around the bottom of the mold obviously didn't come pre-installed.

    Pics as promised

    Hopefully these show a good representation of the boolits. This forum shrinks the files, so I hope they're not too grainy.

    I think I saw the same link somewhere too. I'm certainly not the owner though.

    Fair enough. I'll get some pics of the boolits I've cast in the next day or so. Naturally, they'll be worth a thousand words a piece :)

    I don't know if you're stuck on using Unique. If not, try Trail Boss. I load a 355 gr boolit under 14 gr of Trail Boss, no filler. Gives me 1200 fps with an extreme spread of 17 fps. Great powder...

    Yes, nice and round. As best as I can mic them by hand, they're perfect.

    In reference on the 45 Auto, the boolits dropped from the mold at .4515. I used a .452 sizer die to lube the grooves. ...
