PM sent about a .401", 10mm single groove Star Luber/Sizer Die.

Hello! I have a question. I was going through my old molds yesterday and found an H&G 502 mold with handles that is in pretty good shape. Is there somewhere I can look and find out how much that is...

Here are some results from wheel weights, MP 115gr RN and White Label 2700.
Shot them in a Sig P320 too. One Glock barrel is factory stock and one aftermarket. Saw no difference in the amount of...

Just picked up two more jugs from gibrass.com on my way through Owensboro. Data on jug for 9mm and I’ve been using it with plated bullets to this point. 5.6gr under a Berry’s 124gr rn. I...

Well, in the spirit of being frugal to the point of silliness, I have found a new source of fluxing material.

For several years, I have used Gulf Parrafin with great results. There was a time when...

Here is what I did to minimize the possibility of having a problem with the load that is in the barrel and accuracy. I didn't go clean the barrel!

My accuracy was developed with a T-17 (I think...

Craw, call me Skip, please.

I'll tell you the thing tha surprised me the most though, the 2100fps + from my 26" barrel!
A 250gr bullet traveling at 2100fps is going to have some serious knock...

Craw, I will have to check that out, THANKS!


Took the wifey to the range tonight with her new Endeavor. I tell you all something, there is a reason to buy a Thompson Center Encore! That thing...

Well, completely new to the whole muzzy thing. I did get an Encore from Gander Mountain, and it is the one that you can replace barrels on, for just a tad over $400. Being a caster, I sure wanted to...

smokin',
One thing good about using AA#9 in the 45ACP is that there would be no way to get enough powder in the case to blow up a gun. Pressure would be so low that even a compressed load would...

Well, now you have me wondering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to recall what he said when we were there!

I know that it runs just like Unique though. Just shot some today as a matter of...

Not a GOOD choice in the 45ACP but with heavier bullets, and shot from a revolver, it can be interesting.

Actually, I have used it in 250gr + loads. I get better results with SR4756 for thumping...

Well, today I made a pit stop and picked up some of the Russian Unique from Mr. Bartlett. First off, he is a top notch gentleman to deal with. I will be looking forward to buying more product from...

Snowed in this morning too. Hit the garage and went to work on some Miha 45-270-SAA with the pins reversed. A bit with the H&G #502 and then the Saeco #456BB.

The garage isn't heated and it did...

That is why I usually put a subliminal message in posts.

(cast, you need to cast your own boolits,cast, you need to cast your own boolits,cast, you need to cast your own boolits,cast, you need to...

Had too many pictures for one post! Here are the rest!

I didn't start casting when I was young. Lots of family issues that made that almost impossible. That is neither here nor there I guess but, even after starting my own family, it took a while to get...

Great information so far fellas,

Keep it coming!

Heavy,
I currently use 9.0gr of Unique under the same boolit, well, the H&G anyway. I started there with the Smith and the 270-SAA and...

Brian Pearce had an article a while back for the RCBS 45-270-SAA. In it he had some loads on both ends of the extremes. A 14,000psi load and a 30,000psi load.

I'm no wimp but I just got a new to...

OK, I went to a wooden stir stick. Piece of cabinet scrap oak. Now that works good! You can feel it trying to float and it burns deep in the pot. Gets the fluxing all the way to the bottom.
...

Thanks all,

I guess I am in for trying some saw dust and a pot stirring stick! (That last part doesn't bother me at all! I've been known to stir a pot or two! :) )

Andy, Thanks friend!

...

OK, I am having some problems and thought I would as some questions.

First off, I smelt in a different operation than when I cast. Different pots and the whole 9 yards. I don't flux when I am...

Just got a Saeco 457 and it is now my favorite!

I guess I'm pretty fortunate then. In my area there aren't enough zinc and other kinds to make that big of a difference yet. Oh, sure there are some but still. I am getting about a 90% return rate on...
