Last month I found a box of 50 .45acp that I loaded in 1958. Box said: Ideal 200gr (looks like the 452488) with 4.0gr Bullseye. I had two squibs out of the box. Very smokey, I imagine it was Alox...

I think Shotgun Luckey has it right. I doubt there is any real reason to rewire your pot unless the controller has totally failed. I am going to use a 15 amp outlet and plug the pot into it. I will...

++ to what willbird said, Handloader has been saying for some time that the "new" 2400 is hotter than the old. As much as 10% hotter. Using the Keith loads of 2400 in .357 or .44spl could lead to a...

Thanks gentlemen;
So with the suggested controler, a SS thermocouple, a 25A SSR all available from the same source (and a bit of configuration help from you guys), I can control my 1800W pot....

I am tired of analog thermometers which are slow, hard to read, need deep immersion, etc. I have followed threads here and see that some are using Cen-Tech 92242 readers. I have been unable to find...
My take on M1911 magazines for what that is worth.
IMO telling us something is MIL-SPEC, tells us very little. The specs. For the 1911 were generous. Some makers now tell us that they are making...

Oh, I forgot to thank those of you who suggested mold numbers, I am an old conservative caster, emphasis on the old. I don't know if I am ready for any of those "new fangled" aluminum molds. But I...

I like the Kimber, I have a S&W 1006 which I bought new, I usually take both to the range. Last week two of my friends fired both, I asked which they liked better, both agreed on the Kimber....

Thanks guys, I am going to post a wanted notice and see if someone outthere has anything they would like to sell. I really don't want to take the plunge for a new custom mold. the three that Morgan...

I want to start casting for 10mm for my Kimber Target and S&W 1006. I have beeen looking for used moulds with no success. I like heavy, 190/200gr seems only RCBS and Saeco.
What are people using?...

Could be other problems I suppose, but it feeds 200 gr HAP jackeded rounds nearly the same shape like a champ.

Thanks to all for your observations. I have seen a bit of failure to feed problems w/1911 in commercially cast H&G 68 style rounds. This is in one of my pistols with a ramped barrel. It looks exactly...

I need advice on alloys. I am about to restart casting after a 40 year layoff. I will be casting .45acp (452630 &460) & 10mm (no molds yet) to be shot in M1911 and S&W pistols at 950-1000 fps.
