Nice work indeed. What is a BH pencil and how do you use it ? Must be something I have not used.

You have 8 shots there. The 8th shot is in that cluster. Very good target! :bigsmyl2:

I never used lead boolits for deer hunting, but wheel weights seemed to work good for plinking and paper. I used H322 for powder out of my Contender pistol. I tried all the recommended powders in...

Thanks wadcutter

I am a lean mean casting guy, which means I will try to keep my costs down as much as possible. So what can I safely use to flux with other then buying a special flux. Is plain...

Trying to understand for sure. Are you saying a good way of smoking my mold is to flux my melt and hold the mold over the smoke that come up, including when it catches on fire?

I really appreciate...

I guess I should add that I do sometimes add in antimony and tin but same questions as above.

I have always fluxed but with concern with what I am removing. Is it possible to remove the good stuff when fluxing, such as tin, antimony etc? If so how do I avoid this and what different process...

Thanks you Sir. Thats all I need. I'll pick another mold.

Thanks for your reply Dudel.

I would still like to hear other replies for or against and your reasons or problems with this bullet. Thanks much.

Its for 45acp. Does that matter? What mold would you suggest? I want to stay around 225-230 Gns. Yes I do have a 4500 lubesizer, but I also want to be able to pan lube if it works out.

Also, out...

Thanks JohnH
I'll give a look see and try it one day. I've probably got enough of Red's to last almost my life, unless I live till 150 or so ;)

Great Brad. Congratulations on your success. Do you have any idea what your velocity is?

What is ACWW? melt mix etc.?

2500 FPS with tumble lube. You have my attention! I've never tumble lubed and really don't even know, but I don't want to steel this thread. I can start another when...

Thanks for the helps guys. I'm going to get this mold ordered as soon as I can figure one other item I need. You guys are the greatest. Always reliable and always great info. :bigsmyl2:

I like the looks of this bullet but I don't whether it can be pan lubed or with the lubrisizer.
If it can type of lube do you have to use? I've made up my own formula of Ben's Red, real close...

Fred, would you mind sharing your loading data with me for the 200 Gn. SWC. I have the mold and have been shooting it for a few years, but it doesn't seem as accurate as the 230 Gn. RN. I would...

Thanks guys

What does PC or PCing mean. I got no clue:oops:

Thanks for posting that scale Randy.

Are we to assume that full charge listing indicates a 230 Gn. bullet and a light load something around 180 Gr. to 20 Gn. ?

I'm wondering if he would have rather been shot with a hollow point of a flat point. :bigsmyl2:

Very interesting topic. After reading all the responses above I have my own thoughts as well.
First for a 45acp which isn't a real powerful bullet or load, the only logical conclusion can be (for me...

Do you have the number of this bullet mold, or a picture of what it looks like?

Hey I'm still learning, but my question is why not dump into soft water?

You know I've read on You Tube about 20 different times about which way the spring goes in and every other one does it back wards, and these guys are top shooters, or so they say. Common sense...

Thanks for your help. Let me how those work out for you.
