Your pics look fine to me, I use the 45-45-10 lube I learned how to make here. I have about the same coverage as your bullets, and get no mess in my dies, and no leading, or VERY little leading in my...

I just heat the stuff on an electric burner on low until it melts, then blend in the alox. I then put an ounce or so of mineral spirits in the alox bottle, shake it up and add to the mix. This cleans...

I use this lube on large quantities of boolits at a time, 1,000-1,500 or so, and being lazy I don't stand them up to dry the lube. The lube when it's thin enough to apply tends to puddle, and coat...

I use two light coats of 45-45-10, allowing the bullets to dry between coats. A little goes a long way! I have no problems with it gumming up my dies and the ease of use is unsurpassed. I shoot...

I cast in my basement, right next to the garage door, which is opened all the way. I also use a fan to help pull the flux smoke outside. I plan to cast boolits as long as I can get free/cheap lead,...

Thanks Wayne,

They are fast enough to "kill" cardboard!;)

O.K. I double coated the boolits with 45-45-10 and went back to the Lee FCD and reduced the powder charge to 5.1 gr WW231. With no chance to test them to see what they would do I shot them at last...

Thanks guys! I'm going to make this work, the savings alone is worth the minor headaches. [smilie=b:

I'm getting about a 1/3-1/4 bucket a week from my local tire store, I give them $5 bucks per stop and a dozen doughnuts every month, just to keep 'em glad to see me. That works out to about $30 a...

Gear,

You're raining on my parade. I was hoping to make this easy! Oh well I guess I'll have to learn how to beagle a mold after all. Wishful thinking had me hoping the lino would drop the...

Has anybody tried polishing the bore with Flitz metal polish? I would think that would reduce leading. Unless someone has a reason not to I think I'll try it and see.

Going with the KISS principle, I'll start by adding lino to mix, I have about 1,300lbs of it on hand. Lucky me. Hopefully that will increase the diameter enough to make 'em shoot straight. If slowing...

I have been casting .45 230RN with a Lee 6 cavity TL mold and was having OK results with it and the 45-45-10 lube, some leading, but not bad. The mold drops a bit small at .451, so I took the Lee FCD...

9mm brass works pretty well, flies true, and hits hard.

What he said! I'll buy some to try too.:cbpour:

I shot my first match with my cast boolits last Sat. ! Shooting the Lee 230gr. RNTL with the 45-45-10 lube, and they ran great! I finished 1st CDP and 3rd overall of 54 shooters, doing good feels...

I use a Lone Wolf barrel in my Glock 35 for shooting reloads, it has much more support in the chamber than the stock barrel. As others have posted the Glock feeds very reliably because it is loose,...

I have close to 2,000 lbs. ,and will still stop the car for a WW! I have room to store tons, and will quit scrounging when I think I have a lifetime supply. I suppose there is an upper limit on what...

Bump! Any word on when we may see this product? I've been using 45-45-10 with good results, and would be happy to buy it ready to use.

Nuthin' like a good ole' smeltin' party![smilie=p:

I have close to a ton of lead on hand now, including 1,200 lbs. of linotype. I still stopped on my way in to work this morning and picked up about 50 lbs. of WW. There is no such thing as too much...

Thanks to all who share their knowledge here. This site is a breath of fresh air, no mall ninja, gunfighter macho stuff, just good helpfull folks. The info I have gotten here has made my re-entry to...

I only cast pistol boolits, mostly for practice and shooting IDPA. As long as I have good fill out I shoot 'em, at pistol ranges looks don't matter much.

Most pigs I have seen go between 22-26 lbs. My dad was a linotype operator, and I poured pigs in his print shop when I was a kid. I going this afternoon to pick up 50 or so from an old shop in the...

What harm does it do to use a FCD? I have used one on my Dillon 550 for years for .45 ACP and my ammo shoots fine. Am I missing something?:confused:
