I had planned on shooting powder coated cast projectiles. Is that not safe with sealed Silencers?

I'm thinking about buying my first suppressor! I'd like to get a threaded 45-70 lever gun and shoot subsonic loads.
Any recommendations for a good suppressor?

What’s the big draw with this press versus the pro 1000?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I do think it’s a nice little press for the money.Honestly I feel like it’s easier to figure out then the RCBS pro 2000 I used to have which was triple or quadruple the price.
I agree I wish the...

After selling most of my reloading equipment in my divorce, I'm getting back in the game. Started out with a Lee Auto Breech Lock press and generally I like it.
However, I just got the Case...

Is there any advantage to the Lee auto disk powder measure, compared to normal drum-based powder measures?

Thanks everybody! Since otherwise it's in really good shape, I think I'll ship off the Op Rod for repair. Thanks!

Trying to figure out what to do with an M1 Garand. It was not cycling properly and when I broke it down for inspection, there's a badly damaged piston tip on the Op Rod.
Given how hard it is to...

Was wondering if it's OK to measure melted lead temperatures with an infrared surface thermometer. Have a Lyman Big Dipper and I'm not sure it's getting as hot as it used to, my infrared reads from...

A friend of mine purchased a .35 Whelen barrel for his TC. Was thinking about picking up this mold to make some bullets, but the only .358 caliber rifle I have is a Marlin 1894 in .357 magnum. Was...
I made a 3rd batch of bullets with the mold, after lightly polishing the mold face to deal with the raised edge of the pin cavities. Worked like a charm, worked up a load, took it to the range...
I can't comment on accuracy as I'm very new to shooting pistols from a rest to get solid measurements; I'm just not very good at it yet.
I can say that I'm very happy with the bullet design. I...

I found that there were small bits of metal still hanging on the bullet cavities, looks like whatever they used to cut it left some artifacts and it was never cleaned up. Used an exacto knife and a...
Cast a hundred or so after very light polishing of the blocks with 320 grit sandpaper on a block of wood. Not seeing light come through the mold anymore and the bullets were a uniform .362 all...
No offense taken. I have done a lot of Single Action Revolver shooting, but it's mostly been oriented towards action shooting (draw from holster, shoot pie plate at 10 yards, repeat). Shooting from a...
Yes, just the factory adjustable sights on the Blackhawk, fixed combat sights on the 1911, and gutter/blade sight on the Vaquero. Looks like I have some load development to do on the .38s!
Are you using a machine rest (Ransom) or just a 'normal' one?
Wondering what 'typical' groups are like from a handgun rest @ 25 yards?
Have been shooting a Vaquero and Blackhawk .38 special with my own various cast bullet loads. 4" groups is about the best...
Thanks Swede, did some light polishing on the mold block faces and now it seems to come together much tighter. Will try dropping another few hundred tonight and see how they turn out.
Can do, it's a fine mold, I would hate to damage it. Best way to get in contact?
Am trying out my first NOE aluminum mold, with RG pins for 38 special hollow base wadcutters.

They did finally get me a couple of shipments of parts to fix the press, no charge. Also helped me re-time the press over the phone which was appreciated.
Good customer service, although it would...
