You said it, brother. Rest in peace, Charlie.

If you mount your lathe type trimmers on a thick enough piece of steel (I used 10mm) the trimmer base doesn’t flex and your cases come out very similar in length. The carbide cutter is a Godsend.

Maybe stick powders cost more to make? I loves me some 3031.

Whatever happens, I like it. Messing around with different boolits, powders, etc. It's a fun hobby. We've already got Ranger T, Critical Duty, etc. This isn't necessary and it's not going to be earth...

I ran the Lee 120 TC boolit through QL using your 3" bbl. just out of curiosity. Without actually firing...looks like 231 and TG are very similar while Blue Dot would be much less efficient in a 3...

Unique for Specials, AA9 for Magnums if you can get it. Sounds like you know what you're doing though.

All good advice. Without using your mould myself, I can't specifically diagnose much. Consider this though, and my appologies if my answer is somewhat redundant and or obvious to you. Chase any vent...

I wish I had a groundhog problem...

Paul is one guy who could make tedious testing sound interesting. I enjoyed his perspectives, comments and stories. He's been in my prayers.

If you get bored some day, Sixtyfiveford on YouTube goes in-depth on how to repair plastic things. Good, knowledgeable guy.

Before I would go to the trouble of doing anything BUT remelting them, I would give them to someone looking for lead ballast. Can't believe someone would fiddle f... around with something like that.

I'd be looking at Accurate 2495, 2520 and 2700.

They were indeed beautiful. Can’t stand the look of the trigger on new ones. I’ve got a 640, 686 and 27 now and have no complaints.

I haven’t sold a gun since ’93 and still regret doing that. I’m careful to only buy what I really want and will likely keep.

Adds character for sure.

I had a Python from 1972. I bought it in Feb of 1977, the summer between school years when I began reloading. The guy we bought it from said he only shot .38 wadcutters through it. The gun looked...

I’ve drilled many, many ground squirrels through the head at 25 meters offhand and beyond using a borrowed 4” 686, mixed cases, 3 grains of 231 and an H&G 51 weighing in at 160 grains. It just seemed...

Pretty sweet setup. I’d be better off burning it in place.

What color is it? Might it be graphite, motor mica? Maybe something else? I coat and bake with Hi-Tek but I go 400 degrees for half an hour and the mix is 6 teaspoons to 110 ml of acetone. They don’t...

Conventional lube doesn’t play well with the M-A Systems collator. Hi-Tek coating makes using this possible, so when I want a lot of plinking ammo this is the way to go. Having said that, the Hi-Tek...

Doug, I am very sorry to learn of your misfortune. I wish I could fix it but will have to simply pray for you.

Fred, I’m gonna try a few hundred at .357” and see how it goes. I always enjoy your comments. I just bought a G40 and a LW barrel for cast with a 4 port compensator. Should be fun. I cast a few...

These comments have been some of the most useful I’ve read here: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?121607-Setting-up-for-boolits-in-a-new-9mm

Thanks Bill! A buddy has a Ruger...

Wow! That’s really nice work! Both of you.

I didn’t anneal before I bought my first RCBS precision mic. I would just follow the FL resizing die instructions to screw it down to contact the shell holder, lower the ram slightly and give the die...
