Have to say that I'm amazed by my 1903-A3 with a 2 G barrel. I size to .310 and have tested several bullets to date. A club that I shoot at has a match nearly every Sunday. Twice a month they hold a...

Runfiverun, You stated ---> it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled. Well I've bought the mold and cast up a few hundred of them. I plan to test fire later in the week. Let's just...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have been looking over a boolit design and mold on the NOE site. It is mold 310-196 MX2-30Hand can be had with or without a GC. I like what I see in the drawing and think it maybe a good one to use...

Have been reading that some bullet casters drill a hole in their mold to allow a temperature probe to enter. I have a thermometer that came with an LP gas turkey fryer that I wonder if it would...

I've been told that the National Guard used to shoot cast boolits in practice. I wounder if that is the one. I was also told that the NG Armory's were equipped to cast bullets for practice. When I...

Gesser, Got any idea of when that happened? The price of $3.95 on the price sticker leads me to believe it must have been back in the 60s that the handles I have we for sale.

So did RCBS pick up Ohaus casting equipment and now produce the molds and handles? I know that someone did, or must have.

While at a yard sale I purchased a set of OHAUS bullet mold handles in the org. box that states they will fit all OHAUS mold blocks, single, double, and 4 cavaty. Although they appear as though they...
Hey Guys, Found out where to buy the DAG 156 in 2 oz bottle. Ger-Tan rifle sells the stuff, and really like using it on my molds. I clean the mold with carb cleaner and then paint on the DAG 156 that...
375Ruger where do I buy the DAG 156? Please advise. I tried the graphite in 91% alcohol and it does not stick to the mould at all. I have a small jar that is marked DAG 156 that does a great job. It...
Back around 2004 I was given a small (2.0 oz) bottle of colloidal graphite in isopropanol. Have enjoyed success coating my molds with it before casting. I de-grease my molds with carb cleaner, clean...
Rick,
I plan to give that load a try. Weather here is so bad I don't even want to travel the 1/2 mile over to our shooting house to test fire. Have 4 benchrest indoors (shoot through...
Larry,
I believe it is near a #2 on the soft side. I guess that you may call it Scrapalloy.
What do you recommend for lube at the speeds you are shooting at?

SUNDOG,
How much 5744 are you using and what primer?
Thanks, Sendaro
Thanks to all that have responded to my questions. There is much information there for me to ponder over, and I will.
I have not been using a GC seater. I have one but it did appear to be necessary...
Larry,
I have two goals for the load that I seek. #1 is accuracy and #2 is to maintain it at distances 200 yards and beyond. I do believe that it should be above 1500 fps though. It is not for...
kweidner, What do you like about it and what boolit/ charge are you using? What kind of accuracy/velocity are you getting?

cbrick,
Thanks! I have some SR4759 and I'll give it a try. Have used it with CB breech seating in my Stevens 44 and 44 1/2 in 32-40. I hear that they are going to stop making it.

Have bought a Lyman mold 311332 GC two cavaty mold. It throws a bullet that when lubed and the GC applied weighs in at 194.5 grains. Lyman states it is a 180 grain bullet, but they also used to...
Ordered a mold from Midway yesterday. Have a Lyman 311332 180 grain GC DC on the way. The price was right and the design of the bullet looks like it will work out. Guess the only way to tell is to...
Took a look at the NOE molds on their web site. Looks like nice equipment. Would like to hear from those interested who have used NOE molds. They offer brass, and alum. molds. What's the big diff....
Runfiverun, I understand! that makes good logic. Thank you, Sendaro
