Does the acorn shape on the ends of the handles work to expand the case mouth. I thought I heard that was the purpose of the acorns.

Cast 600 plus ACC 125 gr bullets for my 9mm and .38 Special. Loaded 20 for my 9mm with small rifle primers to see if they would maybe work. 4,2 grains of CFE. That CFE powder goes through the...
Would that 5.0 grain load be okay in a Ruger single action in 45 ACP?
What would be the pressure limits in a Ruger?

Before I set the mold on the melted lead I wipe the sides and bottom with a rag that has some WD 40 on it. This to prevent the lead from sticking to the outside of the mold. If any lead is sticking...

For my aluminum molds I let it float on the lead for a count of 20 to 23. one thousand and one, one thousand and two. The second pour comes out good.
After about 10 pours I also lay the mold...

I use it in my Cody Ballard 25-20 Win. 6.0 grains with a 102 and 105 Plain Base bullet. Runs into 1.5 inches for 10 shots. Not all the time but the bad groups may be my bullets. My 100 yard...

Started casting in 1970 for a Rem Varmint rifle in 222 using the Lyman 225438. Now cast for Single shots, handguns, and older Military bolt actions.

I have shot SP mag and small rifle in several handguns. They don’t work in my Rem R51 or my S&W 638. Hammer and striker springs to weak. They work in two 1911 9mms and my Smith 14 38. and the L frame...

If you tumble them long enough the sprue will sort of disappear. Then put them in a plastic container and put some lee liquid alox on them

The small rifle primers in my Rem 51 do not work. Not a heavy enough primer strike. They work fine in my CZ85c and both 1911 9mm pistols.

With the Redding small chamber I usually bump the lever at least once before I throw the charge with powders such as Win 231, wsf, tite group.
With flake powders I will bump the handle 4 or 5...

Before it was sort of an adventure. I sometimes wondered who would want a mould like that as I sometimes tried 5 or 6 pages before I got to what I wanted.

I use the HP38 aka Win 231 for my .38, mm, and .45 acp in handguns.
It is also one the most accurate powders I use in my Argie 1909 in 7x57 Mauser. The 7x57 load is a RCBS 7-145-Sil bullet with...

Received my Check Mate magazines today and went to the range. I loaded one magazine 5 times and it worked perfectly. Putting 5 to 6 rounds into the magazine was fairly easy but I am sure glad I had...

Using mag LR primers worked as good as std LR primers with light loads in 06 and 7mm. Just a slight adjustment in charge for both green dot and Win 231.

My gun is a 1911 Colt Competition that came with one magazine. The Brownell site has 2 different magazines for 1911 9mm's. Or I should say they show two but one is not in stock (the metalform). ...
