All I shoot in my 300 AAC AR carbine is the Lee/Harris TL-312-160-2R. Tumble lubed, zero issues at standard velocities (16 grains of RL-7 if memory serves)

Hey folks,
these various dies came to me as part of an estate...
The black unlabeled die was together with some 243 dies (his main rifle)
That adjuster part may or may not go with it, the threads...
Working with a couple old bottles of Herco, so far in .38 spl, .357 mag and 9mm Luger.
I'm seeing some data where it's about grain for grain with Unique, though it seems to have a burn rate closer...

I have slugged numerous barrels and the results have worked fine for me.
I find a slug a few .001" bigger than the bore and pound it through the barrel, preferably from the breech.
On occasion I...

I only have a couple iron moulds, so its not a big deal to oil them after use...I also wrap them in anti-oxidizing paper, or whatever that stuff is called. Took quite awhile to de-rust one before,...

That's my only issue too, early AM and PM when it's tough to see in the cover.

Most shots around here are under 75 yards, all dense woods hunting.
thanks for your responses.

I have three deer rifles sighted in for the upcoming season, two will be throwing jacketed but my Mauser is set up with the Lee Karabiner (about 235 grains of flatheaded glory) over a charge of H450,...

Empty it out one time and lap that pour spout, then hang a couple heavy washers behind the wooden spout handle. Your drips will almost entirely disappear.
If it's not dripping yet...give it time ;-)

The Classic Turret is a wonderful press, and will do what you are referring to. It’s a simple matter to manually repeat a step on a single stage, even with the indexing rod engaged. If you wish to...

No issues with Lee. Sure, I’ve had one or two that dropped small boolits, only one with a flawed design concept (a 9mm TL, I will say no more) and upwards of 40 that do their job just fine. Lots of...

From what you’ve said may not be flaring the case mouth sufficiently, and/or lining the bullet up prior to seating. The bullets need to be sized if they are too big to chamber. Sizing also helps with...

Never use a scope over a chrony. I shot my last chrony three times, the last one killed it.

I have two Izhevsks, and they both need .315”. I use the 316299 by NOE as my “big slug” for the Mosins.

I think I will refrain from advocating or discouraging a particular load that I have not tested or seen, what I will say is that a safe amount of Unique under either of these slugs, in this caliber,...

The Lee 358-158 RF and NOE Elko 358-155 both work fine in the 357 SIG, right up to full house loads. I have loaded both myself.

You will be able to use a variety of powders to go from mild to wild, as desired. Pistol powders such as red dot and bullseye can be used for mild loads, with charges anywhere from 3 to 7 grains or...

There is more than one way to skin this cat. I use my drill press, cheap cut-off wheels on a small mandrel and a simple set-up in the vice to hold the case. Prepare the case as normal. Annealing is...

I recall doing some testing with 700x and hornet boolits (Lyman 225438). I used from 6-7 grains of 700x to get from 1900-2200 fps, 8 grains of Unique gave me about 2300 fps. Very low recoil with the...
