I need some .45 Colt Nickle brass. If you have any for sale please get in touch. Thanks.

Have some SAECO bullet sizing dies that I won't be needing. All are in excellent condition. .308, .356 and .455. $30 each delivered or all for $75.00 delivered.

Cartridges inserted bullet downward so that presumably the first shot will be with the powder positioned mostly forward in the case. The remaining 5 shots probably have the powder randomly...

Generally I will fire all 6 single action or all 6 double action before trying to extract them. I have not tried firing one round at a time and checking extraction. That would be a good way to...

Something puzzling..... S&W Model 29 firing .44 Mag reloads, 240gr cast (linotype) with 14.5gr Blue Dot. That is pretty much the low end of the spectrum so wouldn't anticipate any pressure problems....

The sticky "Cast Bullet Loads for Military Rifles" at the start of this forum suggests that 16 gr of 2400 with a 170-180 gr CB would be a good "200 yd Target Load". The Lyman 3rd edition Cast Bullet...

Just wondering if you would have any idea when a 5 pound can of Hercules 2400 was manufactured. It is marked "2400 LOT 297 NET 5 LB" This can is still sealed.

A great guy to deal with. Ingots were exactly as described and shipped promptly. Thanks again.

Not sure that I should admit it (especially in light of Rocky's post above), but I've been using the same tumbler full of walnut media for well over 14 years now !!! Just add a cap full of...

Getting rid of my 600 pound pile of wheelweight 200 grains at a time... Lyman #452460.

That's a serious pile of metal. Enough to keep you casting for atleast a couple of days?

If muzzleloaders are considered "non-firearms" by the feds, would their projectiles be considered "non-ammunition"?

Just wondering what your preference is in 45ACP boolits for serious paper punching. I've been using cast 200gr SWC's (Lyman 452630 and 452460). Just got in some cast 185gr similar to the Lyman 452630...

Does the seat/crimp die in the current Hornady 45ACP set provide a roll or taper crimp?

I take it you were using the Lyman mold... it's the only one I can think of right off hand that has 3 grooves. I'm using the RCBS version that has 4 smaller grooves. Might have to try just lubing a...

Hmm... softer lead? I cast a lot of round ball for muzzleloading arms so have a fairly good supply of dead soft lead. I'm wondering if casting some of the double ended wadcutters using this buttery...

Actually I have backed off a goodly bit on that crimp. My idea at the time was to round over the case mouth somewhat thinking that it might feed a bit easier. Not using anywhere that severe of a...

Going to have to wait until early July on that one.... won't be at another NRA sanctioned match until the 11th. Will be firing nothing but the Precision Delta hollow base wadcutters there... 90...

Yes, I also load with 148gr hollow base wadcutters from Precision Delta. I save those for 50 yard slow fire though as they cost a lot more than using the one's that I cast and lube myself.... Senior...

These are bevel base button nose wadcutters (Lyman # 358091). They are loaded backwards into the cartridge case so that they will be flush with the case mouth rather than really set back into the...

Pardon me for being a bit sarcastic here Mr Balade but you're right. I made my original post at 9:19 PM and there were replies at 9:42, 11:59 and 3:17 AM. Then your reminder at 5:46 AM. Obviously...

Those of you that cast your own bullets for bullseye use... just wondering what you use for lube and how well satisfied you are with it.

I've been using "BAC" from White Label Lube on 148gr...

Rawhide hammer works fine for me. Wear glove only on the hand that is holding the Lyman 4 cavity mold.... use RCBS bottom pour pot.

Same here... if they hit the floor they are recycled. Also if it is a particular bullet that I no longer use.

What a great idea !!! I've a goodly supply under my table saw... tried it, may never go back to using beeswax again. Thanks for the thread, I would have never thought of it.
