I am shooting 44 mag and .357 that I loaded 30 years ago and they shoot great. If the can be good in a brass case for that long, in a sealed container the should still be fine. I they pass the...

I use the silicone mats and ice trays. The trays for me make better looking boolits. I haven't noticed much smoke.

I have a similar sizing problem when I drop the boolits directly from oven to cold water. My alloy is pretty hard to begin with and quenching makes them so hard that when resizing after coating,...

Gasoline in a coffee can, just enough to cover the boolits. Soak in a safe place most of the day. Wash them with Dawn and rinse thoroughly, dry on a towel or a dehydrator. Rinse in a clean...

Post #12 interests me. The word "deathgrip " makes me wonder that if the PC makes the boolit stick to the brass to the point that causes pressure spikes. I have flattened primers on brass that fired...

The rounds were exactly in dimensions as the uncoated rounds. I didn't run them over my chronograph. I had only made up 50 rounds just to test function. I will reload and try it again next time I...

I am new to powder coating and have had good results. The mold is a Saeco 924, 125 gr. sac gc.. I'm getting flattened primers where When not coated there are no pressure signs. They are sized after...
I alway simply remove the O ring and use their nuts like any other. Or yet buy Dillon nuts and wrench.

I use a saeco #924. It's a GC and can be run pretty hot. Works really well in my 357 Sig. and my G19.

I use 12 gr. of #9 in my Sig229 w/4 inch barrel. Works great and is quite consistent. 125 gr. with gas check at about 1300+ and as accurate as I can hold.
I've never had a problem with my Lachmiller with either dies. But after getting a Star, the machine doesn't get much use.

Does anyone know if these are being made in China?

I reload once fired FBI brass thats been fired through Glock 22's. I bought a Wolf barrel to be safe, but as long as you don't load hot it should be OK. I mean like target loads. The Wolf barrel...

Pat Marlin's stuff is great. If he makes a plate for the 650, it will work. Personally, I use a Dillon strong mount for my 650. It isn't quick change, but as heavy as the press is, I don't ever...

I'm with Walkingwolf. Hot water and Dawn, rinse, dry, done.

The only thing I use the Lee 357 FCD die for is to size the bases of 5.56 brass down. If they don't drop in and out of my checker, one pass through the die and the do. This is of course after they...

Nothing! I have been trying to get 7 so called Assault rifle ready to register in California. California sucks. I've lived here for 70 years and never would have imagined it could get this bad. ...

I'd go with any of the small lathe type trimmers. I have an old Forester that I bought around 1970. Keep it lubed and it will last a lifetime. I use it for not so common type calibers. Most of my...

I have used Saeco #924 two holer for my super and 357 Sig. It feeds well in my Sig 229 and I use it in 9MM also. For me it is an all around bullet. It's a gas check design. The Sig is a tack...

Years ago when i played with the 38 super, I blew out the sides of the case using 30 auto brass. Not on everyone but I never knew when it would occur. The case bulged more that the super brass kind...

I only have one gauge and it is for 5.56 from EGW. I have 5 AR's that I load for and if it drops and plunks in the EGW and falls free it still is no guarantee that it will not get stuck in the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sounds like the brass was previously fired in a Glock or other poorly supported chamber. I had that problem and bought a Redding bulge buster and de-bulge before sizing and all my rounds plunk now. ...
