Dippers, or diapers? Thinking diapers might be needed with an overcharge of that magnitude!

I just ordered the pistol and I have this mold already. It shoots beautifully in a 625 JM and believe it or not in the beloved by all and high $ High Point Carbine 😉. I am hoping to get some...

I seated to where 90% of the crimp groove is inside much like in AR brass except no crimp. Tried it and it fed fine in my application. Failed to measure it.

I have no doubt that there are guns in which it will not feed well. I am just pumped it works so well in my carbine. I also have a 452460 mould that I have yet to try. Gonna try that Keith boolit in...

I have posted previously about my success with this bullet in my 625 JM in AR brass. On a whim at a recent gun show I decided to try my first cheap gun. Bought a Hi Point carbine in 45 acp,...
The 44 special flattops are winners for sure and mine is deadly accurate out at long range too. However, no reason to not have a magnum. I discovered the BFR shorty 44 magnum recently and picked one...

I do believe that the first time it clogged due to failure to properly clean it after extended non use and the last session. The second time was due to freezing since I was trying to lower the temp...

I have been reading and collecting casting equipment for many years but for some reason didn't get around to actually casting until a couple years ago and since then only about 4 sessions. Got a...

In the market for this mould and I see they about a wash for price. So I believe the NOE is true to Elmers design but the Lyman is a cast iron mould. Experiences, recommendations?

Lead fumes are toxic and cause brain damage and by the time Al Gore got around to inventing the internet, the founder of this site had already cast many a bullet and the damage was done! Since gun...

Love this gun. The JM grips felt a wee bit small for me which is odd considering my hands are not large but they have grown on me and now I love them. The trigger on mine is fantastic in both double...

My 625 shoots awesome with jacketed bullets but not quite as good with the LRN Lyman bullets from the only 45 mould I have. I bid on and won a 452460 mould and am also in the market for one of the...

I was with a friend who fired 9mm through a .40 M&P with no ill effects other than severely bulged brass. Can't be too careful with guns though. I was shooting the same M&P on a later outing and...

Basing soley on a few sessions, the four cavity was awkward enough to slow me down alot. Maybe I will improve with it in time and think otherwise.
Forum: Casting Equipment
As a new caster, I was clueless about different mould designs etc. I have picked some up here and there and tonight cast up some with Lyman 4 cavity, Lee 2 cavity, and Lyman single cavity. I have...

Just recieved a barely used Lyman Mould Master XX in the mail today purchased here in the classifieds and it is a sweet machine. I have been collecting moulds and all the tools of the trade for...

I prefer .35 Remington over 30-30. Cast the Lyman 204 gn GC bullet for it, and its fun to play with .357 bullets in it also.

I bought one on impulse also when they were on sale at my LGS for 399. Already have a beautiful Colt and a Kimber but had to have it nonetheless. Shoots as good as the other two, but the trigger...

I sold my house and currently live in a condo and I cast out on my terrace. As far as the neighbors know, I am spending hours on end at my gas grill doing who knows what! If I were in your situation...

I am fairly new to casting also and had to work the bugs out on virtually every phase including learning how to use my sizer luber properly. What I have found, is that casting along with reloading,...

I would shoot the gun from the bench and make sure, then load up some jacketed bullets and compare. Eliminate either the gun or the load that way hopefully.
