I do it often, I just use a laser thermometer to make sure I'm not getting over 700 degrees. It's always worked fine for me.

I just purchased a mp 44 mold and was wondering if I could order penta pins for it? Also it is a gas check mold, I just powder coat and don't worry with gas checks. Do I need to try to open up the...

Converted one side of a Lee 457-450 mold yesterday. I am hoping to get some decent expansion at sub velocities out of a 458 socom. I may have to open up the nose a little more to achieve what I am...

Hell of a good guy right there! If he's a meat eater you could get him a couple big ribeyes!

Man that velocity spread isn't much considering... Good work.

That was just some cardboard when I was trying it out.

I ended up using some plastic foam board and a homemade punch. Works good! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200917/a36b79571ffa86213b256ca28701f72f.jpg

Not interested in loading from scratch right now. I'm converting light birdshot to slugs for bulk cheap slug loads. I'm dumping the bird shot and replacing it with a slug and recrimping. I just need...
Looking for a filler wad to put under Lee 1 oz slug. I want to space the slug to the bottom of the star crimp and make sure the wad doesn't get stuck in the key drive. What have you had good luck...
Recently made my own roll crimper for 12 gauge. Just used pics for reference and I thought it was going to work well but I was wrong. The roll goes to the outside instead of the inside. Someone said...
Hey guys....really need a 44 hollow point mold. Building a suppressed single shot handi rifle and need some hps to open up around 1000 fps. Posted in the want to buy section and didn't get much....

I believe its just the barrel length and not the rifle itself. Go with the 1:8 twist... it will shoot 110's all the way to big heavy 247's

We can give you an "E" for effort. It needs to conduct electricity for it to work. I'm working on powder coating some hollow points now.

Bullets shot great! Haven't got to do a bench rest group but loose rest groups were good. I cleaned the bore before I did any shooting so i could close monitor leading. When i got done shooting 15...

Well guys I reloaded my first few boolits and suprise suprise they were powder coated. They are 240 grain swc's over 10 grains of unique. Dont know accuracy or speed yet but they sure do look pretty!...
Try some A1680 for your big heavy stuff. If my memory serves me, start somewhere around 10 grains of 1680 for 200 grain boolits and work up. You will probably end up around 11 grains to get maxium...
