I'm looking for a set of LEE Carbide .25 ACP dies. If you have a set laying around and no longer have a need for them, I'd be interested. Also reloading boolits, ideally in the 40-45 grain range...

Baron von Trollwhack, thanks for that tidbit! But where are you seeing the 41gr bullets? I am justing seeing 30gr bullets? I'd like to try some as well...

Tatume, I purchased a rig from Kirkpatrick back in the early 90's if I remember correctly for a Ruger Blackhawk and have been happy with it. Nice starting rig but I really like the rig I purchased...

I have to agree with williamwaco, yes & no. I wanted to try some as well for the .22 Hornet and ordered a couple boxes back in October from Beartooth and have yet to receive them or hear a response...

Does any one know of a mould for a .22 caliber 45gr FN boolit available? Or are they custom order only? I'd be wanting at least a .225" diameter or .226". Never have cast such a little boolit so I...

Was this article available online? If so, could someone post a link? I google searched but didn't come up with a current one for 2013.

TIA!!

bigdawg... weird! I have a setup that looks just like that!! Maybe even identical? :bigsmyl2:

This is a plug for bigdawg- he builds these tumblers and let me tell ya, they are first class,...

Have the RCBS case prep center and as long as you have a trimmer you're happy with, I'd recommend it. I've done rifle and handgun/pistol brass chamfering, flash hole uniforming and primer pocket...

Did a transaction with Frank Martinez and he is good to go. Thanks Frank!

I purchased some brass from KYCaster and he was a first class member to buy from. Thanks for packing securely and fast shipping!

Sgt2111,

I almost think that what's happening is that you are sizing the case as normal in the sizing die and flaring if needed, then when you seat the bullet with the seating die, the diameter of...

I sent you my order on Monday... will also pm you.
Thanks for doing this!

second question... how can you fill out the order form using excel on a Mac? :)

Jeff, I'm interested. Have a question... can I order 2 cavity molds with one cavity PB and the other GC'ed or is that just for the 4 cavity molds?

Thanks!

I agree with Doc Highwall. It took me a while thinking about the new Hornady tool, thinking that it was a great ideal and I was almost about to purchase one. But you shouldn't have to fix and...

Thanks for the replies!

I notice the "bulge" on straight or taper walled cartridges, .405, .44 mag etc and to me in those cases, the bullet has been swaged down do to the resistance of being...

Most of my dies are Redding and I was wondering if there is a difference between the Redding expander die/stem and the Lyman "M" die? I'm asking because I'd like to open up the area of the case that...

44man,

Just trying to understand what you spoke of- are you saying that you don't use LPM primers for powders like H110/296? And don't like using Win LP primers for these powders also because in...

Pat I, I think you hit the nail on the head there. I did say I was sizing a LFN which in this case is a LBT bullet. I have found that it's hard to get an even line around the bullet at the end of...

That's what I was afraid of... but was hoping I overlooked something a little easier to fix. With a Star sizer, can you use it with gas checks?

Back to the RCBS sizer, as popular as they are,...

I was sizing some cast .432" diameter bullets the other day to .431" with a RCBS sizer and noticed that the point where the bearing surface meets the ogive is not even all the way around. Another...

docone31 thanks for your reply. You brought up a valid point so I went and checked a sized but NOT expanded cartridge and it slipped right in all the way to the start of the crimp. So that does...

I have a set of Redding dies that I am using to load bullets I've cast and in the seating step, as the cartridge is being raised into the die, it is closing the flare that the expander die put into...

fourarmed-
the "test" I did with the thermometer was really a test to test if lead is commercial pure or not. This was from Bill Ferguson, aka, bulletman.

"The easy way to test your lead is...

Okay guys. I was able to spend some time this evening re-smelting that pot of melt in the photo's from yesterday evening. Two things were needed to flux the "mush" back into the melt. One was...
