Thanks Marko!



It is possible. He’s pretty busy for an old guy (as in even older than me). I’m not even sure he’s going to take me up on the time I’m going to owe him.



Thanks for the...

Hello all. It’s been a while since I posted. Recently an acquaintance of mine offered up a trade of instruction in my profession for all his reloading equipment, as he doesn’t reload anymore....

Thank you! I will be putting in an order to Midway shortly, so I will be sure to add one of these to it. I'm also going to check a couple boolits, but I think (from the last time I checked) they...

Thank you for the responses, gentlemen. I am not exactly agonizing, but I find it a lot easier, faster, and less painful to ask a few questions that might seem stupid ahead of time, rather than blow...

Count me among those frustrated with this cartridge, and I haven't even started loading cast boolits for it yet! I read as many threads as I could find, but I still have some questions.

I've done...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the way to start might be PC or tumble lubed and unsized, and going from there. I appreciate the other options suggested and may end up going that route.

I have a .40 S&W semi auto and I want to cast for it. I am running into some problems which I hope someone here may have answers for.

First, the barrel slugs right at .401. I slugged it twice...

Thanks Bill. I will have to get me a copy of this. I've got two Lyman manuals and a Speer manual, but there is no such thing as too many books.

Thanks everyone for the continued responses. I will have to compare the charts in my Lyman 49 with my Lyman cast manual, and consider the advice here. I guess the worst that can happen with too...

Jon, I found that one before, but thank you for adding the link.

Fred, I have the most recent Lyman manual and there is nothing in it for IMR 4895 and the boolit weight I am using.

I should...

Thanks for the response George. I have been reading the lead vs jacketed thread along with this, which has some interesting concepts to ponder.

Once again I am frustrated by my inability to find information on load data. In some instances I just don't look in all the right places, and in others, there doesn't really seem to be any. ...

Thanks for the quick responses guys! I will start with 4.0 gr and work my way up from there.

Last year I bought an NOE 454 230Gr. RN 4 cavity PB (H&G 34) for my 1911 and a revolver. I've been loading to an OAL of 1.272" with 4.4 gr of Titegroup, copying a similar Lyman profile from my Lyman...

I've got a number of options here, one being a brandy new NOE mold that duplicates FMJ rounds. :grin:

This Lee design is not a tumble lube, although I realize I can tumble lube it. I can give...

I never wrote what you accuse me of. Economics is like gravity. You can't get away from it, and your own view does not change the reality of the situation. Regardless of the price, if one is not...

I am new to casting, but I am not new to life. I have a few comments to offer up here. It is not gouging if you are not forced to buy a product. The owner of ANY product or service should have the...

Here in PA .22 LR has been as scarce as chicken lips, but if you bought and stocked over the years, it ain't a problem :wink: Powder and primers have been a little tight, but both seem to be coming...

I did not know he sells handles, but I have a set already that will fit. I may end up buying some more later on, but for now I do have some limitations to my budget. ;-) My wife does not care what...

That is good to hear. I wrote Al this afternoon, got a response back, and ordered his four banger mold. :-D I'm still going to see if I can rehab my beveled base mold to make it work the way I...

Thanks. I searched and searched here before posting about this, and got responses that had no bearing on my search at all. So I went out to Google and started looking around, and the first couple...

In another thread I expressed some dissatisfaction with a Lee mold I am using for .45 ACP. I am going to attempt some fixes, but in the meantime, I am planning on acquiring another mold. I am...

I appreciate all the suggestions. This is an $18.00 mold, and while I am relatively new to casting, I have already broken even on its cost vs having to buy boolits, or even jacketed ones.


...

I did a number of searches, but did not find what I want to know. I have a Lee 200 gr SWC mold for .45 ACP, and a Lyman 4500 lube sizer. They don't seem to be getting along well with one another. ...

This is enough reason right here to fowl the bore. ;-)
