Its good to be cautious with what we do. I dont think you have to worry about it with the wet tumble the cases come out sparkly clean. The biggest worry is ingestion of lead, so i always try and at...

Pour the gunk down the drain, run some fresh water over cleaned brass. Use dawn and lemi shine they come out pretty clean so i wouldnt worry about special soap. I also recommend not using the steel...

I refuse to believe that all powder measures are equal after my experience with my lee measure. (Which i bought after reading all the stories of guys forsaking their more expensive measures in favor...

Odd, I dont flux and my clips come out burned looking and with no alloy at all on them.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Im still fairly new to this but i've done it off and on for a few years and if you had alloy still sticking to the clips then to me it sounds like your alloy simply wasnt up to tempature yet. Once it...

Maybe this is why I dont have to flux lol. I dont know, I just know that I honestly notice no difference so I dont bother any longer.

As I said, im fine with .1/.2, but my measure was throwing up to a full grain off on pistol rounds, which I find way too inconsistent. I am not using stick powders, I load mostly unique and 2400....
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Can you elaborate on the reasons why? I originally wanted the 650, but decided on the 550 for two reasons. I load a lot of calibers, and 2, I see a lot of complaints from auto indexing presses...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Hi guys, i've been doing a lot of research on presses. Looking at the dillon 650, the Lock N Load, and the dillon 550. I think i've settled on the 550 for various reasons. The only hangup I have is...

The last few batches of wheel weights i've processed, I stopped fluxing. I just stir the lead and pull out the dirt that comes up. When using my bottom pour pot I can say i've noticed no difference...

Forum: Casting Equipment
hey guys, i melt a lot of flashing and wheel weights the tar and nasty stuff makes horrible smoke and the wind seems to always bring it my way. i can still smell it through my current respirator so...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I finnally gave in and tried it after nearly getting smoked to death from allox in my local range. I am very impressed. Took me 2-3 coats to get something I liked the look of using some powder coat...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Lol, when I was covering the range in smoke, I turned and apologized to the old timer shooting beside me, to which he replied "Hey, it smelled good! What was that?!"
Forum: Cast Boolits
This is kind of what i was wondering. If there would not be a clean fill out, just have clumps of stuff in the TL grooves.

Do you find it easier or harder to get a nice powder coating on tumble lube designs? I am considering switching over to powder coating, but my mold are of the tumble lube variety, I am wondering if...

The thing is, the whole building the perfect bullet f or each gun does work for me. I shoot a lot and my buddy shoots with me. So my .357 magnum rounds go between my revoler, his revolver, and my...

I am only 35, and things have even changed a lot in my lifetime. I am not one to follow trends or fads, and I tend to lean toward older ways of doing things, as I find people used to do things right,...

I was shooting quenched wheel weight boolits. I had been shooting unsized boolits for my 357 magnum that were .360. I started sizing and shot mostly the sized boolits today that were sized to .359....

I usually shoot at a very large range and the smoke dissappates there rather nicly, though its still pretty noticeable. Today I was at a small local shop with 6 lanes just to test some of my loads,...
