I'm in need of some dead soft lead (BHN of 5). I've got plenty of ww lead I'd trade 2 pound of mine for 1 pound of yours. Each pays their own shipping. Hoping for 25 pounds. Figured I'd check...
I've got the side pinsscrewed into the HP pin recesses. But the certainly don't "slide freely " I guess I'll polish them up and see what happens.
Stupid auto correct changed MP to MPH. I've got a 4 cavity MP mold that I'm having troubles with. The mold doesn't want to close flush with the hollow point pins inserted. Without pins it closes...

Apparently the problem was simply that I didn't have the die set up correctly. I started all over again setting the die up per instructions and that appears to have been the problem. Thanks again...

Ok, I'm stumped. Hopefully someone here can help.

Does anyone use CO2 to dislodge stuck balls from a muzzleloader. (Not that I've ever loaded a ball before powder) I've searched the forums and Google and can't find anything recent. I've only...

This sounds very likely too me. I've been waiting until it frosts over but not alwats until it dimples.

I'm getting good fill out but often more than half of what I'm casting ends up with pin holes in the bases. This is a gas check boolit so idk if it matters but it's ugly.

Thanks everyone for the input. I'm definitely going to develop the load based in accuracy, just didn't want to go too slow. Sounds like that won't be an issue.

I'm planning on hunting this fall with my SBH hunter, I'm going to use the lee 430-310 boolit. While I have no problem with full power loads, what would be a minimum velocity? Of course shot...

Thanks for your input. Others have answered the question to my satisfaction.

Thanks guys, I've been shooting and I'm looking for better accuracy. 4" groups @ 40 yards from a rest isn't going to cut it. I guess I should have been more clear, the rounds drop straight into...
