It explains how to determine what OAL will feed properly

Uniquetek makes a powder funnel that replaces the one from Dillon and has the profile of an Mdie. I was using an Mdie when using a single stage and got the one from Uniquetek when I upgraded to a...

Recently got this mold from NOE and cast some, then powder coated. Data I’ve found online for similar weight bullets call for 6.0gr of Unique, much more than the 4.8 I have been loading with Lee...

My local recycler told me they won’t accept anything that’s been melted down. I guess it’s to discourage thieves.

Saw this recent thread pertaining to my question, thought I’d start a new one rather than hijack with my...

Saw this earlier while looking at load data. Tried to upload screen shot..didn’t work.

I might revisit this later on, but if I’m going to take on a new sport/hobby doing 2 gun, ive got plenty other things to learn and worry about. I’m gonna see how things go this weekend and go from...

I’ll probably end up just using jacketed bullets for now.

At what distance are you seeing those results? Have you ever compared a 55 grain jacketed bullet?

So far I’m casting and powder coating boolits for 45acp, 9mm, and (without success) 300 BO. I am going to start doing 5.56 for a 16” 1-8 AR. Going to start doing some 2gun and where we will be...

1000 wattsx1 hour=1 KILOwatt hour.

Not sure either, but I’d say you’re right about propane cost to melt down range scrap.

The first 15-20 minutes it’s probably on non stop, then it’s cycling and on I’d guess less than half. Probably averages out $.03-.05/hr. Bottom line, not much.
FYI, last time I did the math on my...

I’ve been using mayonnaise and peanut butter jars for boolits and cat litter jugs for brass.289071289072

Wow!, is $115 the normal price for a 2 cavity RCBS mold? I’ve been wanting to cast for my 5.56 ARs but so far I’ve only loaded pistol rounds and 300 blackout, didn’t have much luck with the 300 yet.

Not sure those totes will hold up to much stacking with much weight in them.

You should change your avatar to a more recent pic of yourself, you were way less hairy back then.

I use 5 gallon buckets with ingots made in a muffin pan semi-neatly stacked. I put around 75 lbs...

Are you using it in 300 BO? Details on gun?? How does it perform???

ETA: I sized to 309 and 310 also.

ETA#2: I looked at your website and it looks like you are selling these boolits. I’d be...

Bumping this on the off chance one of the 21 people who have this mold happen to see it.

I remember you saying that other places would take them. Are you taking them to Martinsburg scrap on Moler avenue?

I have several buckets of what I have scraped off when smelting range scrap out in the garage. I took one to the local scrapyard a year or 2 ago and they didn’t want it because it was so dirty…...

I was loading subs and the barrel is the faster of the two twist rates that were available. (I don’t remember the #’s)

Anyone try this boolit? I bought this mold a while back for a 300BO AR pistol I built and couldn’t get it to pattern any better than an open choke shotgun. Due to component availability I...

I use a butter knife to scrape my 4-20 pot. Gets down in the corners and around the spout. Seems to work prey good.
