I ordered recently-he was there (but it's really really hot out there)
keep trying next week- he will answer.

update on my progress:
1) no more key holing with a bit harder lead
2) using either expanded cartridge on a separate press or expanding it with the dillon SDB makes no difference to my shooting- i...

thank you sir

need some clarification- do you consider BHN 11-12 hard or soft (i have been lead to believe it is on the soft side although not as soft as the near pure lead I made the original ones out of).

what a rabbit hole ..this is where I am:
1) i have fixed the keyhole issue using harder cast (bhn 11-12) vs 8 that i originally used- i plan to melt this down and try again.
2) i have the expanded...

i have a set of pins, i will do just that- thank you and everyone who have offered to help

You guys are amazing- i have learned a lot from the past few days- thank you.
I am headed to the range today to see how things go with the following:
1) harder alloy as mentioned above (proven...

so.. i thought the load was on the high end as well, that's what started this process. I dropped to 2.8gr or so and the key holing began so it's been a long slow walk up to try to get to the bottom...

ok, i will do that. now-- i am not well versed on pulling the bullet to examine- these are seated deep (a hair above the cartridge mouth). will an inertia puller work for this or should i try to seat...

thank you for the replies. If i can ask a few clarifying questions.
I am using a dillon SDB progressive press- Is there a way to use any of the expander dies with this press or does this require a...

Having some trouble with keyholing all of a sudden and am wondering: is it possible that the cartridge is swaging the base enough to destabilize my cast and swaged boolit?

38 special full...

hootmix, can you tell me how your have set up your master caster to work with handheld molds?
thanks

are you opposed to the corbin cutter? It works really well for me

the reason i asked-when i ordered a lbt mold a few years back I spoke to veral and he seemed to be saying to put the boolit in base first (the top would be pushed through the sizer last). I wasn't...

apologize if this has been answered but can you guys advise- when placing a cast boolit into the sizer is the point of the projectile facing down(so it comes out first) or facing up(so it comes out...

not sure what that part is exactly but.. if you call or email dillon they will usually send a replacement

thanks everyone- ill keep collecting

What are your thoughts on collecting and melting spent pellets for larger bore b's. I haven't yet done it but i have been collecting from a basement shooting range to do just that some day. Plan to...

i will take #3, pm sent

That's funny- thanks for that

I have worked with Dave Corbin for some time now. I have always found him to be very timely in his response, he often goes into great detail to answer questions i have and , if what i have ordered is...

that's why i asked- i use lube to size them (actually, i use bag balm) and this serves as a small but sufficient amount to use when reloading.
I dont really know what i am doing but this seems to...

do you size them after PC?

you can fill a die head with JB weld or even hot glue- i've done this on the dillon 500 with great success

thank you..
I took it apart, mostly to see how that thing worked. it wasn't obvious at first but, when i took a close look at the index unit (the delrin and pawl and spring unit) the pawl is...
