Yes, like Duerva said. I doubt any shooter here is good enough to see any difference offhand at 100+ yards.

You still need a BP lub, but I powder coat LEE REAL 3 times to increase diameter. Make them fit tite in the barrel for the best accuracy. This works much better than putting aluminum foil in the mold.

You can't beat 170 grain Remington Core lock factory ammo for 30 30 deer. The cheapest and worry free part of a hunt.

Tell Der my Saco Finish Mosin blows away any other rifle in my collection, any I have a lot of them.

Just dip the mold in the pot. Boolits come out nice and frosty so powder coat is better.

Waste of time to trim and sort by headstamp. You won't notice any difference. Just shoot it until it splits.

Scrap the junk poor quality GI 06 brass. The primer pockets all not always centered and break depriming pins. Factory 06 brass is all over the place. Buckets of once fired at my club range.

Put the cases in a loading block and go up and down the rows with large prick punch. I can expand 50 in about a minute.

It's a no brainer. I adjust and check the scale with a 30 cal. Sierra Match King bullet. They are exactly 168 grains. They also will shoot under 1/2 inch out of my Savage model 12 varmint rifle.

Go with a LEE Promelt 20 pound bottom pour. You get at least three times the production and better quality with bottom pour. None of the top of the pot slag you get and have to keep skimming with top...

Nosler partition. Why risk a trophy shot with a cast bullet. Ammo is the cheapest part of a professional hunt.

A bottom pour Lee 20 pound pot is the way to go, especially with 6 cavity molds, Ladle stinks. Too slow and you get all the **** from the top.

I usually shoot cast in my war beaters with iron sights, but I bought a Savage model 12 bench rest in 308. It shoots lights out with 168G Sierra Matchkings. Trying 180G lyman with powder coat and...

Has anyone noticed better accuracy with a certain brand of gas check over another? Are Hornady better than Gator or Blammer for accuracy?
Same here with the front sight. Used a 03 Springfield high one. Crest117 did you cronny. your 32.5 H4895 load? Has anyone used toilet paper for a case filler?
I would appreciate any recommendations loading my original trapdoor 45 70. I have been using 20G of 2400 with no filler and a LEE 405 G tumble lubed with 45/45/10. Accuracy is better when boolit...
