Thanks much! Like others have said, info and snap caps(!) serve as good insurance against what the new regime's policies will likely bring.

And was really impressed with the results. I normally use Lee molds that drop boolits for pan lubing with an alox mix, but wanted to have one other "back up" 9mm mold in case things really start...

Finally got around to shooting my own cast boolits, and they shoot great! Many thanks to Mr. Richard Lee for making these inexpensive and functional casting tools available to the masses.

So I've been reading all about how tumble-lubed pills can leave build-up inside seating dies, which will eventually affect seating depth. I know I'm nowhere near the first to suggest cleaning pills...

Thanks again for all the input. I'm now happy to say that I've rolled my first complete batch of cartridges in the 5 years I've been rolling my own! It's pretty awesome to be able to say that. Now...

Hello Lead Wizards,
Continuing to practice using all the great pointers received here. Decided to post some pics since I'm a visual learner (which is code for "I don't like to read too much"),...

I've used sliding sinkers that can be found at any sporting goods store, a softer rubber mallet, and a wooden dowel. Measure from groove to groove in the bore taking care not to damage the muzzle in...

So after years of reloading but never casting my own pills, I finally took the plunge and cast some .452s and .358s using some used Lee molds. I've been melting wheel weights I've stockpiled (lucky...

Thanks much for all of the responses! Didn't expect this many replies given my n00b status on these boards. And I already learned my lesson about adding additional WWs to the molten lead...I heard...

Hello all,
Just cast my first ingots today after just having acquired materials/WWs to cast over the last couple of weeks, and got happy enough with the results that I decided to post. Figured...

Howdy from South Texas! Finally decided to begin casting my own pills after rolling my own for a few years. I was fortunate enough to get a deal on a bunch of used gear to get me started casting...
