Thanks for the help. That makes sense, I'll see if I can figure it out. I may just send it off to someone. I could do more damage than good.

I've got a MP 4 cavity brass mold that won't close completely if I install the pins in what I believe is the correct way. By that I mean, if the 2 positioning "bolts" that screw into the side of...

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...

I've got a hornady case headspace gauge coming tomorrow. Hopefully after that I'll be able to figure this out. I appreciate all the input. After I have a way to measure things appropriately, ...

To clarify, they are jamming when I drop the bolt on the loaded magazine.

Ok, I'm stumped. Hopefully someone here can help.
I'm reloading 223 for my AR. Out of nowhere my loads are jamming in the chamber. So much so that pulling the charging handle and bolt back are...

[QUOTE]anyone want a co2 ball remover for cheap?[QUOTE]

yes, pm coming

Funny thing, I told my son what I was looking for and he went to the garage and pulled one from his bicycle bag. Now to find an adapter. I guess their prevalence as a bicycle accessory (cheap) ...

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...

@dusty banister, Thanks for the link. That looks exactly like what I'm holding.

A friend that retired from Bell Telephone gave me this. Anyone know if it's pure lead?

+1 great knives. I field dressed a deer the other day and after cleaning it up left it on the kitchen counter. My son happened upon it and decided to come demonstrate to me how sharp it was by...

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...

Ruger Super Blackhawk, 44 mag. A boolit sized to .431 stops at the throats but can be gently pushed through. Bore is .429. I understand that optimum size would be .001 over bore size but is .002...

30-30 to 7-30 Waters

Not something I had considered, Thanks for the input.

Some I'm very new to casting and I've read sticky on here and more info and something just struck me as odd. From what I've read I understand that having a boolit .001 or more larger than bore...

It does not. Not sitting in front of me now but I measured the punch and it's larger than .429. I believe it's around .450.
I'm going to try hot glue first but thanks for all the options.
