Will this mould from Accurate work in FA 83? I’m going to try to do some throat measurements with pin gauges but don’t want to but only to find it won’t chamber. Any other of Tom’s heavy...

Does anyone have accurate data on lead shrinkage for different types of alloy? I have a specific bullet which casts very large (a 44 mold which I think should cast a .432 is dropping bullets at .436...

Before returning this to NOE I decided to cast some samples with a known commercial alloy, 95-2.5-2.5, which on aged bullets I measure BHN of approximately 15 with Cabin Tree.
My cast samples...

I sent a note to NOE and got a response from Al within one hour. He said send it back to check things out and that he will have a solution for me. Can't get better customer service than this. I...

I do have the .432 version (432-290). I also have a NOE 434-421. Both of these drop bullets at .4345 or so, clearly above .434. This is with my alloy with BHN of 13. My experience with this alloy...

After sizing boolits for 50 years I just did my first sizer alignment. In first photo, left one was sized nose first, right one before alignment and middle one after. I 'winged' the...

149862I am working on a hunting load for my Ruger SBH using NOE 432-290-FNHP. I am using my alloy mix with BHN of 13 as measured with CabinTree. They weigh 278 and measure .434 as cast. A tight...

When I was in high school (1960) my buddie and I went together and bought a keg of mil surplus 4831. Arrived via Santa Fe freight. I can't remember if it was 100lbs, 50 each or 50 total, but we...

Swede,
I did try to smoke it with a Bic. Probably not enough. I knew it was too cold as my mould oven would only take it up to 300 or 305. I tried to heat the HP pins with a torch but decided to...

This is my first attempt with two of my new aluminum molds, one NOE two cavity for 44 Mag (434421) and the other Accurate two cavity for my 458 Win (460350V / 460360J). Also my first time using my...

I would like to drill my Accurate 460350V / 360J for the NOE temperature probe. Per my photo you can see that the NOE is drilled at bottom-rear but on the Accurate the alignment pin is in that area....

The last task is the probe holder. I found an aluminum electrical mount block in the electrical department at HomeDepot which works great. I drilled it out a little so the probe slips thru, held in...

Just finished up my built-in PID. Added a heat-sink salvaged from an old PC, added a 1/4 A fuse to the PID AC line. Also added a 10 A fuse inside the switch box. This fuses the power to both the...

I'm refering to the smaller of the two wall-mount electrical boxes,,the one with the orange plug. This one is the existing 20 AMP source. Above it is a double box which handles all the AC from the...

The case is small but the L-shaped sides come off, one or both, to allow easy access to make connections. The SSR connections are close to the side panel so great care must be taken to keep 110AC...

Encouraged and educated by Cranium and others on Sticky: PID on Lee Pro, after more than 50 years of casting, I decided to add a PID to my setup. I ordered the parts from...

Thanks runfiverun, you sent me for more research...stickies tips for new rifle casters and how I do a pound cast. I'm going to stick with a 30-06 for now. I did a pound-cast a number of years ago...

In the spring I'm going to Newfoundland for fishing and black bear. I'm sort of bear gun poor, from '06, 325 WSM, 375 H&H, 458 Win and probably a few others. I've shot lots of cast in all but the...

While rummaging thru some old stuff I found the very first loads I cast when I first started reloading back in 1959.
At the top is the first box of 348 Winchester ammo I purchased, and in...

Thanks for all the input. I already had one fan installed inside the cabnet above so that's how the two fans came about when I added the hood below. I will try it like this and can always remove...

I just added a NewTone Range Hood over my casting area. Before the add, for a number of years, I've had a bathroom vent fan installed in the bottom of the cabinet directly above my pot. The fan...

After reading posts here, thanks darkroommike, I decided to drill my Lyman Heater for my 45 sizer.
Turned out great and the heater still works. One odd thing I noticed is that my two...

My second Accurate ordered Friday morning and shipped later same day. Ordered my first aluminum mold, a 43-260K 4 cavity at .431 for my SBHs and 29-2. Hopefully just a little larger than my RCBS...

I'm not sure what's going on with this one. I drove the pins out a little, too much actually. The blocks close tightly, too much for use, but surely in for a good alignment. The halves are still...

I removed handles as you suggested. They align firmly with no play, just shifted. It looks like the bottom pin is correct with the top pin pushing the halves in skew, twisted,around the bottom pin....
