I will be using mine this year now that the kinks are worked out. I don't know what part of KY you are in, but around here in the hills a shot further than 200 yards would be very rare, which is...

If you spray then size, only the drive bands get sized. The ogive is probably .003 larger than using LLA for example. To be honest, the 312-155 shoots really good for me with LLA, and can tolerate...

Sounds like you are having all the same issues that I have worked through with the Lee 312-155 using both a CMMG and MAS barrel. First, filing down the ribs on the Pmag is definately needed to have...

I'm using a Lee 312-155. I am using a cheapie oven, same one I use for PC. They are straight COWW sized to .311.

I have been putting hi-tek through it's paces lately. Hi-tek black, al GC @ 1800 FPS, 300blk. Nice groups but I have dark residue in the barrel. My specific question is after 3 good coats (each...

I love parting together AR's.....but my wallet and caviar taste can't keep up. The blackouts are awesome for us boolit casting case trimming fools. I have a stripped lower and Eotech in the safe...

Like some others, I think playing with your seating depth should clear up this issue.

My last bucket was $40, I estimate 100lb, worst bucket I've had, probably 30% zinc and steel. If it was pre sorted, I would pay .50 a lb.
That's what I have been doing, I suppose I will just keep it up.
I couldn't get a decent pic of the offending mold cavity, but these are what it drops....yes I know these are ugly.

I have a Lee 356-125 mold hollow pointed by Eric. Just hypothetically, let's say a dummy somehow dinged one of the edges on the interior cavity near the nose by the hollow point pin, and that...

I can't say its a do or a don't, but I mix my Hi-Tek black in a soy sauce bottle. Works great for mixing and dispensing. Just be very careful what you put on your rice. They are not...

Ya, it's for my blackout, 296 is my "baby bear soup" load. I made a deal with a member here today for a couple pounds, that should do 800+ rounds. I saw it on gunbroker but it was going to be $45 a...

Take what I say with a grain of salt my friend. I'm no expert, but the 300 blackout in supersonic is challenging. (I have no experience with subsonic.). I've had two Ar barrels, 16" carbine CMMG,...

.30 checks and sized .311 works for me, ymmv. I seat mine as long as I can get, and still be able to manually eject a loaded round. In other words, ogive almost touching the lands. Also, watch the...

Sending pm. Thank you so much. For editing an old trick I use is to read it backwards, it's amazing what you will catch.

In my humble opinion, all that is not needed. I know the convection ovens are better, but a cheapie will do.....just experiment and keep the time/temp up until your boolits pass the acetone wipe...

Don't feel too bad, I made a G21 go boom in a class once. Embarrassing as hell, not to mention the blood blisters and rattled nerves. I still don't know what caused it, fired out of battery, double...
I'm sure the smith is fine, never fired one. My edc right now is a Kimber Ultra CDP II in a Foxx Hybrid holster. The only thing I did was changed the grips because the ones it came with were too...

I would pass. I built my 300 blk to shoot cast. You can get as good pistol gas port barrel in 1:8 twist for less than $200.

I've put 34,000 miles on my truck running between my LGS's over the last few months, and worn out 3 keyboards and a LAN cable doing net searches looking for W296 or H110. I'm to the point I will be...
