If memory serves, I broke 2 or 3 Lee C presses when I first started reloading in the early '90s. Probably user error.... maybe... Those experiences caused me to avoid Lee presses for almost 25 years....

It's not always about balistics, as long as the accuracy and gun function are there, I cast for economy.

I have the NOE 155 gr SWC. I love it. Light recoil and good accuracy. It's really nice to shoot out of my XDS. 230's hurt from the XDS, 155's make me want to shoot it. They're even more pleasant from...

I have used a sled and dollie. The sled works well on leaves, but can gets harder on dirt/gravel. That's where the dollie shines. Place the deer in the sled, then strap the dolly over the top of the...
All these comments about piracy... is it somehow different when NOE or any other company copies a Lyman design? I'm all for supporting the custom shops, but don't kid yourself about your motivations.

Without a doubt, this has been the best and most useful shooting related purchase I've ever made.
The Scatt system is essentially a computer connected to a camera temporarily mounted to your...
Forum: AirGuns
It depends on your air rifle's KE and how far you plan to shoot. For dedicated 10m airguns (typically 5 - 8 ft-lbs of KE), try any of wad cutters from RWS, H&N, etc. If your airgun is more powerful...

Lead temp 700-800 F (no PID on my pot... yet)
I cast mostly (2) 4-6 cavity, 150 - 165 grain molds as fast as possible in an alternating fashion. I've got the aluminum mold temp probed and it runs...

Nice sketch! CAD's nice for seeing scale, but a sketch will do in most cases (like this one).
I understand what you're saying and that was one of the biggest challenges of this project. Given my...

Ausglock, what do you shoot the 35-168ZK out of? If it's a 9mm, will you share the load?
Forum: Special Projects
Thanks for the kind words OS OK.
You could do that, but you'd have to change the width of the magazine guide's opening to match each magazine caliber, or make some shims to buildup the sides...

Thank you Gremlin! I've enjoyed watching your AS/2 and Gatlin magazines progress. Those projects were the inspiration for my sizer and magazine system.
Forum: Special Projects
I don't think that would work because you want all the boolits to escape each v-groove before the magazine indexes forward to the next v-groove.
Forum: Special Projects
The magazines will work better if they are made from something denser and harder than 5-ply plywood. Ideally, the magazines should be made of 0.70 - 1” thick plastic (Nylon, Delrin, UHMW, etc) or...

The fixture and magazine guide can be made from 5+ply 23/32” thick stain or paint grade veneer plywood (plywood with a smooth void free surface). I strongly advise against using building grade...
