Wow!... I agree with the OP on the fact that this is a great site with lots of experienced and expert advice. I'll be honest, that my only 38 special is a Chiefs special that was passed down from my...

The you tube video wasn't what I was expecting. It looks like he just purposely barely put the bullet in, and they were jacketed. If I get a squib (crossing my fingers not to), I would expect my...

I hear ya! I used to live in Fresno, but now I'm about an hour away. I have to admit, I don't miss the new years eve blasting away. You can probably find several videos of how Fresno police deal...

I was casting some 38 and 9mm today and dropped a bad bullet back into the pot, and for the first time, got lead splashed on my glasses. It was pretty surprising! I do have lots of historical burns...

I'm jealous. We have BLM land that is generally open for shooting, but it is a good hour drive and then a long hike to get to where I can shoot. It is in the Sierras, so it can be tough totting too...

Oops! It would help if I spelled right!

I hope I don't need to remove the sprew plate screws on my Lee molds! I know, I might need to, but alas, I used cheap HF drill bits and taping bits to do this. I pretty much just used cheap screws...

I'm jealous! I can't see that opportunity arising for me anytime soon. That would last me a long time, though I would be adding to it to harden it up a bit (until I get my muzzleloader).

These pots must be all over the place. If I put mine at 7, it is way too hot. Mine will hold at about 750F at 4+. I've almost completed my PID unit, so I'm looking forward to not having to keep...

There is a new group buy that would seem to fit this bill. I'm going for it for my 9mm; check it out....

I would like a 6 Cavity solid Brass @ .358, smooth side (no bevel base), and one set of handles.

This is what I bought, and they work well (Amazon basics): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0725GYNG6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is what I do. I suspect that they have it all wrong, as I don't cast and reload nearly as deadly of ammo as the stuff I keep in my gun by the bed. Is it ironic that a less lethal handload...

I had an Alox bottle that was shipped from Midway that had the bottom completely removed. Of course, Midway, being great, simply sent me a new bottle. But I'm guessing that the bottles don't hold...

This is pretty much what I have, but bought at Wallyworld, and I also put ingots on it to speed up melting when it is time to add to the pot. When I put in on high though, lead was melting on it! ...

This sounds like a good idea. I just simply do as a few others have said, and drill a hole and put a screw in to keep the sprew plate screw from turning. I had to do this because I had the same...

Is this the tumbler you use: https://www.harborfreight.com/dual-drum-rotary-rock-tumbler-67632.html

Now this is useful. I've been using my hotplate to heat my molds and ingots, but I had not thought about adding extra space to my heating plate with a steel plate. I generally do not have much...

I would love to see a detailed explanation for how to set up this air operated press. Is there a detailed explanation here that describes how to set this up? If not, can you explain? It really...

Yes, they probably do stand behind their lube/coating as I would if that is where my living came from and in the reality of a new world of cheap PC.

My only problem with it is with searching with Google--I need to search using both terms!

I have the same mold, and my gun shoots fine with them now. I can't chamber a .368 in my S&W M&P Pro--I guess a tight throat. The barrel also slugs at barely over .355. I'm pretty new to casting...

So you don't worry about having PC on the base? Do you use gas checks? Or does it matter?

I know some will say not to size first, but I had the same issue you had as I'm likely sizing too far. I've now been sizing pre and post PC with great result. I clean the boolits really well before...

Anyone tried CLR, available pretty much anywhere. I haven't used it on a rusted mold yet, but it has worked well on other rusted metals for me.
