Any chance there is a load on Alliant Reloader 17?
I'll reference that mould As I've suggested having it just in case.

The Lyman casting book is on MY purchase list. He doesn't reload.

Got a buddy that has received a Remington Model 8 in 35 Rem. Here are his questions.
Where can I find brass?
What primers do I need?
What powder is recommended?

I ice-water bath all of my bullets. Out of 6 moulds, I only have one that the bullets it produces really don't perform properly and that could be the result of a bad crimp, too much crimp, seating...
I'll bet. I snagged gas checks and all that he had cast with the mold. I'll try to run a few on a warm day and see how they turn out With wheel weights. i have 1 in 9 and 1 in 7 twist AR's...
I looked and the blurry pictures feom NEI on my tablet weren't helping. I snagged what is claimed to be a 63 grain NEI mold in .224 diameter. it's got some scuffing on top like the sprue plate is...

How did the AP "feel" when this happened? Was it an old pawl?
Pawls is one item that Hornady suggests keeping on-hand for the AP along with the springs.
Debris or a casing with issues.

Wasn't sure where to put this thread, so here goes.
I am considering pre-loading a 5-gallon bucket of casings with primers and sealing it up. I've seen nitrogen used to push the air out of Mylar...

Make sure you raise the keel off the ground and put something under and around the area to catch lead shavings. WEAR EYE PROTECTION!

No doubt! I use an old cast iron grill as an oven and it melts it down pretty quick, more so once some has melted and is in the bottom.

Melted this sucker down last night and OH MY did it stink! It smelled worse than catfish from the muddy Mississippi!

The 75 is awesome! Congrats on finding one in stainless. If memory serves from when I had mine, 135 grain was optimal for those.

You read that right. He had a broadhead mold. I had never seen such a thing. It looked like it would produce some wide and really thin arrow heads.
I had seen the clay molds before, but this...

Like an addict, I asked if he had any more.
Been trying to get the car and tire shops in Licking, Mo to get on board with hoarding for me. The farmers have helped, but they now know I cast and...

I have the RCBS truncated cone, love it! I was weary about feeding problems, but the Glock chews them up without argument in my LWD barrel.

Temp up until frosting of the bullet occurs, then back it off and you will be just right.
If the load was not changed then rule out the human first. The recent group looks distinctly like breathing and hand squeeze.
If handgun round placement varies with velocity you might want to...
