I was on the line when an early Rock Island '03 failed. It did not blow up, but after a shot, on extraction, a good sized piece of the top of the receiver just fell off. Inspection of the metal under...

I've been casting and reloading for about a decade. I'm not doing anything unusual, staying in the mid-ranges on loads, trying to be meticulous about the process, etc.
Recently purchased a Ruger...

I joined the forum for the knowledge base. When I started casting, I was in need of trained help, and I found it here. I stayed because of the community. It's like I'm listening to friends at my...

Mal,
Great repair. I have one in pieces and am going to follow your example.

I cut the FMJ cases with a large set of wire cutters. You just have to break through the jacket in one spot. Lead melts, jackets float.

I haven't (yet) had this problem, but I had a friend with a Dillon that was loading .45ACP and let the powder hopper run out. The empties were mixed in with the good. This method would have helped...

Fluxed and ready for the small pot. This was from the last of the wheel weights I had acquired, which is a good thing, and it adds to the pile of ready ingots.

Titegroup has been my powder of choice for both 9mm and .45ACP for years (3? 4? at least). All with cast. I'm not making anything to go all that fast, but leading is not a problem.

Hickok,
My 30 year old son died the same way last November. You are absolutely right when you say Depression is a disease and sometimes it is a fatal disease.

Went to the range for the first time this year yesterday afternoon. While loading up, I realized I need to get back to reloading (or start buying). Thinking about reloading made me remember I hadn't...

My 30 year old son died Nov. 4th, 2015, also from suicide.
Prayers for you, as I do know.
I shoot a lot of cast 200 gr SWC .45 through a Springfield. It's not a Range Officer model, but if I was in the market for a 9mm 1911, the Springfield would be one I would consider. Besides, you...
Thanks Outpost75, I have been shooting cast in my '03 and wondering how they would do in a Garand. I'm going to use your dope as a starting point.
If I had got going, I would likely have about 200 of them and being trying to decide if i was going to try loading some or just dump that back in with the sprue for next time.
