I want to load some light to moderate loads in 45-70 for a marlin 1895. Probably will use unique & a lee 340 gr bullet. The question I have is, will magnum primers cause any problems? I've got a...

I put my bullets in a plastic zip lock bag & just sprinkle a very small amt of the powdered mica on them. Then zip it up & roll the bag around in my hands. It works great, no sticky bullets & they...

Hi Guys, I need a little help. With the strong run on the 380 with the Ruger LCP, what are your favorite loads? I will be casting using the Lee 356-102-1R mold. These would be for practice. I have...

I use a Lee pro 1000 & it does throw light charges. Usually I have to move up 2 disks to get to the required weight. A cheap digital comes in real handy...NRA PATRON LIFE MEMBER

I use miracle whip, 32 oz plastic mayo jars, they are clear & have a wide mouth lid. I put a note inside with all the info about the contents, wgt, cal, date when cast & WW or pure PB. They look good...

I started out with the lee TL 356 124 2R mold. My problem was keyholing. I read on other threads that the hi power guys had the same problem, keyhole & no accuracy. Another fellow said to try a...

Thanks for the info Guys. I will try APP. I liked the clear shot because I could fire 15 rounds or more in a row with no fouling & it was as easy to load on the last shot as it was on the 1st. It was...

Can anybody help me out here? Some years ago Goex made a black powder substitute called "clear shot" that I had good results with. They no longer make this product. Does anyone know if there is still...

I totally agree with everything that has been said about getting hooked on casting. I've been doing it for over a year now, I don't think I've used a jacketed bullet since I started. This is a great...

I store mine in plastic mayo jars, hold about a quart with a wide mouth lid. They are clear & hold a lot, I toss in a note with all the info about the boolits. Works for me.

Unique is my 1st choice followed by Red Dot. I use both for handguns & shotguns. NRA PATRON LIFE MEMBER

I started casting a little over a year ago because the price I paid for 2000 jacketed bullits was more than what it cost me to get into casting. Those were the last jacketed I bought. I totally enjoy...

I use Lee molds & have had real good luck with them. I load 5 calibers & 12 ga slugs. I also run a high temp in my pot & keep the molds hot also,once your up & running you can make a lot of boolits...

I got a 00 buck from skiesunlimited on ebay about 6 weeks ago. Mine works fine, I run temp a little hot, the mold heats up real fast. I'm casting good balls on the 2nd fill up. I've been using...

I answered this a year ago, I just turned 59 a couple of weeks ago. Last year at this time I was just getting started in casting. Been shooting & reloading forever, but this is something I wish I...

Go to ebay & look up user, skiesunlimited, he usually has all sizes of buck shot molds. I got a 00 that casts 20 pellets at a time for $35.00 + $5.00 shipping. They come out in doubles & you have to...

I've used one for about a year now, so far so good. When you can get it for $30.00 that's a good deal. NRA PATRON LIFE MEMBER

I have had real good luck with the Lee tumble lube molds. Mine are all 6 cavity. You can really go to town after you get started. I don't size, they are fine as cast. I tumble mine in a 50/50 mix of...

I store mine in Kraft miracle whip mayo jars, the big ones, clear plastic w/large lids. You can get a pile of boolits in these. Some I lube w/LLA & coat w/powdered mica, easy to handle, put a paper...

Thanks for all the input Guys, I will continue to research this, but until I get a hardness tester some day, it can sit on the shelf. It's only 6lbs so it's not worth creating a monster out of it....

The original ingot said Corbon on it, maybe the name of the ingot mold, a company, I have no idea. Why did I remelt it, because I'm not sure of what I have & it was a little too big to fit in my 20lb...

I got some lead scrap this weekend & cast ingots this afternoon. The majority of it was almost pure lead, roof sheating & plumbing drains & traps. But I did have a 6lb bar that was a little bit...

I'm new at casting but I've learned a lot on this forum. I use only Lee molds & have not had a bit of trouble with them. No break in, I boil them for a few minutes & then swab them down with alcohol...

Thanks Guys for the loading info, this is why I enjoy this forum, lots of helping hands. The longer I do this casting the more I enjoy it, I wish I would have started years ago. NRA PATRON LIFE...
