rcbs. I know i would love to get a start eventually. I actually just sold the rcbs. Sold all the dies. Too. I made sure i casted a whole bunch and lubed a whole bunch too. Thinking about maybe in...

a few thousand cast bullets. you need to have a lot of time on your hand. Now if you are using a 6 cavity mold it could take you 2-3 hours to make 2000 bullets. Thats the easy part. Of course it...

Yep using the lee mold. i do have some pure lead. i have to make sure i keep them seperate from the wheel weights for sure.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks make sense. I guess thats why you cant find sizers for muzzle loading bullets too. Cool well looks like i am totally ready for my next outing.

What i can say with LLA. when i shoot it for my centerfires.
I try to cast way ahead of time. If im in a desperate hurry i do what can get me in trouble. If not then i cast a head of time. This...

Great then what would be a good lube to use on muzzle loading bullets.
What about johnson paste wax. has anyone tried that
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thats a darn good idea. NOW i know how to fix mine.

lube them then let them dry over nite then size them. then lube again.
Yes some lube will come off around the rings when you go to seat the bullet. But thats normal.
NOW if...

Has anyone ever casted shot for shot gun. It seems like it would be so simple however the only machine i found runs for 375.00. it seems if you were to be able to get a mold you could make a whole...

Aneat looks good. Now the trick that i do is put some baby powder on the ball when you go to use it. then it will absorb any sweat and make it so easy to use.

Morgan i dont know how to say this. But im both happy and sad about your sizer. First i hope you get it fixed and working correctly. I will be watching the outcome of this.
Second im so glad i...
Forum: Cast Boolits
thats a very good deal i would be buying as much as i could.
Buck shot wow nice work. Id love to have the experience you have with a lathe.
Ok here is my take. First of all i own about 14 lee molds. I have a problem with a few of them.
Yes the 6 cavities are way better.
Pre heating is a must never never use water to cool down the...
six cavity molds for me. Same here a hot plate works good. I have done without though too. I bottom pour. I have learned to do it in stages. i Put the mold block on the temp control behind the actual...
