You could probably go to Mountain Moulds and use their mould design tool to modify an existing design. I would start with a WFN design and expand the meplat to near maximum.

I did that with the...

I worked at Kroger in HS and some in college (this was nearly 30 years ago). What the cashier was doing was part of my training back then.

What problem does this solve?

While I use a wrench to tighten mine down, I only go as far as it takes to compress the rubber o-ring. I've never had a die come loose or lose it's adjustment.

An early S&W 32SWL hand ejector. The sights and grip were just too small for me. Beautiful gun in fantastic condition for its age, but it was just sitting in the back of the safe. Since I have a...

If you tote the 3 1/2" gun in the 4" holster too long or too often, gravity will cause the barrel will stretch till it fills out the holster. ;)

This is what I do. I like the muffin pans better as the ingots stack easier.

Working from memory, I ran 180gr XTPs with 13gr H110. I sold my GP100 to a friend a few years ago (after more than 10 years of ownership). He still has it and some of those loads.

There are too many good used S&Ws and Rugers to consider a Taurus at any price other than free.

No worries. Assuming this is the same mould, http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?11018-Lee-358-260-RF-Group-Buy-History, it's not quite what I'm looking for. It looks like a long...

I was unaware of this bullet. Can you post a pic of the bullet profile? Does Lee have any more?

Their 240gr LSWCBB bullet shoots well out of my Redhawk with 6.7gr of Trail Boss (1000fps out of my gun, a tad faster than advertised). They push through the cylinder throats with light finger...

Hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've been haunting the thrift stores and such around here. I haven't found anything small yet. The gun shops in the area don't carry much in the way of casting gear.

This isn't a long-term...

I'm still accumulating tools and such for boolit casting, but would like to begin small scale production now (casting 20-50 boolits at a time). The problem is, my lead pot, an old steel cooking pot,...

I have 100lbs of an alloy similar to Taracorp and 42lbs of WW (that is to be shared with the guy who acquired it though).

That'll give me 2800 .44 boolits (taracorp batch) and more than 2000...

Patrick, I was given a hunk of x-ray room shielding that similar in color and also threw off significant dross. I thought it was oxidized lead mixed with dirt/dust. The dross I skimmed off is...

I took the worst of the bunch, placed it on my vice's anvil, and pounded it as flat as I could. I gave up when it got to just over half it's original length and about .5" wide. No cracking,...

I bought the RCBS 44-250K and a set of Lee handles. I bought a bunch of tin, lead, and Super Hard alloy from Rotometals and mixed that with my existing batch of pure lead to get a 1.9/5.4/92.7...

Ok, cool. I wasn't sure if I needed to oil them or what. We don't have moisture problems, so I can probably get away with storing my only mould in a ziplog baggie with some desiccant.

Chris

I tried searching, but couldn't find the answer...

Assuming months between casting sessions, what do you do with your moulds to prevent rust?

Chris

I currently have two loads for my Redhawk, a 300@1300 load for hunting and such, and a 240@1000 for plinking, target shooting, etc. Both hit to the same POI out to 50yds or so. The 240 load is a...

Cool. Thanks!

Chris

It seems I remember someone converting their 94 to 357max. Maybe Paco Kelly? I dunno, it's been several years since I looked at it.

Chris

Both the tin and the antimony or just one of the two metals?

Will the 1.9/5/93.1 mix heat treat well if I need a harder bullet? That's what I'm looking for, a bullet that air hardens to a...

I have 74lbs of xray shielding (assuming pure or nearly pure lead) and am driving myself batty trying to decide the best mix to alloy.

I'm going to cast 250gr SWC using an RCBS 44-250k mould. The...
