Wow, hot topic here! I got one trying to solve a problem that it didn’t fix. I did not get good results with the fcd with oversized cast boolits. When I load jacketed.....I get about 15 per 300 that...

I have a old round lee........it’s getting worn and doesn’t feed all that well anymore. I bought a Lyman branded one that uses standard shell holders. It works very well so far. I don’t hand prime...

I am looking to do large quantities just so you all have the information for any other great advise this site provides. I am thinking I have about a ton and a half of wheel weight lead saved up. I...

So from what your saying make a shield from the base all the way to the ground? Sounds like a good idea. I will use some sort of thin metal sheets and rivet it on. Thanks!

I touched on this knowing I only had one mold. (That I can find) I think I will make some angle iron molds soon.

Well, I did just get one at the gas station. So that makes sense. I didn’t have another one. So I will get it filled rather than exchange next time.

I have been hoarding wheel weight lead for years for a moment like this. (Can’t buy bullets)
I have in the past just used my lee pot for making ingots. Today I bought a new propane bottle and fired...

I see my join date was sept 2017, I lurked here for a couple years first. So it’s been longer. I sell tires, I can get all the free lead I want. It’s in my best interests to make this work.

I am about 3 years into my 9mm casting quest. I shoot beretta 92s. Mine all slug at .359
I have a hard time getting a boolit that big into a 9mm case without sizing it down. I am giving up........I...

That’s a cold cold woman to leave the kids and take the lead!
Don’t get me wrong, if my marriage went south I would give up all my lead to keep the kid. I guess though if I died my wife would throw...

I have a strong mount for the 550/650/750
I could include a bullet tray if wanted and a bin if needed
Forum: Casting Equipment
When you do let me know. I am still saving for a new one.......only about halfway there right now. So you may have time.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I am leaning towards the master caster still. I also have decided I need to get an upside down single stage to size. Since my reloading area is small I will also get a quick change mount/base from in...

That truly is an awesome set up. I'm not sure I'm capable of making that. I am also getting quite restricted with room.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I can't bring myself to do that. I don't hate casting and reloading......but I don't love it either. I have a bit of hoarder in me.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Its good to hear they are still in production, some of the searching I've been doing has turned up quite a bit of negatives. That was the old company though. I do like the thought of the master...

That machine really looks good from the video I watched. That might just be worth it. I would love to cast that many, now I think some more research is in order. I never ran across that machine...

Out of my last casting session, I did 1500 rounds. Not many made it. They looked good enough while dropping, but they were about 20 grains light and oblong. After finding 5 good out of the first...
Forum: Casting Equipment
The master caster will be fast enough. At least I'm not willing to put more than 2000 into this thing. It looks like it has an acceptable production rate for me.

I have some lee 6 cavity, and a Lyman 4 cavity. I have a hard time dropping consistent boolits. I can drop plenty. Getting good ones to maximize my time is what I'm looking for. I think what my...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I already break my lead into ingots to clean it. I already size and coat my boolits. Im just making sure this will give me more consistent results. I would like it if I could take a day to cast and...

Let me start by saying I'm a competition shooter, that needs more practice. So I need to shoot more. I have tried casting with limited results. I don't have much time to spare so I am looking to make...

That looks great! I need to make one! That would work for sizing and bulge busting!
