You guys are awesome. I really appreciate the feedback. I will look into the 148 grain HBWC as I do have load data for that. Thank you all again.

I agree with several stated above, it's either a case mouth widening issue or possibly over crimping with a roll-crimp. I have used Berry's Bullets for a long time on 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP and...

Okay, so after reading these posts...newb question arises: Is Linotype something you mix in with the lead before casting or do you cast boolits with Linotype alone?

Hey guys, I just refinished my father-in-law's S&W 38. I would like to load up 50 rounds for him when I hand it back. Problem lies that I don't have the reloading dies for 38 S&W. If anyone could...

I really like that page, thank you for the link. Newb question here - what do most of you prefer casting with (ingots), Linotype, Monotype, etc. I notice you can pick up some Linotype lead from...
Forgive me, I'm a newb to casting but clear up the acronyms for me please. What is "Cred" & "coww"? Also, if I am reading this correctly, you loaded the .223 60 gr bullets backed with only 8 grains...

That sounds solid to me. I care less if it's tedious or not. It works, and works well. That is what matters to me. Figure I am already tedious and extremely meticulous about my reloads...can't...

WOW. That is really cool. I know Corbin sells a small benchtop setup that makes .224 bullets from fired 22 LR cases. That is another venture I thought about one day. Thanks for posting.

Sounds like a lot of work for wheel weights... Simply because there's no way I could tolerate the kind of jack-a-loons who work at scrap yards. I'd just rather buy lead bricks off of eBay. Guess...

That is really cool. Is there a stamp or identifier on the items listing them as 100% pewter?

Never buy/shoot gun show reloads. That's just a disaster waiting to happin IMO. I trust no one else's reloads but my own...period.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Glad I read this thread. I was considering making my own lube, but as a newbie caster, I really like what I've read so far on the LS Stuff. The Carnauba Red looks very promising for my rifle lube...

^^ This. I use the L.E. Wilson chamfer/debur tool on a drill. Works great.

Okay, I know I'm new to the world of casting, but I cannot find a variety of decent load data for rifle boolits. Not at the moment, but down the road I am looking to cast & load boolits for my .223....

I actually printed this out, took it to Office Depot and had them put it into a coil-binder for me with clear cover. Now it is sitting on my reloading bench in the "Man Cave" for when I want to...

Okay, this article sold me on the tumble lube. I was considering pan lubing, but it looks like a real PITA. So, using this mixture as Recluse writes it out, sounds like a perfect way to go. I'll...

Just printed the book off and will get it into a binder very soon. This will be great reading and a reference once I get my casting materials in. Very excited to add casting to my shooting hobbies.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I am truly overwhelmed with the amount of great information I'm reading in these forums. I'm still torn between pan-lubing vs. tumble lubing with Lee's liquid alox. Right now, as it stands I will...
