Hey, let's add some more confusion, e.g. 7.62mm versus .308 versus .30-06. Or .38 special being .357". :kidding:

Here's where I'm at... Pulled bullets, reloaded 14grs IMR4227, OAL 2.66 - just into lands, used neck sizer without decapper to "taper crimp" the cartridges. Now waiting for weather and schedule to...

Tonight I will crack open and redo my reloads with the longer length. I have a .323 lubing die, hopefully it won't be too messy. I'll try the backed-off, neck sizing idea. Thanks everyone for your...
Forum: Cast Boolits
What about the OAL, 2.55 (short of lands), 2.64 (touching lands), or 2.70 (slightly into lands)?

I have C.Sharps Arms reproduction Winchester Highwall (Schuetzen) in .32-40. I was contemplating buying a Lee Factory Crimp (LFC) to ensure consistent ignition for fixed cartridge loads. Well, the...

I remember reading that about using ladle pours. The reason I got out the Lyman Furnace bottom pour was the little pot was just not heating up enough and I was getting a lot of swirls and incomplete...

:oops:Well, now for the rest of the story. I went back and carefully looked at those 50 bullets, wearing glasses this time. I eliminated the two light ones, for indeed they did have tiny holes at...

Need to get new camera, sorry. Hochs are top pour. Bullets are in great shape, all edges are sharp, especially base. Nose cut clean, no cavities, np waves, no frsoting, etc. Tossed all bad...

Bought some 1/25 lead, have a Hoch .322-200gr no-taper mould for fixed ammo for .32-40 Highwall. Out of 200, I randomly selected, sized (.321), and lubed (SPG) 50 boolits to see how they would come...

The comments about the external mounted Unertls, Feckers, etc., is correct. But fo the era, late 20 Century, you're talking long-tube scopes.

Friend found some some lead but supposedly they're huge 20-40lbs chunks. Any idea how we can melt that down so it can then go into a typical 10-20lb furnace? All I have is a little Lyman Mag20. ...

Thanks for your help. I'm using the Lyman 450 sizer.

I never moulded rifle bullets before. Just received a Hoch 322200 mould for fixed ammo (no taper, longer nose). It has 4 grooves(?). Sizing going O.K., sized all 5 bands Do I need to get lube in...

Can someone provide a photo of the handle setup on a Lyman Mag 20? Bought a used one and installed the handle but can't figure out how the spring is set up. Ohter than that I'm good to go.

Thanks for the input. I was curious, don't even have the molds yet. At someone recommendation, I bought some 1-25 from Rotometals for my .32-40, whcih a friend tested at 10.7 Brinnel (Lee tool),...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Can some one tell me or point me to the info which lists a general rule for mixing the proper lead hardness, e.g., 8-10 Brinnel of handguns 600-800fps, 10-12 for rifles 1000-1400fps? I want to start...
