This is most likely my problem. since they are all touching it leaves little voids when I break them apart.

Too much crimp was the culprit. I am crimping the **** out of these shells.

I have cast several thousand 9mm bullets. I then powder coated them and put them through my sizing die (Lee). Some of the powder coating is chipping or cracking.
Should I be sizing these then...

Thanks for the replies guys.
I had my best results when the lead was right at the top of the bolts. Any higher than that and it seemed like the lead cooled too much to go through the drippers. ...

First I would like to say that I am using 2.5 pound ingots and it doesn't appear that these machines...

I have been putting a pretty good crimp on the front of the cast. I guess I never took this into account. I will try reloading a few rounds and just taking the taper out and see what kind of primer...

Should I be crimping these bullets at all? Or just run the cast bullets through the sizer and call it good?

I have reloaded a lot of 9mm shells through my Lee Load Master Press. I reloaded 20 and was very happy with them. I used longshot powder and Remington 1-1/2 small pistol primers. Very happy with the...

I melted all this lead from range bullets. Can you believe the two local recycling plants turned down the copper jackets. 250# worth at least.

Its a GTR 35 short shaft mud motor without a motor on it because I sunk it in the ocean last year and the motor is being re-built
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Actually the surface temperature of the lead only got to about 675 degrees. I kept her backed down pretty good. I'm 99.9% sure that you could not melt aluminum with it.

There is a door in it. I just prop it open with a piece of wood. Works better than anything I figure.
