Are these premade? or is it a custom purchase? I've got a couple over BB moulds that I'd use more if I had one. Thanks
I've used the mold a few times. I made a mountain of good boolits. I just don't care for the BB design in my Lyman 45 sizer, so I want to part with it. I just wanted to gather a little info so that I...
Mystery solved. I spoke with a Saeco rep that shed some light on the box. The box is for one of the 44cal molds. So, the box and mold are not a correct combination. Oh well, still a neat thing to...
The mold is a 457. However, it is the box that I'm trying to identify. I'd like to know if the box is correct for the mold.
I'll update with pics when I get a chance. I've got a 4 cavity Saeco 457 4cav mould, complete with Saeco handles in a Saeco box.
The only number designation on the mould is 457. It cast a 225gr RN...
Somenone pointed out that the pros/cons of aluminum can depend on the alloy. Is there a significant difference between the alloys used by Lee and custom makers like NOE?
Ok, you guys convinced me. I'll just eat the lead cost and go with the 255gr Keith.
I'm looking at different mold designs for my GP100. I'm going with a custom mold because my revolver has large throats and I need something close to .432.
I don't shoot heavy loads. I'll likely...
It seems like I recall someone making these a while back. Are they still being made/sold? Thanks
excellent. I'm ordering the .434x.430 and the .433x.429. They are cheap enough, and I can find a happy medium somewhere between those two. Thanks.
Okay, so if I'm following you correctly, the first number is the amount of flare for the case mouth (or the size of the step) and the second number is the plug size that expands the brass. Is this...
Hello folks, I'm interested in purchasing an expander plug from NOE. I'm wanting to try loading .431 and .432 boolits for my 44spl, which has generous throats. I'm using RCBS and Lee dies at the...
Hello folks,
I rented an 11deg forcing cone cutter to cut 3 of my 44 revolvers. I cut the forcing cone of 2 44 revolvers to 11 degrees. However, when I got to my Super Redhawk, it appeard to...

I have a 6cav Lee .454 round ball mould that I purchased from Track of the Wolf. I've never cast round balls before, but I decided to give it a try since I had a small stash of pure lead.
If I...

Glockfan, you are right. This topic would have led to WW3 in certain other forums. In those forums, folks hang their pride on the brand names that sit on their bench. This is why I chose to ask here....

Hands down, it just looks like Dillon is the way to go. Thanks everyone. I'm glad this didn't turn into a "chevy vs. ford" type thread.
I'm no longer concerned about not having a fifth hole for an...

SAW, you hit all my points. Thank you
Yes, round count is a fairly low requirement at the moment. It is the time at the press that I am wishing to minimize. However, I do hope to compete once the...

The comments about the filth of primers and possible left over media in the Dillon does sound problematic. It sounds like keeping my single stage for the size/prime option will be a clean decision :)
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thanks folks. Of the Dillon users, it doesn't appear anyone has expressed any problems with not having the 5th hole. I take it to mean that Dillons powder/expand operation is plenty adequate for our...

Round count is not my motivation, time at the press is. As family responsibilities increase, I just simply can not set aside several hours to make 200rnds of ammo anymore. This is now starting to...

Rcmaveric, thank you.
I purchased the spring from Lowes. You can find it in the hardware/fastener isle. I did have to modify the hooks on the spring by cutting and bending them to fit. The hooks...

I was fortunate enough to get a new tube, a proper wrench, wood handle and a proper cap for the lube cylinder.
All the parts that were originally blued were reblued at home with a Rust Blueing...
