Did you ever work up a good load with the WC844? Would you by chance be using the 225-61 "Elvis" mold?


I just recently purchased the 225-61 "Elvis" mold and cast up some last night. I have more...

Have you been able to load up any of those rounds yet? I have also been thinking about ordering that same Arsenal mold.

I have the harbor freight sprayer. It takes longer to set up the bullets to spray. There is always some side not coated. Overspray goes all over the place.


I use a vibratory case cleaner to...

I just checked them with the Saeco hardness tester and they are pretty soft. It's interesting how they are testing around 6bhn and the ones I powder coated are testing around 13bhn.


im using 1...

That's what I was thinking but I'm loading for 4 different pistols. I guess I'll have to find the one with the tightest chamber and load for that one.

I know the OAL in the Lyman book will work...

I kno there are other mentions of this on the forum but I have a question for those of you that load this bullet.

Most of the threads I've seen about this mold talk about how the users are getting...

I agree, I may be putting the cart before the horse. I have been loading 110gn, 147gn and 150gn in my 300AAC for a while and I REALLY like the 110Gn Hornady V-Max. I don't currently have a...

Yes, same loads in both guns. I would love to find some aa1680 but no luck so far. I found 5477 and bought 3 lbs but it wasn't the substitute I hoped it would be.

The rounds loaded with Unique...

Well I finally found some time to try a few test loads using the LEE 230gr mold and I need some help refining them.

First some info on the guns im using.(I don't have a suppressor yet but hope to...

Its been a little over a year since the last post on this. Has anyone come up with some good data on this bullet in a 300AAC?

I have cast some, powder coated and sized to .308. Im sure I should...

I finally had the time to try some of the Data from this thread to load up my 405gr rounds.

I wish I could be more helpful with my results but I don't have a Chrono yet and my 2 3/4" barrel 460 is...

Well my setup is working ok for now but I plan on adding 1 or 2 more fans or picking up a more powerful blower.

Thanks for all of the ideas.


I vented the pipe out the side because this bathroom fan was set up that way and im not sure the outlet on this cheap model can be moved.
I experimented a little...

I think a better fan will be in my future but I am hoping this will work for now. That is the cheapest fan that home depot sells.

Now that the pipe is installed, upgrading the fan will be the...

I am new this year to casting and so far I have been doing it in my garage doorway with a large fan behind me blowing the fumes out the door.

It is now too cold outside to leave the door in my...

One question, I ordered "a few" from Precision Arms in their 2nd project. I ordered the black ones like yours. In some of your pictures the black finish looks beat up. Is that just oil or does the...

Thanks for the replies. Like I said, I have already tried it and it took no more force than sizing a hard cast .458 down to .452

Mine did not "spring" out to .453 after sizing, they stayed .452
...

I'm not sure if this is in the right place but I was wondering if it will destroy my sizing die if I resize some Hornady factory jacketed bullets? I tried it on 2 of them and it worked without too...

I NEVER call a company for replacement parts.

I send them a polite email explaining the issue and the parts I need. Thank them for their time.

ALWAYS include my full name, address and phone...

I just posted about a Pro-Melt that I bought used with a missing handle. One email and RCBS sent me one FREE!

I recently bought a complete reloading setup from the son and grand daughter of the guy that owned it. I think she said he passed in 1996.

In the lot of stuff was a small Lee pot, a RCBS Pro Melt...

Do you have any Idea what the hardness is on the lead you are using?

I know some people don't put much stock in testing the hardness but I'm just getting started so I bought a tester.
The hardest...

Come on, pointless is the theme here. Remember, my 460 has a 2-3/4 in barrel.
I just want to make them just to say I did and for a little fun.

Now that im thinking about this again, I think I...

I haven't really thought about this load in a long time. I have 6-8 of them loaded up that I am too chicken/smart to shoot (for now).
I thought about swapping the round ball for a wad cutter, but...
