I use Hornady .31 Cal round ball. Mic out around .315 and used over 3 grain of
Reddot. Nasty at 15 yards and would penetrate a bag of potting soil and flatten out on the cinder block supporting the...

Made my first attempt a reloading slugs. Used Fed Hulls from once fired law enforcement buckshot loads with WAA12 wads and Lee 1 oz slugs. 1st groups were with 45 grains of Bluedot at 25 yards...

Glad your safe. Had a close call while load testing for a 7.62x54r. Failed to charge one of the cases and fired a squib load. Fortunately I noticed the weak sound and ran a cleaning rod thru the...

I remember an old oak tree we used as a backstop. Some of the heavy rifle stuff
would cut right thru it. Didn't realize how bad until after Hurricanes Francis & Jean rolled thru. Most oaks blow...

Has anyone using the 1 ounce Lee mold had any issues using WW alloy with this mold?

Thanks

I don't reload these but I do pull the FMJ rounds out and replace them with Hornady 123 grain softpoints. I hunt with a Mak 90 and don't wish to waste precious
brass while hunting hogs. I use a Lee...

Hi folks

Got a new 870 rifled barrel in 12ga and was wanting to find out how regular foster slugs performed. Sabots a priced way out of my reach for regular shooting or hunting and the foster...

Well I tried my test loads last week. Two managed to hit the 3x4 ft cardboard.
The other three rounds, Who knows? I'm guessing maybe I sized the bullet too small. Also the bullet is a GC design....

Made more test boolits. Will use the right sizer this time. Wish my mosin wasn't so tight in the chamber. The slugs I messed up would be great for a fat 30 enfield or mosin.
...

GRRRRR Did I do something dumb. Went to do final sizing to.323 and used the wrong sizer. Sized them to .315. Time to make more test slugs. This time I used the correct sizer.

...

Here I go again. Re-attempting to patch 8MM boolits. First my base boolit is a .313 diameter Lee 185 for the 303 British. Bore at the lands on both my Yugo M48s run.3125 with a .323 -.324 groove....

Hi Vonfilm

Have not used any trailboss but have found 3 grains of red dot under a pinch of cotton and roundball to bee fairly accurate at 25 yds in 303 and 7.62x54 with velocity around 900...

I feel your pain jrayborn. I love mine as it shoots well with Cast or J-words. Front sight adjustment is a bit of a pain as the sight is offset to provide both windage and elevation adjustment. Make...

Looking for suggestions with paper patching for my M48. Had done some experiments but ended up minute of barn door. Bullet was a Lee 185 wrapped twice for .324 diameter with notebook paper with 45...

I've used a bit of everything reloading and have had no problems with Lee. I use mainly their case guage/ trimmer tools with the Zip trimmer and universal shell holder. I also use their Dies...

Went to a new range in Okeechobee yesterday and spent some quality time with a couple rifles. Shot some cast thru my FR8 in a attempt to get it sighted in. Also used my chrony to see what the cast...

Hi folks

Has anyone tried PSB buffer as a filler? Have bought some but haven't had time to try it out.

...

I had a 1916 carbine in 7.62. It was nice but I was afraid to shoot it so traded it off for a Russian 91/59. I kept my eyes open for a FR8 or a Isreali mauser. A Isreali is next on my list. Now to...

Coles Distributing had nos K98 barrels in 7.62 for around $99 apiece. This was
a option I had in mind but haven't found a candidate with a shot out barrel. Plus I just got a FR8 Spanish so this...

Hi Folks

Brought home a nice Spanish FR8 Saturday and tried it out today. 1st three shots
were cast flat nose bullets of approximately 178 grains. I got these from a local gunshop whose...

I would try not more than 6-7 grains of red dot with out gas checks. No filler would be needed. Just tip your barrel up before firing.

...

Hi 303 Guy

Did you fire lap with paper only or did you apply any sort of polishing compoumd?
I have a No#4 with a sharp bore with some darkness in the grooves I've not been able to eliminate....

I love my .30 cal rifles but I'd give my vote to a 12ga slug. Took a spike late last season.
Hit behind the right shoulder and exited behind the left leaving a golf ball size holeat 20 yards. He ran...

I would not do anything to the gun. I would do a chamber cast and compare to your loaded ammo. Deeper seating may help as long as the bullet base stays in the neck.

I have a IMR 2007 reloading pamphlet with 150 and 180 grain loads. They are as follows. These are Max loads for Jacketed rounds. A 10% reduction for the 180 load may give you a safe Max for your 200...
