Ahhh, memories of the good old days(early 70s) in Costa Mesa when I used to buy 20 lb. kegs of powder at "Grant's for Guns"for $25 and a new .350 Remington M600 was $80. I'd go there with $1000 and...

I have 2 10" max barrels for contenders , one with a 2x and one with iron sights and 2 Saeco molds 185 and a 200 both gas checks, they will do everything you could ask for in that chambering and both...

The 7mm mauser military barrels were chambered for a long 175 gr bullet so the throat is cut long and usually accuracy is better with a cast bullet like the Lyman 287308. I think they're still...

APFTC, mine's just like yours. Bought it at a gunshow for $50 with 3 dies, .358,429 &452 but mainly use it in .358 when I cast a bunch in a 10 cav. H&G 158 SWC. I mounted mine on a square of 2x4 and...

Angus6, I've used Star loaders for 40 yrs., got 3 of them, with the Non-adjustable bars, haven't I suffered enough, please tell me where i can get an ADJUSTABLE one. Thanks, H10

Went to a yard sale recently, saw a large cardboard box, looked in and found a like new 550, 3 sets of RCBS dies and 2 lbs. of Unique. I said how much? He said $125, I said, would you take a $100, he...

In 1977 I took a tour of RCBS factory with Bill Jordan(famous border patrolman, author, trickshooter, etc) soon as we got to the press dept. he tried to pin them down on the spent primer issue, they...

A friend of mine was an engineer for Chevron and gave me a gallon of the lube they sell to RCBS about 35 yrs. ago and I'm down to about 4 or 5 oz. of it. For the Carbine I take a big bucket or box...

The M die is a bell die. If your die set came with a bell die,as all straight wall case dies do, you don't need an M die unless the size of the M die is more to your liking. With Lyman dies, the...

I have more than 150 moulds and maybe half that many handles. It would be nice to have handles on all of them but I have handles on the ones I use the most. Once in awhile I have to change one. H10

I have 10" and a 21" K-Hornet Contender barrels and shoot both 225438 and 225415 bullets using 680 powder. Both bullets shoot well in either barrel. I use gas checks on both. H10

I see the same thing on the SASS forum as here, folks trying to shoot fat bullets
.380+ and having problems. I have four 38-55s, a Win 1894 from 1897 another from 1972, a Browing/Miroku Hi Wall and...

I started casting about 1941, back then cigarette packs had a lead sheet to keep the tabacco fresh. We'd search the garbage and gutters for discarded packs to get the lead, back then no one had ever...

You might also try the North Carolina Attorney General. I ordered a barrel from a guy in New Jersey and after over a year of stalling ,I contacted the N.J. attorney General and they investagated and...

Sept is a good month for casting, I've casts 3 times this mo. already and need to cast some more. I just cast 1 hr. at a time for 4 or 500 bullets depending on the molds I'm using. I cast most of...

I have both the Octogon and the round barrel 45/410 and the .44 Hotshot. The hotshot gives the best shot patterns but the 45/410 does OK with shot and better with cast & .444 Marlin casesi n the 45....

If your pistol is throated properly, it'll feed the 423 or the 424 as reliably as anything. For yrs. I shot the 260 gr 424 in 1911s shooting bowling pins in competition, never had any problems with...

i cast fast so cast at 800 degrees from a RCBS 20 lb. bottom pour. Last week as i was casting I checked it with my thermometer and it was dead on 800 degrees.
I was surprised, I had no idea it was...

I have 3 .38 S&Ws. For what they're used for .358 bullets work fine and .38 special dies work fine with the .38 S&W cases. Cowboy action shooters who use these in their "pocket pistol matches...

Many yrs. ago Lyman made lead noses for many of their rifle bullets. I still have one for a 311284 bullet and have some 30/06 loaded and ready to go but you have to put those little noses into a very...

Thanks, guys, how do I contact Buckshot?

I need a Lyman or RCBS size die in .318 or .319 . Anyone have one they'd part with.
Thanks, Hank10

First saw a M die in the early 60s and within a few yrs. I had one for every set of dies that I have (around 150) I rarely load without them, jacketed or cast. For cast bullets in 30 cal. I use the...

I have a 85 lb. electric pot which handles most large pieces i get but when i do get a too large piece, I use a Oxy/acetylene torch. Even with a propane torch you can melt off pieces until it fits in...

It all boils down to "if you can afford them" if you can get them. I wish I had handles for all mine and I do for most of the ones i use the most. I probably have 75 or so sets of handles but I...
