I like to have about 80% full in my Pro-melt. Just a little room for scrap.
I've had the 357, 44 & 50. Very cool but for me disappointing on the accuracy side. Really tried on the 44 but at 25 yards my 6" S&W 29 would out shoot it all day.
If you want an attention getter...

Have you considered arsenal molds? I received a 358242 RN 125 Gr. four cavity a few weeks ago. Have not shot any but the Boolets look good. If it's six cavity or nothing can't help but my four is...
You are kidding ..............right? April fools in November.
You have the right attitude tazman. In most cases the best in any sport are the one's who put in the most time.
Top shooters shoot an insane amount of ammo.

Thanks for all the input folks! Might be getting in some hot water.

Thanks Murphy
The last time I did any real volume was 25 years ago. Had a DW 445 & S&W 29 that ran at least 40K rounds through. Tried to start 10 years ago but got sidelined. In a great place now....

Hello All,
Happily getting back to casting from a too long absence.
Question:
I have a Lyman sizer. It has Lyman Super Moly lube in it. I'm want to try Orange Magic (heated). How much effort...

Great, but it should be called “Cannons & Mortars”. Don’t leave out little brother.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I’ve loaded thousands of 38, 44, 45, 50AE & 22 Hornet with mine. Well-built solid press. I drop the powder manually, the auto setup I didn’t like. The primer feed can be a little finicky but overall...
Thanks for the photo aa
Revolvers and cast boolits just go together! Enjoy your Smith. 8-)

Not for me, I love my Pro-Melt. However, the most critical part of what we do is having fun! Looks like you’re on the right on track!
Just don’t tell me at the range after you have outshot me....

My experience you can have good accuracy but the lube can be a mess. But I use a soft lube. Hard lube may work fine.
The GC area will fill with lube.
I use a MEC 600 jr single stage press.
1/2 oz #9 shot, 15.8 gr H110, WAA410HS wad, WW209 Primer. I reload the WW HS Hulls. Use this for Skeet. Switch to #8 for Trap on occasion.

$29.99/K for CCI LR last week at Cabale's.
500 S&W.
Plinker through hand cannon. 275gr -700gr. 850fps-2000fps.
To me that’s versatility.

Anyone know where I can purchase a lead standard or standards. I would like to build a hardness tester but It would be nice to have some blanks with a known hardness to use as a reference.
Thanks...

First 21 years of my life in soda, the last 31 in Texas. When I’m at the range in January in jeans and a T-shirt I’ll think about ya.
I had an 8” for several years, put at least 5K rounds through it. Of all the hand guns that have in my possession I regret trading this one the most.
If you have the cash to spend I doubt you will...
