Thanks for all the feedback, I just returned them and got a couple of cases of Rio Benneke type slugs that were on sale, they are grouping well at 25, 35, and 45 yards and I'm happy with them for...

Yes, what I ordered doesn't seem to be what was delivered......but then with the way things are these days I wouldn't have really cared if they was any accuracy at all. I edited my post above to add...

I cast and reload for pistol and a little for rifle, but not so much for shotguns so am looking for insight and advice. Usually use Winchester Ranger low recoil slug, but since I was running low...

Not sure who the manufactures is, I picked up 1K from American Reloading for a good price, I think they were pulled though they don't show any marks....they were listed as semi JHP....see pic. When...

Hi guys.....Am putting together some +P 38 Special loads with some 158 gr JHP using BE86. Alliant says the max is 5.7 gr of BE86 and list a minimum OAL of 1.5 inches, see here: ...

That did it guys, thanks! I upped the temp on the PID to 780 and pre-heated the mold on a hot plate set on 4 and only cast with one mold, the 45 only, and cast fast......and everything is looking...

Ahhhh, that might do the trick......thanks....but will look at the NOE ones too........

Hi guys: I've got a duplicate load of the Chicago or FBI load using a 158 g LSWCHP and HS-6 and I'm loving it but want to cut cost even further on this load by casting my own instead of the the...

lots of good info guys, thanks and I'll try again this weekend..........

I've been preheating them on a hot plate but am not sure of the exactly temp, and I've been putting them both on the hotplate (the MP359 and 452-374 and the MP359 one cast fine).....the alloy is in a...

I picked up a brass 4 cav MP mold in 9mm, it's a MP359-125FB_B_4C_nlg.....am very happy with it and it drops pretty bullets. Since I had such a good experience with I ordered a MP 452-374 hollow...

Solved.......Warped sprue plate seems to be what the problem is, see pic below. I swapped it with one from another 45 TC mold I don't use very often and it's back in business, just did another...

So I'm low on 40SW reloads so start casting some last night, I'm using a Lee bottom pour pot with a PID set at 750, using COWW. Everything is going along fine, I've done about 500 or so and topped...

Ditto on Hatche's PIDs, I emailed him on a Fri I think it was, he didn't have any in stock but had enough parts to build one more and did it over the weekend. He shipped it out on Mon, I got it by...

Based on advice I received here last month I picked up a MP359-125FB_B_4C_nlg ...........am very happy with it. Would now also like one in 45 HP, after researching a bit these two seem to come up...

Thanks for all the advice everyone.....just a couple more questions......on the NOE molds, what is the "drill for probe" option? ...........and if I went with one that was designed to take a gas...

Can someone help me out, am a little confused. I want a brass mold that's at least 4 cavity, hollow point, 125 to 135 or so grains, drops at 359 so I can use for 9mm or 38/357, lube groove (so I can...

Thanks for the info Kirk, I tried 5.3 gr with a 180 gr commercial cast with traditional lube (shot out of a 4" MP40) and also 5.5 gr with a 180 gr Lee cast with some Eastwood powder coat (shot out of...

I hate to admit it but I haven't been shooting very much cast the last 5 years or so. Since then I've migrated from Unique to BE-86. I ran across a couple of big boxes of some cast .401 at 180 gr...

I've mainly been an Ed's Red user but want to switch to something non-toxic and bio-degadeable. I've got a lot of Mil-surps as well as moden ARs, AK, and pistols and wanted to switch to Ballistol...

Ditto here, just got this mold and want to use for a 30-30.....but would like a plinking load using Unique or 2400 where I don't have to use a GC. I get the 10 g Unique fills that bill, but does the...

Hi guys....things have been rough at work and I haven't done much reloading in the past couple of years but have been able to start back in over the last couple of months. I'm doing mostly .38, .45,...

The used 5906 is one of the best deals going these days IMHO, they are stainless and built like a tank, it will outlive your great grand kids, a little heavy for concealed carry though......a really...

Got it....I know what the Carnuba would be used for but how/what would you use the stearic acid for?

Hmmm....figured this would be the best place to ask this question. I'm out of Ed' Red and am ordering some lanolin from one of those soap supply places for a new batch.....anything else I should...
