I cast for my 30-30, dropping boolits that need a gas check. I size mine to crimp on the gas check before coating, then again after. The checks are already a tight fit, and impossible to pop on if I...

I bought a Wilson spring kit from Midway when I ordered my GP100 a few months ago. I used the 10 pound springs for both the hammer and trigger return. Much nicer DA trigger pull than with the stock...

AutoComp is my favorite for 9mm, 40s&w, and 45acp. For 9mm, I'm shooting 115gn cast from Blue Bullets. I use 4.2gn for my Springfield XDm, but that's just what works for me. I stocked up on a few of...

My mom used software online for her will. Works fine, but I would recommend looking into registering the will once it's done. After mom passed, my sister was the executor for the estate. She had to...

I don't own one, but shot one at the range last summer. Exchanged 45's with the guy shooting next to me for a little while, he wanted to see how my Kimber felt in comparison to his new SR1911....

Bullet sizing is really important to get decent accuracy. For my Marlin 30-30, I shoot 168gn cast boolits sized to 0.311, with gas check and powder coated. Marlin bores tend to be larger than 0.308...

I've had 5744 and 4227 recommended as close substitutes for the SR4759 that was discontinued. Try the 4227 in place of the 5744, been working fine thus far with my 45-70 loads. Shiloh is right, it...

I have nearly the same NOE mold, just not tumble lube style. I have cast and shot both straight WW and 50/50 blend of WW and lead. Both have worked fine. Mine are gas checked and powder coated, then...

Is it one of the Prot-X-Bore molds that held a zinc washer? Pop in a washer, close the mold, then cast the bullet. Supposed to act like a bore scraper, clean out the lead. Read about them before, but...

My procedure is similar to what DerekP listed.
Ziplok bowl with screw-on lid.
Powder and black airsoft bb's from Smoke4320.
Swirl and shake the bowl with cast boolits for about 2 minutes. ...

Finally got out to the range today. Had a chance to try some 400gn boolits over IMR4227. The 26gn loads had a 4" spread at 100 yards, and about the same for 27gn. With 28gn, the spread narrowed to...

They must have switched over to copper for the 0.010" checks. I bought a couple thousand in aluminium two years ago. They work great for me.

Doc, you may just need to use the thinner gauge checks. Vulcan sells them in 0.010". I use them for the 165gn RD boolits from my NOE mold. They work great, the other thicker checks from Vulcan just...

The Crossbreed holsters are nice. I went with their smaller MiniTuck version for my Springfield XDs. Carried on the right hip (3 o'clock) it's comfortable for out running around or sitting in the...

Added a photo to the sales thread for Signal Blue, Yellow Brown, and Yellow Green. You're free to use it any way you need.

All that non-stick coating is going to bubble off when you pour in the hot lead. The ingots will look cratered when you pop them out but will be fine.

H-322, H-335, and the CFE223 are all pretty great.

I have the same NOE mold and really like the boolits I get from it. Using Vulcan aluminium gas checks and powder coating, then sized to 0.311". I load them over Alliant 2400 to a velocity of 1650...

OS OK posted this on another thread about IMR 4227 powder. Looks like it came out of an issue of Handloader. There's a pet load for 45-70 listed with a 400 gn cast boolit I plan to try out, if I find...

Thank you to OS OK for posting the pics from the article. I had just asked about replacement powders for SR4759 the other day, and 4227 was one I was now considering. The article lists a load for the...

Found that dipper kit with the slide rule included online, going to order the set soon. The RL 7 is listed for 45-70 use, but Alliant only lists three loads for 300 and 350 gn bullets. I like Alliant...

Do you have a pic or link to the "slide rule" you are referring to? Might be a good tool, just not sure what I'm supposed to look for. Thanks :-)

Looking at the Hodgdon burn rate chart, 5744 and 4227 sit just either side of the 4759. I'm guessing that either may work for me, but thought I'd make use of the knowledge base here on the forum to...

I've picked up two Remington marlins the past couple years. The 336 microgroove came home first, almost 3 years ago. Decent looking rifle, but the internals were really rough. Would cycle fine, but...

On my last two pounds of SR4759, which I've been using to launch 400 gn boolits out of my 45-70. 28 gns almost fills the case under the boolit and gets me 1500 fps. Works great, but eventually it'll...
