I sort of went away for a few weeks, between all of the chaos of school getting out, and then spending my Christmas break working on the clutch on one of my tractors and with family, I haven't really...

I can't speak about the italian lever actions, but my 20" Rossi 92 in 45 Colt has been a great gun, and tough to boot, it has been beat all to pieces in accidents and as a saddle gun and still...

I have a Rossi 92 in 45 colt with the 20" round barrel, I bought it somewhere around 2008-2010 at Gander Mountain, they had it on clearance plus a discounted price because it had a ding in the wood....

Hi everyone, I've been scarce on the forum for a couple of years, I've been spending time on some of my other hobbies and working an ungodly amount of hours since I started teaching high school...

I'm not sure what the number on either of the moulds are, I'll check when I get off work for the weekend.
The boolits aren't really hard, but they aren't too soft either, I don't know the exact...

Well, I did slug it a little while back, it was between .355 and .356. It shoots very well with the lyman 120 grn truncated cone, and with some sigmon 125 grn roundnoses that were bought a long time...

I've been casting the lyman 90 grn boolits for a beretta 92fs, and I realize these are really intended more for a 380, but I enjoy using them in the 9mm. I can load them and get them to feed and...

.223 remington, don't much enjoy shooting it, and I don't particularly like loading for it. Don't dislike it either, I just really don't have much use for it. I'd rather have a 22 hornet

I cast over a coleman stove, and when I'm using lyman 6 cavities, or any other mold for that matter I just set the mold on the stove beside of the pot, the burner heats it up and I have no problems.

I figured it might have had a little something to do with the powder being a ball powder, I know they tend to be a little harder to ignite. I only tried three, because they made such a mess, if I...

I don't know enough about it for my thoughts to count for much jdgabbard, but it would look to me like the magnum primers would be able to handle the pressure ok if it wasn't extremely high. Wouldn't...

I've thought of getting the one for the 45, maybe I'll have to give it a try if I can find a mold that isn't backordered

I never knew that Zamak was a brand, I just remember seeing the name in the article. I haven't opened that book since last year, grandaddy gave it to me, it was his first reloading manual, I read it...

I use an axe for a bunch of old lead conduit that I have outside the building, it's in like 4 ft pieces. Lay them on a good piece of firewood for a chopping block (like about as big in diameter as a...

I've never tried them with cast loads, but I tried 20 rds of them in 8MM Mauser in my 1903 Turkish mauser once, and they wouldn't ignite the powder. The load was 42 grns of BL-C(2) I think, with a...

I like casting outside, but then again I don't have a place to cast inside, but when it does rain me out I just go into the edge of one of the open front sheds and cast, the wind carries the fumes...

I've decapped one or two at a time, very gently, while they were live, but I don't think I'd want more than one or two piled up when I'm doing it. lol

I can't speak for the Lee TC molds, but I have a lyman 120 grain 9mm TC mold, and it gives great results for me in a Beretta 92FS sized .356 and loaded about halfway between the starting and max...

I usually cast around the garage, barn, and smokehouse/reloading building, so there are plenty of oilcans around, I just squirt a little bit of motor oil in out of the can I use to lube the...

I believe I need to go back to the two tire stores, one gives me WW sometimes, and the other one that I buy from, and see what they have.

I have the old NRA Illustrated Reloading Manual from the 60's, and it has an article on casting "Zamak" bullets, which is just another name for Zinc Die Castings, AKA pot metal. I'll have to look it...

Once in a while I accidentally melt some zinc WW in the pot, generally when I'm preoccupied and not paying as much attention to what I'm adding as I should, but if I do contaminate it and have fill...

I found getting my mould a little hotter as well as keeping the melt hot, to the point that they are frosting slightly to really help fill the mould out. Worked for me anyway.

I usually have really good luck with Midway, they always ship my orders faster than Grafs or Buffalo Arms, and I've never ordered from Midsouth but once, so I can't compare to them. Generally if I...

I haven't bought any WW since about september, but I was paying about $8.00 per box, weighing about 50lbs. I was pretty happy about that, that'll cast a lot of boolits. I haven't been to the...
