Looks like some folks have been waiting several years for this product. Is there an estimated time of beginning production? Forgive me for sounding impatient I am merely new to this form of purchase.

Interested in 4cav gas check HP with longest pins (deepest cavities) available. Please let me know of the GB is still on.

Is it part of the theory that slower than normal twist should reduce leading? I see some folks are experimenting with a normal alloy and others are using straight lino. What about zinc?

Hi All,
I have the 230gn TL309 mold from Lee and would like to cast some for the M1 Garand.
Now I know most of you just spit coffee all over the keyboard, but hear me out.

Anyone having trouble with the Craftsman guns from Amazon showing up with cracked handgrips? I'm on my second one that showed up boogered.

Wow, ww! Looks like a cup point rather than a hollow point!
What's your alloy/planned velocity for that boolit? Is it headed towards .44 Magnum?
Mr. Bullshop, the Mountain Molds designer sounds intriguing. Can you provide a link?
Hello All,
I've got a couple barrels to choose from in running through with my new .30 Gibbs reamer. I believe they are all 1 in 10" twist barrels.
Given the elevated pressures/velocities to...

Hi pdawg et all, thanks for all your advice.
When you say "100% load density," do you mean "choose a powder that fills the case?"
If so, I think I'm tracking with you. Rel17 and Alliant...
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
Alliant lists Blue Dot load data for the following cartridges. Use your judgement, weighed against your reloading experience, to re-purposing your "mystery powder" to any of these loads.

Anyone ever patch for 7.62x54R? Any pitfalls in getting a 150-grain, air-cooled COWW projectile up to the standard 2700 to 2800 FPS using, say, IMR 4895?
Planning on sizing to .309, then patching...

Measure the mass of the powder that comes out of each shell. Look up a Blue Dot 24ga recipe. If the numbers are within ~2% of each other, use 5-10 grains of this "green powder" under some cornmeal...

My other question involves feeding the HF PC gun with air--manual states 3.5 CFM at 30 PSIg is max air consumption and my compressor is little.

Anyone gotten sub-3-moa accuracy from these guys?
Needless to say, Santa Claus has been asked for the HF PC kit!

Agreed re: pistol cartridges not making a lot of difference--powder cost is minimal.

Forum: Cast Boolits
Agreed, Cherokee. It's a big task. But, if you'll examine the spreadsheet I posted above, you'll notice the least charge weight doesn't always equal the least cost due to varying costs of materials.

Nevermind; made one myself.

Is there a spreadsheet floating around out there to calculate the cents-per-loaded-round based on which powder is picked?

Yeah, but what's the fun in taking it for a $200 trip to a gunsmith when it's a $50 shotgun? :-)
Might be time to hang it on the wall.

Agree with looking for where the wear has occured. If the sole lug is the bolt handle and it shows setback, you should build up that point to move the bolt body forward.

I'm trying to achieve these results with 55 gr. projectiles. I have some Nosler Varmaggedons, but the folks over at Nosler have only pushed them to 3800 FPS (which is typical .243 Win performance)....

I want to push some .243 projectiles FAST (as in 4300+ FPS, in my 1-in-10 twist barrel, that's 309,600 RPM!)

That looks like an excellent bullet.
Are you shooting into the 2x4's end-grain? Or are you shooting at the middle of the ~4" tall, 2-foot-or-so-long board?
