I use the same & really like them. Light enough that I hardly notice them, but they do make a difference with heavy loads for me.

PM sent Capn'

My 29-3 has the same gap & I know it's never been in the shop.

Kathie, praying the best for you...

The range I shoot at is made up of sand oits. I plan to take some copier paper boxes & set them end to end then fill them with sand. I'll shoot into targets on the end & see if it stops ok. I'll...

Lee production pot

Thanks for the input guys.
Pretty wide range of temps here. 650-820.
My mold is a LEE double cavity.

I've never had a casting thermometer before but intend to start playing with the new one from RCBS that I have.
Jusr curious, when casting large boolits (400gr) from WW alloy what temp do you guys...

Kathie, just out of curiosity do you have a BHN on the WW?

I've only used it a few times as I'm just getting into casting, but I'll echo what the others said about making sure you use just a minimal amount. I also cut mine with just a touch of mineral...

Man, lots of great ideas.
Thanks guys.
For simplicity & logic sake this looks like a winner!

For those of you that water drop your bullets while casting, how do you keep them from getting banged up by each other?
I'm just getting started, but I loose at least 10% to damaged bullets.
How...

I like them both.
love my BH 41 mah with 4.5" barrel & heavy bullets for a belt gun when I hiking & bow hunting. Small & light, forget it's there.
I like DAs for hunting handguns. Just prefer the...

I type too slow:mrgreen:

You missed a couple
J frame = little like 5 shot 38 (det special, mod 36 etc)
K Frame is standard 6 shot like 38 (mod 10 etc)
L frame, slightly larger, most common 6 shot 357 & lately I believe...

Well I'll start by saying that most folks here have vastly more experience than I do, BUT, I have to say that so far Lil Gun has been the clear performer in my limited testing of 400gr Lee bullets in...

Good to see you brother!!!!:bigsmyl2:
When you coming home?
Keep your head down & I'm still praying!

Here's another place I waste time just in case you miss me:razz:...

Well I have to admit I was a skeptic. It seemed too good to be true.
BUT, my experience so far is overiding that skeptisism. I'm liking my Xlox!

It's definetly a big shove... BUT, we have LOTS of brown bear in this country, so it's a comforting shove:-P

The jacketed bullet loads SHOULD be safe with cast. Generally cast produce slightly lower pressures than jacketed in the same weight.
In my 1895M 50gr of H-322 behind a 420 hard cast bullet with...

Follow the instructions exactly that come with the Lee stuff & it will work fine. I just got back into casting after many years away (and oly casting round balls in the past). I'm xasting 4oogr...

Here's Hodgon's online data source. Try it.

I like H-322 in mine.

OK, went & did a little (very little) testing today.
Temp was 25*, no wind. I was kneeling on both knees & using a sandbag rest under the frame. Pretty secure, but hands were a bit chilly. I didn't...

Well I just did my 1st batch, & I let them lay down. Doesn't look like there was any puddleing to speak of.

Ok, the only thing I cast in the past was roundballs, so the whole lube thing is new to me (other than spit patching:razz:).
Today I took some of my new 400gr cast boolits for my 480 & tumble lubed...
