Trigger guy, I've never bought 30-30 brass our range is littered with it especially just before bambi season. Shoot mine in a 94 but same thing I back off the size die until it just fits, no...

Very interesting, you realize guys the powder is lube and we must mess with it. What about adding some motor mica to the powder or mayby molly powder.?? Am I right in assuming you shouldn't use an...

The 358W is a natural for lead, I fit and chambered a barrel to a Savage 99. It adores the RCBS 200 and will keep them right around an inch. The velocity loss from a shorter barrel doesn't amount to...

Batts, I just sold seven boxes of perfect condition WW loaded rounds FMJ (prison rounds). If you have any old line police supply dealers in your area ask, many still have boxes tucked away on the...

Flier control is pretty much the whole ball of wax with cast. Its the journey that's interesting with cast boolets not when you arrive. Frank C.

Wmitty, I will have to experiment with the seating depth in the 94 winny I'am sure your 788 has much more leaway. seeing as I'll be single feeding length won't be as critical and that tapered nose...

Beagle, I hear you mate, I have the mold and a whole cigar box of the boolets. I'll just single load or one and one. My favorite lead slinger is a pre 64 94 32 special it has that used patina and a...

I'am planning to load the RCBS 180gr. SP boolet in my 30-30. Question about the tip its kinda pointed with a 1/8" flat at the tip would that be a little risky in the tubular mag. If so its no real...

Wives are always moving and relocating then when your cursing looking, they come in all smarty pants and go right for it. I don't throw anything out so I know I got it somewhere. Every so often go...
Have any of you found any good info on making cherrys and cutting your own molds on a milling machine, or is this stuff proprietary. Thanks Frank C.

Some folks badmouth Lee products but we owe them a lot. The name brand co's would go hog wild with prices if it wasen't for Lee, they hold the line. I honestly like Lee dies and would order them if...

Belikseme300, I polished the lee .224 sizing die with 1500 grit abrasive body paper. What a difference the polish made pushes through with half the effort. I miked the boolets and I didn't remove...

I'am having good luck with the Recluse lube but I have to heat it to use it, is that an indication of not enough thinner or does it always need a hot water bath before use. Thanks Frank C.

Thinking this over I probably should run them through the Lyman lube/sizer as I have a .224 die. Frank C.

I found a whole box of RCBS 22 cal. 55 gr. boolets I forgot I had they are pure lino (52gr). They fall from the mold at .2255 and I snapped on a Hornady check and through a Lee .224 push through....

Is there a sure fire way to recognize real pewter. Frank C.

Fastfire, I would try casting with a handful before I bought the whole lot. Theirs precious little copper on those balls I don't think it will hamper the casting properties and can likely be skimmed...

Manny, have you tried strike anywhere match heads, the whole head or make a paste from the head chemical.?? Frank C.

Suppose it can be done but its a lot of tedious work like casting air rifle pellets, and the caps are cheap. Might be a good skill to know though. Frank C.

The prices for used are crazy, Why not load down a 30-30 with a light lead slug. 30-30 brass is free all over the ground at our range. Or for that matter a 32 special (35 rem brass is too hard to...

I'am above all else a bird hunter, when I can't do that I mess with the silver streaks, I'am sure a lot of you go both ways (shooting of course). Question do plastic one piece wads have a lifespan if...

The only real danger would be if the check got turned sideways and remained in the barrel, an obstruction for the next shot. If you could easily check the barrel between shots no harm using them....
