Ah! So your saying maybe my crimp wasnt enough for my bell right? Seems like everyone has gone to the taper crimp for autos. Least what I've read and listened to.

What one you have? Lee ought to...

I'd be happy to take 1 and 2 off your hands for 100.00 dollars.

I think I have the same mould your talking about I have cast approx 5000 out of it so far, I absolutely love it. My only concern is making more time to enjoy this casting life! Accuracy is awesome...

I too am using the wax rings with great success. But same problem as well. Please let us know what route you go... bees wax and crayons have my interest the most.

Lol I know the feeling! I have yet to meet anyone in my town that casts, but there's got to be a few since most the tire shops already have ww spoken for !

I too am in the shorter of the two groups. Turning 30 in Sept. Started loading with grandpa around my 12th birthday. Tried casting when I was 22, then waited till this winter to really figure it out,...

Can you guys talk me out of trying to salvage 1k Remington 9.5 magnum primers as well as 2k cci br2 benchrest large rifle primers? Long story short... my father inlaw had me clean out his shop the...

Well I had 9 gr of herco in my test loads, fired fine, did notice a small difference in recoil compared to my regular 10 gr with 240 cast... I'm hoping it was just me but they didn't seem as accurate...

Thanks wcp4570! I'll have to find some unique the next time I'm in our sporting goods store.

Haha thank you! And I hope so! I'm using a lighter charge of herco to see how my leading is. I actually had a hard time finding data for this bullet. Any one want to share? Lol

Found this old ideal 429 421 in a bunch of stuff that my father in law abandoned. Cleaned it up a tiny bit and just couldn't wait to cast some bullets! Took a while for it to warm up, but when it...

Awesome! Thanks bigmaico! Have to get some more loaded up tonight!

Awesome thanks everyone! I'm going with the pour in the case idea.

I was thinking I need to make a slug to slug my barrel of my pistol. I have some stick on ww and thought I had read that they were pure lead but wanted to make sure before I tried to drive one. Also...

I did shoot this bullet and some others today out of the model 19. They all did great, dirty.... yes, but, no leading! 30 rounds, 2 passes with copper brush, clean as a whistle! Thanks everyone!

Alright guys, thank you for your posts! It means a lot!

I feel slightly stupid. Lol that bound book is indeed a Lyman. I had thought for the last 8 years that it was a black powder loading book....

Here are my books, usually go to Speers book first but I thumb through them all eventually before I decide on a load.

I believe the mold that cast these bullets is a Lyman, they are .358 and weigh 120 gr. I would like to shoot them in 38 spec and 357 magnum. Preferably using Alliant herco powder.
