Wondering what bullet people are using for 38-55 long range cowboy shooting? I am thinking of a 300+ gr RN bullet but haven't found molds. I do cast 38-55 flat nose hunting bullets but I'm new to LR...

I use bamboo BBQ skewers to clean off the die when lube builds up. Works slick won't scratch and a lifetime supply is about a $buck.
If the boolit is cast slightly undersize the lube might pass...

Rule of thumb is that the better accuracy comes from the largest cast bullet you can chamber cleanly. A larger diameter bullet enters the rifling straighter and better centred than a smaller diameter...

Heavy freezer bags. Fold the top down 3-4 times and staple it.

None of my MP molds need an allen key to assemble pins. Is this something new?

Did some reading on different forums about this powder.I guess j know why its being offered at the low price. Thanks for your replies

Found a good deal on a quantity of Jim Shockey Gold FFG and FFFG. Is it suitable for BPCR use or should I pass on it?
I would agree with that in a regular lubed bullet, but I've got past 2000fps using PC PB ww-alloy bullets every time I tried it - which is only twice but there it is.
I don't think there is a better mold maker in existence. Tom definitely knows a thing or two about building molds and providing customer service.
I've seen a gap on Lee 6c twice. On one an alignment pin had shifted. The other one was a warped block.

Please put me on the list for 4 pieces. This is dependant on actual final cost when they are known if it gets that far.
I don't care about the labelling, would prefer none but "CB" if one is...

Is your Lee Mold a single cavity? They cool much faster than multi cavity molds.
35 seconds is correct, for big bullets I've always needed to run high temps to get good fill-out and adjusted the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I think you have something there, the cavity wall between the end of the nose and the outside of the mold is very thin.
I cleaned the mold again and it was venting better today, also raised...

Good points, mirror my experience when I started casting 535 postell and 500 gr WFN 45-70 bullets. I'm getting good fill with sharp edges on the grooves in the 700gr bullets. The swirl marks don't...

Good point and makes sense. I didn't consider that.

Ladling. Accurate mold 3-cav. Cleaned well - scrubbed in boiling water and dish soap, rinsed in clean boiling water, and preheated well. I am fairly experienced, I cast about 50,000 bullets a year...
Forum: Cast Boolits
yes for 500gr 45-70. Softer for the MH and Postell bullets.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I cast quite a lot of 500gr and 535gr for 45-70, and some .600" 530gr for Martinin Henry and haven't seen this issue before. The sprue is taking about 35 seconds to cool sufficiently with a fan which...

I have used Mihec's HB wadcutter mold in 44 and 45 calibers for the same purpose, which is to get a better fit on some oversized bores. I don';t shoot these old guns enough to want to build a custom...

I'm just started casting 710gr WFN for 500 S&W. I'm getting some small voids in the nose section and I think it's from pouring too slowly. The holes in the sprue cutter limit the speed I can pour.

My mistake, sorry. I assumed from your private message it was Miha advising against the 6 cavity and I value his opinion.
If we are willing to make recommendations based on 45 2.1's opinion then...
