Thanks for the help guys.

Definitely not looking to do any speed demon work with these so if the accuracy window is 1500-1750fps, that's fine.

Not really seeing a consensus on mold material....

More info as requested.

Primary use will be in a .223 bolt gun. May see some use in a Ruger #1 .220 Swift. Plan to keep velocity around 2000fps but might slow some down to .22lr speeds (~1200fps)....

I am about to purchase a .22 cal mold and have decided to give the RCBS 55 SP design a try. RCBS is my favorite commercial brand and NOE does a fabulous job as well.

I have never cast 22 cal...

Will turn 35 at the end of this month...started about 7 or 8 years ago with a Lee 2 cav, Lee bottom pour 10lb pot, LLA lube and a push-through sizer. It has been downhill ever since then. :-P

2400 with a light bullet should get you there. Lots of flash and a good bark. Not sure if it's any louder than other magnum loads.

Had a little bit of luck yesterday. Stopped by a local indoor range that has changed hands multiple times in the last few years. Figured I'd drop in and see if they had anything of interest.

To my...

I was born in 1982....but I have one of these vintage Lubrisizers by Saeco. Love it...except when I have to buy dies, especially if I need it in a non-stock size. That is where the RCBS / Lyman have...

"Thumper" :-P

Well...after a bit of pondering, debating and changing my mind several times I decided to take advantage of Al's specials and purchased a NOE 360-310-FN 3 cavity GC mold.

Looking forward to...

Trying to make a decision on which mold to go with for my Ruger #1 Whelen.

Had my eye on the RCBS 35-250-SP for a bit and it is currently on sale at Midway. Also interested in the NOE Ranchdog...

If there is any truth to that rumor that could explain a lot.

The "halt in production" could be an alotted period to let current stock sell out while they retool.

The end of the accessory...

I have often pondered this very same thing. The big issue though is the mass of weaker (shotgun) receivers out there. NEF/H&R has stated the primary reason for shipping your receiver to them for...

Yes. With the sharp shoulder of the SWC I have had accuracy issues with my Redhawk (0.433"+ throats). Shooting as cast diameter (0.433") has helped greatly in this gun. RNFP designs are not nearly...

And if it makes a difference, the load is a 44 mag with a 44-250K over 8.0gr of Unique (sometimes step up to 10.0gr.). The alloy is straight COWWs.

I tried searching for this and didn't see it soooo...

I have finally gotten to the point that I have multiple revolvers in the same chambering. I am sticking to a single boolit mold in both...

I saw that Midway had a few of these on clearance so I went ahead and picked up two for $53 apiece. I am pretty stoked. These will replace my Lee 6-cav 68 clone. The bevel base and lubesizer is a...

I happened to work on the Independence and Coronado. Before and after launch of the Independence, a brief period before launch on the Coronado. I have been working on the LCS program for about 8...

Haha...Which LCS are you referring to? The Marinette built ships or the Independence/Coronado?

Is that 57mm one of the BOFORs cannons?

If you explained this already I apologize.

Same here. I will never buy a set of RCBS / Lyman / Saeco handles when I can buy Lee's at less than half the price and just modify a little.

Going to have to scratch my name from this one. I decided to go a different route.

I will take one. Make mine a .434", 4 cavity, all gas check

Am I a tool and die maker? No--I am an aluminum ship fitter by trade. :-)

While this particular mic doesn't have graduation marks down to the...

I am using soft lead round balls tapped through each throat and measured with a Hornady micrometer.

So the choice between a .433" or .434" die won't be earth shattering here? I can probably have a...

9.3x62AL, with j-words it shot remarkably well...at least with 210gr Gold Dots and a full charge of 2400. Those are the only jacketed I ever ran out of it though. With cast I can't do any better than...
