I seen something on another site that could explain why I had trouble with FL dies for the Swiss. Seems that the K31's have a little bigger chamber then the 1911 rifle and the dies are sized for the...

An old pistol shooter showed me a slick way to get lead build up out of a Ruger 44 mag revolver I had that leaded up bad when I used Unique powder. He took a soft keith boolit, oiled it and started...

I used the pacesetter dies at first but they oversized the brass to the point of getting split necks and the brass growing in length at a fast rate, some only lasted 3-4 loadings and I load light....

To the best of my memory it was from 270-273 gr and .230-.231 dia. from the mold I had. It's been my experience that even the same # mold produced at separate periods of time can vary, sometimes by a...

Took the words right out of my mouth Scrounger. That target is a hum-dinger. Just picked up one of the three K31's from the gunsmith tonite. Had an old steel Lyman reciever sight installed. Had...

Seaco 265gr RFN GC. Shot real good out of a 444 Marlin I had. It was a real thumper with a max charge of 4198. I don't do that kind of stuff anymore, too old to take the pain now. My loads go " pop"...
Had one too. Was glad to see it go. Most miserable mould to cast a fully filled out boolit I ever used. Even when I did get a few good ones I never found a load that would shoot worth a crap in a...

Mix a little bees wax with that black slick stuff and see if it will work for boolit lube. Unless you have your privy close by it may be OK. I guess you could stick your finger in it and take a lick...

Used to plant 3/4 acre up till 5 years ago. Then I moved to town and my garden is 8x8 ft now. Had three Troy Bilt tillers over a period of years, the last one with a log splitter attachment. I sure...

MO will be coming your way for one soon. Thanks a lot for running with this idea, I was hoping someone would come forward.

Try RCBS 145 Sil , hear tell it's accurate. Seems like a lot of the XP 100 boys use the Seaco #71 160gr tapered boolit

I feel don't fix what ain't broke. Lee's design works really well for me , I just want to produce them faster.

Buckshot, I think Graf & Son are out of brass except for Norma which is very costly. 284 Winchester works I hear, just run it through a 7x55 Swiss FL die. Don't know off hand if you have to trim or...

Harder to find a cast load that doesn't shoot well then a good one in my three K 31's. Favorite boolits are Seaco #315 & Lee 155gr sized .309. Lots of powders work, but being as fugal as I am my...

I never had any trouble with the lube staying in the grooves as long as the boolits were completely dry before I lubed. I used Hornaday one shot spray for a while but that was too expensive. Then I...

No-no, too thin, would have to be thicker mix for good napalm

When I have boolits that are hard to push through my star because I waited too long after I cast and water dropped or if I just want to make it a lot easier I do this. Take a tube of Lee sizing lube,...

Enjoyed some yesterday for supper. Next time I'll double the recipe, Ran out too quick for two people that have my appetite. Also need more red pepper for me, I love heat. All in all damn good...

You can't beat WC820 for the price even with the $8 rise in price this month. I started out using it for pistols but now I find myself replacing 2400 with it in rifle loads and it works quite well....

Shuz, I used to buy at Esmans in Turtle creek during the 60's, then they moved to Pitcairn around 1970 I think. After the owner passed on Jerry that use to be the optics man took over until he shut...

Shuz, don't know what speed I get with any of my light loads. My speed-o-meter hasn't worked in 2 yrs ever since it got caught in a drizzle. The way I load I shouldn't have to worry about overloading...

I did consider the 358 Win as the other 35 cal but since I had the longer Mauser action or a Springfield action available to work with I figured the longer case would be better suited. My need for...
