The Lee 430-310 and the 358-158 RFN are both WFN designs. There are a lot of variations on the theme of SWC, but the Lyman 429421 and the true(er) copies by folks like boutique mold makers like NOE,...

I had a heck of a time getting 3 different 9mm to shoot without keyholing. A S&W Model 39, a Taurus 1911 9mm and a Hi Point 9mm Carbine. All three shoot jacketed just fine, but all three would...

Don't forget the crown as well. Lots of those guns when they were cleaned were cleaned vigorously by inexperienced conscript troops with little training using steel rods, soap and hot water (perhaps...

I recently weigh sorted a batch of bullets (Lee 225-55) that I'd run. It's been some thirty years since I weigh sorted anything throwing out the 30 or so at the extreme edges of the run, the bullets...

I'd be surprised that there'd be enough difference to matter. Some years back I took the Lee 310 and milled the top of the mold off to remove the gas check shank. Ended with a bullet of about 250...

Hardness of the salvaged alloys to be used therefore must be know(n) There in is the rub. I hate to see the demise of COWW being commonly available, it is a known quality and would do for most uses...
Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook #3 has detailed external ballistic tables for their bullets in the back. It is out of print but you can find a reproduction here...
I'm just a bumpkin who likes 1911's. At one time I certainly thought they were the be all end all of pistols and I've shot lots of them from a Thompson that wouldn't feed ball to a Kimber that would...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Yeah, he of all people should know that linotype is not the be all end all of bullet alloy, that in fact for day in and day out shooting, most casters are still using COWW or some simple modification...

Yeah, it sounded to me as though the SAW is going to be the experimental platform for the cartridge but once proven either new rifles chambered for it will be bought or upgrades to our existing...

The Krag, the Mosin Nagant and several other military rifles were fitted with magazine cut offs for this very reason. The Trapdoor Springfield was adopted in part because repeaters were deemed to be...

IMO, and that doesn't mean much, this thing is aimed at the young guys in my club who are shooting subsonic 308 WIN out of bolt actions with pistol length barrels with cans attached. I asked one why...

My complaint was never that RCBS was getting out of the business. My complaint was and is that they are crying that the market for their product is shrinking when the3 flourshing of boutique mold...

Dennis Marshall agrees on the separation thing. His knowledge on the subject can be found in Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook #3

The 30-06 has been used to shoot down airplanes. I don't think there is anything it's not good for.

I've never bought this line of thinking simply because it requires that I'm spending my time casting and reloading rather than doing something I could be getting paid for and it's not true. For most...

The norm in the southern region is to stock catfish, bass and bream. If you stock bream, you must either stock bass and keep the bream caught out or constantly keep the bream caught out. But whatever...
