I gave up on trying to get a perfect alloy and lube and bullet fit etc. I would always get leading, especially in my sloppy barreled Taurus .357. I got the 9mm worked out pretty good as long as using...
A lee 230 with 10.7 grains of 4227 is what has ended up working the best for my 8" barrel. I have used h100 and lil gun, but nothing beats the 4227. I like lil gun for lightweights. Your barrel...

the 300blackout is quiet, it hits hard, is accurate and is like a dream come true for us boolit casters. I don't think there is any other way to go outside of a rimfire. of course I do hear those 38...
my LEE 4-20 has casted 2-300 pounds of lead in the last year. I think very highly of it. it barely drips and keeps a consistent temperature. I am sure the rcbs is dandy, but for 7 times the price, it...
