Hey guys,
I just bought a new mold, the Lee 125gr rn and I am having problems with overall length. After PC and sizing I seated the boolit to 1.110 as I usually do and did the drop test into my...

Well I hogged out my Lee .356 sizer to .3575. I then PCed some lee 125gr rn and baked in 400 degrees for 10 mins. I took a temp reading about half way through and the boolits were 575 degrees when...

Oh, I was thinking the PC was as good as a jacket. Still needs to be a larger sized boolit though. I only have a .356 sizer I think I will size and then PC and check the measurement. With luck maybe...

It does brush out easy but it doesn't look like lead. It looks more like burnt titegroup. I water dropped after casting but not after the oven. Would the oven take hardness out of the lead enough...

Yeah dirt is not a good description. Its more like deposits. Like a real dirty burning powder. But I use this load for jacketed loads and it is not like this. I was thinking about the PC not being...

I suggest a Lee classic cast turret as well. Use it as a single and have your dies set. Use it as a turret and get better numbers. Get another gun and set up another turret with dies. Personally I...

Breech lock is not even good for reloading I had one. On the bright side I sent it back to lee and they upgraded me to the classic cast turret for no charge. The classic cast single hole is a very...

Great advice Mr. COLLINS thank you. There are 2 ends of my bench and while I prefer the middle at this point maybe that will change. When I bought the press I loaded about 5000 rds of 9mm and 8000...

Anyone seen the .224 die set on ebay. Looks like a derim and core seat. He does not seem to be able to get a buyer. No point form or final sizing die available yet. I called the#but was disconnected...
