dudel, I've been a bit buay with things so I haven't had time to cast or reload (or go shootin' for thag matter) but I've powder coated my last batch of boolits and loaded them a few weeks back. I'm...

Yea, I've been running seperate seating & crimping dies, but really wanted the lockout for my progressive. Just went and double checked. The dies I bought were the RCBS lockout, Redding Sizing, RCBS...

I'm using a Lee 4-die kit which uses the FCD (If I recall correctly) but that'll change soon as I bought all new dies for my progressive. In truth I've been dragging my feet in setting up my...

Now that is slick! I'll be spoiled enough when I unbox and setup my progressive, but that is darn neat.

The lee push throughs are what I have now. Well .300, .356 and .358 anyways. How will those help with PC? I usually swab a bit of alox on the inside of the push through die every session to help 'em...

Williamwaco/larry Gibson - I've been using the squirt-n-shake lee alox. I haven't sprung the money for a lube-sizer yet, and got an extra bottle of alox free.

"No real recommendations" was a poor way to conveying my thoughts. I got a lot of information quickly show ing me what was wrong, but was looking more for a guide of what I should try out first to...

Good information so far, but no real recommendations.

As much as I dont want to keep 2 different alloys, is using a different alloy thw best thing to do. I originally settled on 20:1 as it was a...

Also, this particular batch had been aged about 2 months (usually it's closer to about 3 weeks)

I've been shooting my MiHec 359-125 HPs in front of 3.8gr on HP-38 at 1.085" OAL for a little bit now. The speed is averaging ~1040fps and I seem to be getting terrible leading in my pistols.

I'm...

Not quite the answer I expected, but yea it works.

What COAL for these loads did you use?

Well, I'm not looking for exact info. I was simply looking for a way to find a max, then a medium load. Cast at 20:1 the boolits are 146gn. I have found the minimum required to cycle my 9mm guns,...

I would prefer to do this most of all, but my searches online have not been fruitful in finding a company that works direct with handloaders. If anybody knows of a company that tests ammo for...

Ok, shooting a MiHec 360-640 in 9mm Luger sized to .358 in a Kahr CM9 slugged at .355 and in a Beretta 92A1 slugged at .358. Cast at 20:1 air cooled. Started the load at 2.4gn loaded to 3.4gn where...

Is there any known relationship between excess pressure indicators and SAAMI max pressures? I'm curious if there is a rule of thumb sayin' something like pressure indicators usually show up when it's...

Yeah, Dykem has both layout fluid and staining colors which were what I was looking at. Enamel would be much tougher, but I wouldn't wanna try it on the whole case. (I'd worry about how well it would...

Hey guys, wantin' to try something new for my cases to make them easier to identify at the range (easier than just sharpie on the case stamp). I've been looking into using Dykem Staining Color or...

Ah, great idea RobS. I want somethin' a bit more durable and a bit more permanent, but this I'm goin' to try tonight.

pretzelxx - Unfortunately, that doesn't really help. The first few dozen castings aren't a problem as I preheat. The devastator mold takes a bit of time to manipulate the HP pin and to drop the...

So, I've been struggling a little bit keeping my mold up to temp after a few dozen castings. (it's a 9mm Lyman devastator mold for those of you who know how finicky they are) and decided it was a...

Well decided to try everything first. Mounted the press on a piece of 1x8 and C-clamped it down. Press is about 10" offset from the middle. Also mounted my powder measure on a 1x8 and put a half a...

Great info guys, thanks. Gotta head to Lowe's to check what scrap I can use. Unfortunately, I missed out on the free after MIR bins Menards did (looking through old circulars they had one 2 weeks...

So, on sealing the top, I was gonna go with a oil-based acrylic enamel, probably black or dark slate grey. Should I do gloss or matte?

Thanks guys for the suggestions, I would have never thought to add pegboard to the sides, but that seems like a brilliant idea. And yes, I planned on sitting while reloading, and truth betold, I've...
