I bought 1800 of the wooden Swedish blanks for $50. I pulled the wooden heads and began experimenting with the Lyman 266673 and the powder that came in the blanks. I found it's burn rate around the...

I threw away my Marvelux when I started using crayons. Marvelux made a mess, the crayons work perfectly.

Powder coat young man
Makes alloy hardness less critical and adds a thousandth or two to boolit diameter

I’ve used imr4350 in 30/06 and 7.62x54 Russian both with 210 grain boolit
Seems like a light boolit and a slow powder
But give it a try!

good molds, much better quality than the 2 cav lee molds. just wish they made 6 cav molds in a few more lee designs (Lee, are you listening?)

I just worked a load up for my Marlin 1895. 405 grain jacketed soft point over 43 grains aa2230. very accurate (apple sized groups on steel at 100 yds) and hits like a freight train.
suspect the rate of twist may too slow for that heavy of a boolit. I've seen that in my Marlin 336 in 35 rem, shoots the 200 grain boolits fine, but won't spin the 250 grainers.

I have one of the lee 8mm karabiner molds, throws 240 grains from my alloy, if you're interested in buying it, let me know.
All I shoot nowadays is the 185 grain NOE boolit.

for the 6.8 spc, Lyman 280468, sized .278 and powder coated, over 25 h4895 with a rem 9 1/2 primer shoots great in my AR.

HF black will only work with the gun, will not "shake and bake".
Shake and bake coats the bottoms also.
I size and seat the GC first, then coat, then re-size if needed.

No. I think at this point that's urban myth/wives tale. I've been shooting cast boolits in gas operated rifles for more than 10 years and I've yet to have a problem. Also, have never seen or heard of...

I found a load for the 45-70 that works REALLY well in my Marlin 1895. 43 grains of AA2230 with a 405 grain jacketed soft point. Just shy of 1800 fps. Shoots about 2.3 inches at 100 yards. Bit of a...

Love mine. Only complaint is that it's a top eject, so mounting a scope is a pain. Had a marlin, but the bore was so oversized, even cast at .432, wouldn't shoot well. Next one I get will be a Henry,...

They work really well, but are fairly expensive per caliber. Look at the Lyman E-Z trim that Midway sells, sometimes they're on sale for $115. Best bargain in a case trimmer, in my opinion.

Lyman 446110, pc, over 29 grains of imr 4198 is what shoots good in mine.
