I figured I would try a light boolet since that pistol he picked up is so light. It's as bad as my Keltec .380. I'll try casting it without the hollowpoint to get it up in weight... These will be...

I reload for the 380 with mihec 380 mold and it shoots great.
My son just picked up a pf9 9mm and I don't have any experience reloading for it. Since it's such a lite pistol would the 95gn mihec...

The engraving was very faint at the recommended OAL. I can unchamber it with no problem. I thought if it was in the lands it would cause pressure issues. I kept reducing OAL until no engraving. So...

I sized the boolits to .311. I poked one into the muzzle and it went into the muzzle to the first band (snug fit).

I'm working up a load with a Lyman mold (311041 173GN FPRN). I tried the OAL from the Lyman manual 2.510 and the cast boolet is hitting the rifling. To get to the point that it wasn't engraving I...
I have a redfield on my Marlin 375 and I've not had any issues.

I use 50/50 of Sta-Lube Moly- Graphite lube and beewax. Works great
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I've tried equal part by weight of sta-lube moly-graphite and beeswax. Best of all the barrel is a lot easier cleaning due to the moly.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I guess I will give that peach paraffin a try. Maybe the moly lube may smell better..

I read that Mihec's HP molds where great so I picked up one. This was my first casting.

I just tried my first cast Boolits out. These where 290 GN .44 HP cast with WW with 3% tin added and dropped into water. These where shot out of a .444 Marlin with 35 GN H4198 (1650 FPS). They went...
