I use the Hornady dies and had a heck of a time getting the shoulder in the right place. I was using a Hornady shell holder that I bought at the same time as the dies. Finally I changed to a Lee...

Actually lead oxide has a mohs hardness of 2
Copper is 2.5-3
Brass is 3-4
And steel is 5-8.5

The real danger is that lead oxide can be absorbed through the skin. (Much more so than metallic...

You've full length resized them and they still won't fit? What gun are you trying them in?

On any forum with more than one member, you probably won't find a consensus on anything. Me, I size after only on boolits with out a GC. On checked boolits I size and install the check, then size...

Well, the used barrel if it's in really good condition should be worth 175-200. A rebore is going to run 200 or so. I'd say sell the 223 and order an MGM, it's about even money. A 24" MGM will be 395...

Close the mold and look down the cavities... does it look like the cavities are cut on center with the parting line? I had a 6 cav 40 cal mold that I had to bang the heck out of the pivot pin to get...

Slightly off topic, but I'd like to see them post dimensioned drawings of all their designs on their website. I have many Lee molds and they work well, however sometimes I'd like to look at...

Sorry, it's just I see it spelled that way occasionally or maybe that's the European spelling...

The "Zlug" thread mentioned above is a great one. And there are many threads on using zinc for...

Try your search with "Zinc".

Maybe this one?

Lee tumble lube will work with either bullet style. The hardest part is not getting too much on. You also might try lubing and loading some as cast. That older revolver might need a boolet larger...

They seem to have the same general cure temp as the stuff we use here. I remember some posts here of people experimenting with the metallics and as far as I remember they worked okay. You might want...

Here's a pic to show the hinge pin locations for the Easy-Open and Non-Easy-Open G1 Frames. I don't have a G2 so I'm not sure how those are made.
A Contender was the first gun I bought when I turned...

Badgeredd, where did you have your Contender barrels done? Are those stubs you've done yourself?

I'm interested in doing up a Contender carbine barrel. At first I was looking at doing a 22 TCM...

Look up BT Sniper in the vendor sponsor section, he has his full price list there...

Never mind... guess I should have reread the thread before I posted... :oops:

Anyone know if this guy (kainemolds) is still in business? I tried his website in both firefox and internet exploder and all I get is the main intro page. None of the other buttons work...

His...

Are you running the annealed cases through any kind of draw die first or straight up into the 222 die after the notching process?

What would you like to know?

I've had a couple of the 45/410 barrels and with Colts they were terribly inaccurate and I often got key holing at seven yards. I now have a 45 Colt "Hot Shot"...

About 5 1/2...

I've noticed it a bit, especially with HF red. My theory is that there is a range of particle sizes in the powder and the finer stuff is more likely to stick. So eventually you end up with courser...

Wardo,

Forget about asking for Harbor Freight. They're not a powder manufacturer but a place down here that sells cheap tools.

Ask the shops about any solid color powder they might have. It...

I've pretty much gone the PC route will all my boolits and have some left over lube (both wax and LLA) as well as a kit of HT coating I bought but never opened.

I'd like to post these in the S&S...

I spent last Sunday DT coating for the first time. Did about 600 120gr 9mm boolits in several colors I bought from All Powder Paints. They all came out great (okay, not as good as with the ES gun,...

A question for those of you that reload 22 TCM, what shell holder do you use?

I recently purchased an Armscor 1911 and bought a bunch of new brass. I tried the two 9mm shell holders I have and...
