I have a brass from MiHec and notice the bullets come out frost while the ones from my Lyman at the same temp look fine....?

HH

I am looking at NOE as they actually have molds in stock. (I have had a Lyman on order for about a month now.... thinking of canceling it.)

Does the sprue plate cause wear on top of the mold?...

I am pretty new to this game. I have a couple Lyman steel molds and a MiHec brass. They all work pretty well. I see NOE uses a lot of aluminum. They would certainly weigh less, nice. What are...

Thanks for the info! I am ordering a Lyman 4 cavity. I already have the handles for it so that settles it. I am going to look for some tin to add to the wheel weights. I will also be slugging the...

Charlie,
The S&W 642 has .357 throats, the Ruger SP101 also has .357. The Ruger Blackhawk has .359. I have 2 sizer dies. One produces a .3580 to .3585 and the other produces .3595 to .3600. I...

I am looking at some group buys for my 38 Spec/357 Mag. The choices are .360 and .358 inch. I just need to know is there a limit as to how small I can get if I start with .360"?

I have measured...

What does COWW mean? I have been water quenching my wheel weights after casting them. How does this abreviation thing work?

Thanks,

I am new to casting. I am looking for a 230 grain 45 round nose for my 1911. I am trying to decide between these two manufacturers. I have heard Lymans cast undersize. But I have also heard that...

I am new to casting. I bought the Lyman casting kit with a 10 pound pot and ladle set up last summer. Seems to work OK. The problem is I really do not get to cast 10 pounds of boolits before I...

Any 357 magnum loads in Unique? I know it will not be as fast as 2400 or Lil'Gun. But I have a lot of it and like to run lighter loads thru my SP101.

Thanks,
HH

I bought the Mihec groupbuy 180 gr 357 bullet a few months ago. Played with it some but I still don't have the temp down right and bullets are a bit frosty. Looking forward to cooler weather to...

I was casting with my new MiHec 180 gr 357 mold the other day. I notice there are 4 lines of lead on top of the mold going from each cavity to the edge of the mold. How do I remove that? It is a...

So how does this meat foam thing work? Does it smush to the shape of the bottom of the bullet? That way it "fills" in the bevel? Am I understanding this? Sounds like it would work.

Thanks,
HH

Hi, I'm a newbie. Been looking at some molds that are not plain base. I have heard you will get lube around the base of a bevel base boolit when you run it thru the lubrisizer. It makes sense this...

My mold arrived yesterday in PA.

I am pretty new to casting. Is there any special break in to do to a brass mold? Do I need to smoke it? Clean it?

Thanks,
HH

MiHec,
I paid for mine. Thank you so much for getting these out so fast. I did not expect to have it in time for hunting season!!

Thanks,
HH

Fire stick,
thanks for the update. I've been checking this page about everyday.

I got a new TC Contender to try with these. Can't wait!!

Thanks,
HH

It does look like the choke tube things. I decided against that one because it had the compensator ports. I do not want the noise and blast from that. It was listed on gunbroker.

Thanks,
HH

I was looking at a 10 inch contender the other day. It had a funny looking muzzle with a 5 point star pattern. It was ported to reduce recoil. The whole muzzle was larger in diameter with a star...

I have often suspected I don't shoot a single action revolver very well. I don't have anyway to confirm that. I only have one SA and I don't think I'll be buying another. This is my second. I had...

Accuracy is ok, I would like to improve it. Runs around 5 to 6 inches at 50 yds. I have a 2.25 inch SP101 that shoots a bit better.

HH

I really want to fire lap my 50th Anniv Ruger 357 Flattop. I know I need to slug the bore before and during the process. I am really gun shy of that. Just last week I got a lead sinker stuck in my...

It may not be my first choice. I have one and have shot it some. I want to become better with it. I will be working on it this summer as it will be my hunting / woods bumming gun this fall. But...

I loaded some of the .3595 inch boolits in 357 mag cases over 5.5 gr Unique. Kinda like a warm 38 load. Accuracy was somewhat bad. Could this be caused by the diameter being too large for my bore?...

Bingo!!!! geargnasher nailed it....

"Something doesn't add up. I think you're not pushing the boolits deep enough in the die....."

That stared me thinking. When I did these 358477s it was...
