lubed or powder coated. May need to be sized depending on the size of the bullet after powder coating or lubing. Flare the mouth of the brass and load.

NOE makes several 30 cal pellet molds. Just checked and it appears they are currently out of stock for most of them.

I have bonded using a lee pot. I can not say how it works with 22lr jackets as I have not done enough testing with those yet. I can say that conversion of 9mm brass then melting the cores in a lee...

I was already hungry for some smoked mullet and smoked mullet dip and I come across this post. They look great.

I have found that hollow points can be of great benefit if the load is tuned correctly for the hunting application. If you are going down this road just remember every boolit has its own...

I have been casting for years but just started swagging in the past couple of years. Like many of you I have a home made bullet trap that I recover my projectiles from. Some of these were for my 357...

Red Bear I would just mike them first to see if they were still acceptable. That is what I do now. Does not matter if they are PC or lubed. 6 month is plenty of time for them to have hardened and...

Cast, Powder Coat, and Size. Not an issue with most boolits but understand that large bullets can grow after sizing depending on the composition of the lead mix. The larger the boolit the more of an...

hmm going to make comment on this but many here are more knowledgeable than I am. Within there capabilities pressure is what matters. If a cartridges max pressure does not exceed the limitations of...

In my experience I have killed most of my large game with shots of less than 100 yards. At that distance it is simply a matter of choice of what you want to shoot and your confidence in the load. If...

Well folks I am gong to be honest a nice young hog I have no problems with. I cook all pork to the recommended temperature. Wild or store bought. Now if we are talking about a big old boar I cant...
I think you made a good choice. That or the 30/30 would have been mine, I have both. The availability and the amount of 308 shells and brass make it an excellent choice. If you have not already read...

I use pins but my next purchase will be the chips. I have seen veideo's of both in use. I have a media separator that was used to separate dry media from brass. It is the turn style separator. I...

I load a lot of these. I use soft lead with a little tin mostly. This has become one of my favorite rounds. I load it light so I can shoot as much as I desire when I go to the range. They shoot good...

In pistol powder coat is all you need for most there are exceptions. Rifle depends on alloy and how hard you push them. 30 cal over 2000 fps I have experienced gas cutting with powder coated...

I have had that happen for reasons not mentioned above. Some core seat dies are attuned to a certain weight range for your cores. If you are crushing the top of the jacket you do not have enough core...

Yep I wrote that one down wrong. I rechecked it. It should be .86 not .66. The 223 brass will work great cut off also. I am thinking if you are getting dies with the tip a little more closed than...
