If you think that is nuts, lookup Shooters World powders @ Midway... They are WAY over any other website

I shoot a lot of 458 (Monroe LA)
The kick is not something to dread or worry with. I built 2 ARs and a bolt rifle, none are bad. I shoot 300-600gr projectiles. I have most of the NOE 459 molds too

Can you post some more information/pictures on this process? That sounds extremely interesting.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Look at NOE. Al is currently running a 15% off sale and you can stack code FLT001 for another 10% off. They arent as cheap as Lee molds no, but they are very very nice to work with!

Being in Louisiana the weather basically does whatever it feels like. It's usually very humid and its usually almost unbearable hot. Any of my cast projectiles I have usually get coated that day or...

I will post a picture of my lead stash. I have noticed a white powder start to form on some. I have a decent lead stash (IMO) just beyond 4K# in ingots

Oh man, I have gone back and forth on this topic. I have a couple of "gun friends" and none of them load.
IF they ask, I tell them to get into it, and I'll help. I won't do it for you. But I do...

On your NOE 309-225 mold, did you specifically ask for 2 gas checks and 2 plain base? IDK that I've ever seen one like that
Forum: Cast Boolits
Much better. Now that your mold is up to temp you'll be fine.
If those fins do not increase in size or as long as you don't start getting them along the driving bands of the projectile, IDK that...

I also commented on your Facebook post that it is probably your mold temperature. Being a steel mold it will take longer to get to temp over aluminum.
That is still what I believe will solve your...

I shoot a lot of cast in 300blk/458 socom in rifle & 9mm/40/10mm cast in pistol
I have become a Shooters World fan. Works great for me in my applications. No reason for you not to at least try it

Im not sure why this come into question, But how old was the Las Vegas shooter again? Its not exclusive to age. Yes a large majority are "younger"

Are you using a hot plate to preheat your molds before you start? Ive found that my molds start producing better bullets quicker using a hot plate

Yes they are for Powdercoat and Hi Tek coating only. I know its probably been done in some way or form before, but I havent seen a new mold in a while offer anything like this before.
And I'm not...

NOE is running a set of group buys that are unlike anything you’ve probably seen before. These are nose pour molds, but they also come with different length pins that yield a different weight...

Once I start casting, I always catch myself saying ok just a couple more and I'm done. Then an hour later I say after this pour, that's it. Usually, my arms tell me to stop.

This is what Full Lead Taco was talking about on NOE Forums. You can't show so many things on Youtube now it's insane

Im in that "young person" category (no i dont need your casting stuff) but I do load 223. For some of my rifles. I dont own any "assault rifles" but I do own rifles that are in fact chambered in 223....

Smokes powder
or
Buy some RAL powder from Powderbuythepound. Lots of powder will work, like Eastwood Ford Lightblue. I started PCing 2 years ago and haven't looked back since.
