I had 1 aluminum mold, it didn't last... I mainly use Hensley & Gibbs molds 6,8 and 10 cavites. I warm them on a hot plate {2} and go back and forth between the 2 casting boolits.

Nice pot! Any plans? I also used the corner method - for larger molds it never heated evenly. Now I use the hot plate with 2 molds and rotate them. {I only use the hot plate to warm them up} I...

Thanks guy's, at least I know it's Hodgdon powder now. I couldn't even find who made it.
I have a 45-70 and a .458 ruger tropical {it's for sale} and a 7.5 swiss. I also have a .41 swiss vereli...

For Shiloh, I thought I could look it up and work out a load from my books. Besides 20# for 50.00 = 2.50 a pound, for that price I would gamble again. I will work a load up - thanks for all your...

:roll:I did google searches, didn't find anything. {I guss that should tell me something}

No label, box is marked 20# H-202 Ohio cast or Ohio cust {it looks more like u } in marker. The brown cardboard container is stamped propellant explosives solid, class B . The side is stamped...

I called Hodgdon and they said they never made a H 202 . The old guy I bought it from at the gun show said he used it for large cases because it had a slower burn rate. Any one ever work up a load...

I just picked up 20# of H 202 today. Does any one have loading info on this powder? I would like to try it in 30-06 or 45-70. I tryed looking it up on a chart for burn rates, but it wasn't listed....

If you are willing to spend more money, the star luber is the way to go! If you are planing on lubing a lot it will pay for itself in a short time! :-D

I use a turkey fryer base. You might be able to find some at garage sales:D . I had a little problem with mine after I got over 100# in it was a little wobbley so I welded a few supports on it. It...

I've seen a few old boolet molds that were made to put a zinc washer in the back of the boolet to use as a wipe. :neutral:

I just picked up over 500 lbs from my scrap yard for .32 cents a pound. The last time I got it a month ago it was .27 cents a pound. I hope it's not going up again:(

I'm suprised at you guys :roll: The short ones are for pistols the long ones are for rifles :lol:

[IMG]http://d[0202091609] I will try this to see if I can post a picture. I called corbin they told me to use a longer pin to push it through the die so it cant come back down.

My punches are .200 the case is coming out at .220 dia. and .708 to .722 long. It is a shaving, like a scuff. But it looks like it's doing it when I pull the ram back down. I do push them all the way...

I picked up a Corbin set years ago. Press, dies and jacket maker. Now thats its cost effective I decided to pull it out and use it. I'm having trouble forming the cases with the jacket maker. It some...

Thanks to every one.:-D I cleaned it and polished it {I don't think I did any thing to it though}. I ran a dozen lubbed boolits through it and it helped. I figured out most of my problem. :oops:I had...

I will try to run some softer ones to see if that helps, I was just water quenching my wheel weights and thats what I got.

Its less than .001 from cast to sized. I have the boolit pushed down as far as I can and still get lube in the grove. I've tryed running a lubed bullet through but it doesn't seem to help. I went to...

It's less than .001, but it's not easy it takes some effort to size. Some are easer than others. I checked size before it doesn't very any.

For 10.00 each you should have bought them all, and sold them on hear or on evil-bay. You could have made some extra money.:)

I tryed lubing the bullets {spray} with no change either way. I had also checked my hardness, it tested as quenched WW {brinell 23}. On the star if the heat isn't high enough the lube won't flow. I...

I picked up an older star luber. It already had a .452 die in it and the top punch was made for a semi wad cutter, but I'm feeding them nose down. The die was a 2 grove so I plugged the top set of...

I saw a gas check maker on evil-bay that made them out of a pop cans {item # 330300226030 }. These would be like the old lyman. I'm not sure how good aluminum gas checks would work. Don't the other...

I've shiped lead before by reinforcing the inside of the flat rate box with double thick carboard, cut from a box. I used straping tape on the outside. I made sure I stayed under the 70 lb. limit! I...
