I'm using them in a Henry. The load I was referring to was with Trail Boss powder. Where you mark your case with the depth of your seated bullet, fill the powder to that mark, then back off 30%. ...

Just wondering if anyone has had the same problems I have had with 45/70 brass. Mine after a half dozen loads seem to split right above the crimp line on the bottom of the bullet. What is the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Might try a different shell holder, i have seen them with different thicknesses and not allowing the brass to fully resize!

Thank you, that cleared things up for me completely. I'm not sure I would have figured it out without the video!
Forum: Gas Checks
So if I am understanding this correctly it sort of serves as a spacer to stop the entire bullet from going into the sizer die. Just enough to seat the check.

I have a little gadget that is called a gas check seater. It apparently works with a lubri-sizer, my problem I can't figure out how it works with it. Looked it over several times, just can't figure...

That is exactly how these are, dull gray. Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm going to pc them in the next week or so.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
They don't have white powder on them. just a little rough in places and they have never been sized or lubed.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I have a lot of 30 caliber bullets that have been cast for a while. They still look good, but have a few rough places due to oxidation for lack of a better term. Will these powder coat ok? Thanks...

Midsouth shooter's supply has once fired 350L in stock!
Forum: Cast Boolits
Most all I have ran in mine are powder coated 147 grain trunicated boolits. They have shot reliably for me and will shoot ragged hole at 50 yards. But as we all know, not every gun works the same. ...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I shoot acme 145 grain hi-teck coated bullets with 16 grains of 2400. They produce one hole groups at 50 yards. Very affordable as well!

No matter how perfect one's eyes may be, you can only focus on one thing at a time. Consider looking through a camera lense, whatever it is you focus on will allow things closer or further to be...

I am using the Lee FCD, but also I am loading the Legend for a bolt gun, therefore I use the FCD to only straigthen up the flare for the cast bullets, not for a strong crimp that will handle AR15...
Forum: Cast Boolits
You are correct on that, I was mistaken on the bullet. I read every issue while he was writing. Always had a dream as a young man about chasing jackrabbits with that same load. Hard to find them...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Believe it or not "substantive" and "substantial" come from the same root word, "substance!" I'm glad it worked out too. Now I have no worries!!
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have loaded several hundred with lighter cast bullets and 2400 with great results, moa accuracy and absolutely no pressure signs. I think you'll have good results with this powder and with some of...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the reply, that was my thoughts about lowering the weight much more. I do have an adjustable gas block on this gun, was wondering if adjusting it would have anything to do with the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Just read this post wondering about 2400 powder with the same bullet, where should one start weight wise to get the 1200 fps? I have considerable amount of that powder, and less than a pound of 1680.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Can't quite figure why I'm getting enough velocity out of 10 grain load to go supersonic. Just wonder if dropping the charge will be safe? I'd appreciate the info on your chrno if you go tomorrow.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I am loading this in the 300 blackout and have dropped the powder charge to 10 grains and I am still getting the sonic crack through my suppressor. This is fired from a 10.5 inch AR. Is is safe to...
