Hi Sirius-

I've owned both of these calibers in the past. I used .38 Long Colt brass in the .360 Rook and Bertram in the .300. I don't know if .32 Long Colt is available in the UK, but this worked...

Sorry I wasn't clear- I'm looking to shoot .223 cast, specifically the Lee 55 gr. GC boolit. I already have a .300 BO upper. Thanks!

Hi James- straight wall cases will actually get shorter from repeated firing. It could be that these have been fired multiple times. However, I'm doubting you'd see much difference with regard to...

Hey folks- I'd like to assemble an AR upper and dedicate it to shooting cast boolits. Specifically, I'd like to install a 20 to 24" barrel with a 1 in 12" twist and have a larger gas port installed...

Hey folks- I have a friend who inherited a plain jane Hi Power and wants to get an action/accuracy job, grip stippling, slide serrations, etc. type of work. Does anyone here have a recommendation for...

Interesting. If the bullets are very hard then they might not obturate enough at .458 SOCOM velocities and the .4585 or .458 sizing might make a big difference. Have you slugged the bore on your...

I use one of those cheap "over the door" type shoe organizers and cut it to the size I need. Then I use those strong rare earth magnets to hold it in place on the inside of the safe door. Works...

I tried several "Ranch Dog" bullets with large meplats but they had trouble feeding in my AR. I settled on this design which is accurate and feeds reliably:...

I've used IMR 4895 for a lot of milsurp rifles and I've had great luck with it- including the 8x50R Lebel. Personally, I'd start around 28 grains and then work up from there to get your best...

Hi Lakehouse- I'd like to get in with an 8-cavity, solid, lube groove, gas check mould (no handles) if it's not too late. Thanks! (b t r e a n o r at h o t m a i l . c o m)

They're fun to play with. Last year, I co-wrote an article on stacking them for multiple projectile loads. It's on page 46 of this issue:
...

I like 3.8-4.0 Power Pistol with my 147's.

For the 9mm (and all boolits, for that matter), fit is king. You'll need to slug your bores to be sure. I'm not sure about the alloys you listed, but I use WW sized to 0.357". For the 9mm, you want...

Over the past two weeks, I've had two case head separation events in my "new-to-me" Henry .44 lever rifle. It's also worth noting that these are the first case head separations I've ever experienced...

What would be a fair/decent price to pay for 99 to 99.9% pure tin on a per pound basis? I'm seeing prices that seem a little high to me. Thanks!

I'm not sure how old the mold is. I bought it here and was told it was from a group buy.

Howdy folks-

I've run into an issue with my Lee 6-cavity group buy mold. Specifically, both bushings (female side of the alignment pins) have been pushed in. Of course, I found this issue right...

Update- problem fixed. Land Owner is correct- the lube plunger was threaded too tightly against the upper end of the pressure screw. It took some doing, but I've got it loose. Once I got the lube...

Howdy folks-

I recently got a used but "new to me" RCBS LAM 2 lube sizer. It seems well built. However, I'm having trouble with the lube plunger/piston turning inside the lube chamber when I apply...

Thanks to everyone! I'll shoot BNE a PM.

I have what I believe to be almost pure tin ingots. Where could I have one tested? And what is the approximate cost to do so? Thanks in advance!

I deprimed a bunch of these 8mm Lebel cases and converted the pockets to use with boxer primers. The only way I could get the primer out was to use my metal lathe and drill it out. They worked OK but...

I never had any luck with lighter weight cast bullets in my 9mms. However, I've had great luck with hard cast 147 gr. FP and about 4.0 gr. of Power Pistol. I also use a Lee FCD and I've never had...

It's probably left over dirt. Whenever I use my spoon to scrape the sides of the pot, it floats up to the surface.

As a general rule, I could never get 2400 to shoot as accurately as 4895 with boolits in rifle cartridges.
