I love mine. I have the quick change plates for the T-mag 2, rock crusher, rcbs lubesizer. I'm thinking about getting the stand for my powder measure.

The boolits look like they are wrinkled, like the mold or lead is to cool. Turned up the heat and they are still wrinkled. Usually the melt will change colors. I'm thinking it had a light blue...
Lower the powder tube. There is a clamp with an allen head screw holding it in place.

I got everything to make Ed's Red and I was going to use a plastic gas can to keep it in. When my neighbor noticed I was about to pour the actone in. He came over and told me that it would eat thru...

It's hard to start the boolit but, after that it goes right down.
I only got to shoot at 25 yards today. It was 20 degrees and a west wind about 15mph. All my shooting was done from the standing...

I'll be shooting this in a inline with a .463 bore. The twist is 1 in 20.
All the sabots and bullets combs I've tried will not group at all. I tryed some Lyman 45 maxi balls and got a 3" group...

Has anyone try a Lee 459-405-HB out of a 45 cal. m/l? I'm going to try this as soon as the weather permits. I'm going to start at 60 grns. Any suggestions?
I'm hooked on ladle pouring now. It took about 10 boolits to figure it out. On the 11th one they started to come out perfect. My lee mold drops them at just .001 out round on the parting line.:D ...

I've been thinking of trying my Lyman 311227. It's a round nose bp 90gr and drops at .313. Does anyone have any load data?

I have a 608 that I use this bullet in. You'll have to crimp over the front band to fit the cylinder. My cylinder mounths slugged right at 358. But you need to check yours. I load 15 grains of...

My part of OH has been dry for awhile. Too many shot makers around.

I agree with mooman. Every gun I have bought my wife without her just sits in the safe.

The Greek M1 are just about sold out. I bought a service grade last year. It had a muzzle wear below 1 and the throat was about a 1/2. :shock: One of the guys at Camp Perry behind the counter...
If you are planning to shoot cast, I would pick up a small cheap set of picks. Makes it easier to clean the ports. Mine has a 8lb double action trigger pull, but a 2lb single action pull. It's my...
I have a astra cadix 38. It's well made. I picked it up used from a gun store. It was made in 1968. I've had it for 10 year now. It's the first gun that I started reloading with. i've shot...

It's an inline with a 209 primer. The first round hit the ground 50 yrds short. It broke the ice over a puddle of water. No ideal where the second one went.
It groups well with 60 grns of...

I use dental picks for my taurus 608. Just clean it every time you shot.

I'm useing loose powder. I bought the powder back in sept. I have used about half of the bottle. I have shot it about 70 times. I put it in the truck last night and I ran a patch thru it this...

This morning I had trouble with 777 fffg. Is it temp sensitive? This morning 2 of my loads lacked power. They sounded very weak. Temp this morning was 18. I sighted it in a couple of weeks ago...
If I remember right they can be reload, but they take a different primer. It's a hair bigger than a 209. Maybe a 616?
I love my 608 with 8 3/4 barrel. Just clean the porting after you get done shooting lead.:bigsmyl2:
