For real... Everyone keeps coming up with reasons not to do it. I get it you like doing what you're doing. But if you're doing it right none of those reasons really hold much water as far as I'm...

To the leading part,
I have a handgun caliber rifle (H&R in 7.62x25) that experiences pretty bad leading the first 4" of barrel with Carnuba Red and 4.5gr of Red Dot. Barrel is .310, bullets...

Here is a link to the individual sizing bushing: https://www.titanreloading.com/product-category/lee-precision-reloading-equipment/lee-breech-lock-bullet-sizer/lee-breech-lock-sizer-and-punch-sets/...
Yep, typically when I order I chose DHL, and I receive the molds within like 48hrs. It's amazing.

I actually had his name scribbled down as a possibility, having seen some of his posts. Thanks!

Anyone know if JES is willing to do Stub Jobs? I have a 12ga stub I'm looking at having a barrel fitted to at the very least, but probably also chambered, and drilled for rings/picatinny rail. ...

Wilco, I haven't used Missouri Bullets in a long time, but last I did they were mostly undersized, hard, and with crayon wax lube. Just a heads up. They were affordable though...

Haven't seen a lot of turtles for some time. Glad they're still doing their thing.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Yeah, prices of all alloys has gone through the roof. Look at what people are selling lead for in the S&S section. $2-3/lb if you're lucky. Spot on lead is currently at 0.98/lb USD as of the time...

My understanding is the magic number is 70% from an external ballistics perspective. That said, I've see larger metlaps do wonders. Look at the Hammer Molds. Basically a flying soup can. If it's...
Yeah, unless he has it in stock he isn't taking orders. I have a particular design I really want to have cut in a 4-5 cavity mold. But I cannot get any of the current manufactures to answer an...
Ahh, I see what the problem is....
You want a mold he doesn't have in stock. Well, I'm still waiting on a response for the email I sent him 6 months about about a mold that wasn't in stock. They...

Lee's new bushing system for the APP press can also be used with any of the breech-lock presses. I use their adapter for the APP mounted in an older Challenger press. Works great, and their bushing...

That’s a very nice mold. They just don’t make them like H&G any more.

I was referring to the general use of powdercoated bullets. I haven't found an application where I need a GC due to speed issues when PCing. Sure, AR type rifles can also benefit from this. But...

Man, I wasn't sure about it either. It seemed like a lot of hassle, and extra equipment to deal with, not to mention adding another step... Then I did it......
Let me tell you, THIS IS THE WAY. ...

I've been a fan of the 16ga for a long time. I even have on next to the bed for "bump in the night" type stuff. It's a Mossberg 500 in 16ga with a 19" barrel and a pistol grip, holds 5+1. I...

Heads up, I went ahead and emailed Tom over at Accurate the dimensions of my design I posted above. When he gets back with a mold identifier number I'll post it here if anyone is interested.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I too have been looking for the classic 90gr mold, the Ideal/Lyman 311419. Turns out that Accurate does have a copy of it they sell: See this link 31-085E.
NOE also has a copy they sell, but...
Hi-Tek / Powder Coat does leave behind a bit of residue. I most often notice it in my S&W revolvers with very shiny bores. After shooting they look "clean" but without the level of shiny that they...

So I'm still looking. Didn't even get to respond to the offer before it was withdrawn.
