Thanks Geo,
That is very similar to what I had experienced. I bought it new, and the rod was always a little "angled" when installed but I just thought that was the way it was supposed to be. It...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes, that's the part. After some searching here, I found that if I bent the rod so that it was closer to a 90 degree angle while hanging, that the stress on the bushing seemed to be much less. I...

Ok, I broke another one of those white $3.00+ flange bushings that will cost me $12.00 after shipping just for one. :x I would like to know if anyone has an alternative to this part. I measured it...

Thanks for the advice and tips! I didn't think all that crud was building up, but it makes sense if you are pushing dust and lube up in a tube for several hundred or not thousands of rounds. I'll...

Yes, I know..."When they get dirty". Is there a range of loaded rounds that I should consider the point when I clean the dies?
I am using a Dillon 550C with Lee 45 acp carbide dies and RCBS...

Okay, no politically correct concerns when I say... "There are stupid questions and actions, but we should all learn from them.
I am still new to casting and reloading...just on my first 4k rounds...

Thanks to all. I will continue my search for kidney fat, suet, and render the bear fat down to see how it goes.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Is there a major difference in performance between tallow made from suet or that which is made from muscle fat? Anybody have any information on the performance difference?
I do have black bear...

Well today, I'm lubing 9 mm since my new Dillon 550 failsafe rod shoulder bushing broke. Loaded 700 rounds 9 mm then changed tool heads for 45 acp and...snap, the little plastic piece snapped in...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I find myself using a scale more often than I think necessary. I think it is because I'm new to reloading and am not experienced enough to trust the equipment. I only check every so many rounds now...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Great advice from all! I adjusted all dies with cases in each station and it is running true, consistent OAL while running the progressive press.
:p
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thanks for the good information. I will adjust it again with all cases in the previous spaces. Then, if all else fails, I will just set it for the oal O I want when I run it as a progressive press,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Okay Camper64, I'll try that and see what happens.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
It didn't work:-x. I set it at 1.127 but they came out at 1.130. I then took each one and put them back through stage 3 (the seating stage) and they came out at 1.127. Why does it work if I do one...

Used my new Dillon 550C to load some 9mm...200 rounds.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Ok, I just started using my new Dillon 550C and started to notice the OAL changed when running the machine as a progressive machine. By this I mean when I start at station 1, then 2, 3,and 4 my OAL...

What did you say was the address of the gun store that had the Unique powder? :bigsmyl2: Too bad I'm in PA.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Went to Enon, PA (1 1/2hr drive) to buy my first progressive press: Dillon 550C in 9mm and additional 45 acp quick change kit , 1500 rds of 45 acp and 9 mm copper plated bullets, roller handle, and...

Winchester 38-55! Fun to shoot, easy on older shoulders and you can shoot smokeless or Black powder. Shot a doe and a Russian Boar. Both went down quick...doe heart shot, boar right above the ear.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Darn! You are good. I missed that error several times reading over it. Maybe that's why I had eye surgery. It was supposed to be 45-230 #374 bullet mold. Thanks for the sharp eyes.

I broke by Lee single stage press handle. Set up a hand me down RCBS reloader special 2 press and loaded 100 rounds of 45 acp.
Well, I'm looking for all of the above. I have a problem with guns...they seem to want to come home with me every time I'm out at the gun store, searching the web etc. I found that if I buy any...
I just got a load working for my XD 45. It took a while, but it seems promising. RCBS 45-230 RN 234gr 4.3 gr Bullseye 1.227oal. This worked after sticking many bullets and locking the slide. ...
