After reading this thread, I worked over two of my Lee 6 cav molds that were sticking badly. I own about 6 such molds and they all stick but these were the worst. TL358-148-WC & TL358-158-SWC. ...

Lar45, Thank you. That does help. What should I order from your site to tumble lube my bullets, and possibly even use in the 45/45/10 recipe given by the OP?

Well I had read the same thing but then I came across this blurb which confused me ( italics are mine)

Liquid Lube/ X-Lox 350

Liquid Xlox Lube:

We have 55 gallons on hand and are ready to...

Might this recipe be made to work with Alox 350 and enough mineral spirits to get the right viscosity? I have a couple of lbs of alox 350 for the NRA 50/50 recipe.

Thanks.

I've been reloading .380 acp in my 550 and about every other completed round fails to make it into the bin and falls on the floor. I have this problem with other calibers that I reload but it's...

I draw with pencil and have complete sets of about 20 different artist's brands. There are *NO* standards, one mfr's HB might be another's B etc. Also, with cheaper brands there can be uneven ...

Beagle, thanks for that link. I haven't yet read it all but I will. I'm not sure I completely agree with the philosophy in post #93 - life involves taking risks and fun often involves unnecessary...

john,

Thanks. 600 per batch would be an acceptable rate for me too. It's not so much the time to cook as it is the number of cycles.

Do you have a link or specs for something like your oven

I've been checking out PCing bullets and it has a lot of advantages but the bottleneck in production is the oven capacity. I do mostly tactical handgun shooting and I cast up 1000 at a time. ...

Thanks Beard & Bonz. From what you've said it looks like I should stay between 6 - 8gns with a 158gn LSWC.

Interestingly Alliant does give a .38Sp load of 5.4gns of PP for 158gn LSWC. I think...

I need some advice, please. I just scored 3lbs of Alliant Power Pistol. I've never used this powder but in these times of scarcity I was glad to get it. I was hoping to load up some .357mag ...

Thanks all for your responses. Alliant Steel is available. Apparently Mike McNett from DoubleTap Ammo tried it in 10mm and several others followed suit. Seems it's difficult to meter and gave...

Well my powder supply is getting low and I can't find any pistol powders to buy. I've been reloading .357/38Sp/9mm/.380acp using Bullseye/Win231/Blue Dot/H110 (the last two for .357 mag). I cast...

Sure skill and attitude are very important, but the weapon counts for something too. After all we aren't carrying nan chucks in our holsters.

I've been using it to clean take black burned residue off pots and burner rings. It's the only thing that works. Ammonia is very effective on stuff that hasn't been completely carbonized.

I use...

Indeed. Almost any gun is good enough if you practice enough.

I carry 5shot j frame or a 6 shot DAO revolver and rarely carry reloads. I just don't see it as likely that more will make a...

Then I am corrected. I ship FedEx and my recollection is that they do require 2 day Express which cost about $35. My "knowledge about UPS is second hand and I've never shipped a rifle. I should...

Yeah really. One well placed hit is worth a whole cylinder of spray and pray, no matter how fast. Cops are generally not good shots. Generally that is, some are very proficient. Having to carry a...

That's right, an individual can ship to an FFL anywhere in the US. I've bought and sold a number of guns that way. However a non FFL is not allowed to use USPS, only an FFL. Fedex and UPS will...

It's his time and his business and he can charge whatever he wants and you are free to accept or reject. In my area, the gunstore charges $40 while my gunsmith wants $20. It usually takes him 5-10...

I've shot about 800 of these through my LCP. I don't size the bullets. I get very good accuracy (for that kind of gun) and absolutely no leading. I use 2.6gn Bullseye

Thanks, fechmech. That's exactly what I wanted to know. Can I ask what bullet you are using and what OAL? The manuals give such widely varying ranges for powder loads on similar bullets that...

I'm reloading for my LCP. 2.6gn Bullseye with Ranch Dog 95gn RF.

I've been loading the bullets unsized, they are .358+. They shoot great but a bit hotter than I expected. Absolutely no...

The small powder bar is sloppy in the slot. I miked it about 3 thou undersized. It goes together with a spacer to make up for the missing height of the rifle powder bar. I glued a piece of...

The rubber bands came from my kitchen rummage drawer, not Dillon :) Despite the fact that they look very classy, I will contact Dillon for the proper return springs. I'm at 7000' and the ozone...
