That's very interesting because I've been pulling the odd loaded bullet and noticing some are being swagged down; like the pressure of just seating a large bullet is perhaps causing the swagging...

I think my chrono problem had to do with some patches of snow near the tripod on the ground that was reflecting light back up to the underside of the very shiny light blue bullets, compared to the...

Well I hate to admit you're right since you're a Glock Fan (kidding!), but I was out today and finally got some realistic readings. I didn't get any bullet tumbling today at any load amount which I...

Well I now have a bunch of reloads with bullets I took a black marker too, so hopefully I'll get some readings tomorrow. The forecast is mostly cloudy but bright, so maybe that will work better. At...

Is it possible that the more slippery coating results in lower pressures which needs more powder to achieve the same velocities? Or maybe the layer of PC doesn't engage the rifling as well as bare...

Most folks get 157 to 158 grains from this mold with WW lead. I'm no exception. .358 is perfect for my CZ barrels, it swags them down and zero leading with plain lubed bullets, even after 100's of...

As my post states, yes... I had the sky-screens on.

My main problem is keyholes (tumbling), about 1 out of 10.

The bullet alloy is clip-on WWs dropped from the 9mm Lyman mold #356637 and weight about 158 gr, .358 in diameter. I shoot these out of...

I've tried Princess Auto's powder with just some success. I find it doesn't flow incredibly well when baking, and an even thin coat is difficult to achieve. I tried the blue colour.

I had much...

My 20# Lee magnum melter made for ladling contains a thermostat (part #EL3466). Perhaps some Lee melters do use rheostats instead since I haven't tried them all. The 20# Lee MM is either off, or...

Apart from easier bullet seating, the bevel aids in boolit placement (deeper seating depth) when shooting oversized lead boolits that might otherwise bulge the case too much for reliable chambering. ...

Well it turns out that the epoxy is better than the J-B weld. It seems to flow a bit better for molding. It also is a bit more flexible and conforms to small imperfections in bullet bases better...

I don't think there's anything wrong with my wife's gun itself. The trigger is very nice on it, and even double action is exactly where she wants it to be. While the barrel is nearly as large as...

Alright, here's a pic of one I'm making using an epoxy just for fun:

The paper around it forms the mold that I filled with J-B Weld. ...

Interesting Bob, now that you mention it the Frontier 147gr plated bullets powered by 3.5gr of N320 keyhole every once in awhile in the Shadow. I haven't seen the 356637 keyhole even once in any 9mm...

The only CZ we had slugged was my wife's Shadow she uses for IPSC, and it came out to about .357". I figured it would give me an indication of where my 75B was as well. So I size Lyman 356637 to...

Well I've done a few thousand so far without replacing it. It still seems to be in good shape. Sadly I didn't take any pictures doing it the first time, but I plan on making some with epoxy as...

The problem I'm referring to being solved is the beveled part of the boolit base being filled with lube as if it were a lube groove. I've tried everything suggested before on this and other forums...

I find pan lubing them leaves their bases clean enough. (Grease and beeswax 50/50 mix.) Plus it's fast if you're shooting them as cast without sizing.

My wife puts up with a lot, like me using the stove in the kitchen for making boolit lube. Unfortunately, she draws the line when it comes to shooting my 12 gauge indoors.

I'm interested too. Would you have a video or anything showing it in action?

Thanks for the info guys. I feel a bit better now. But it does have me wondering if perhaps I should formulate a winter lube that's even softer? It's only going to get colder here as we get into...

I'm shooting Lyman #356637 boolits as cast, water-quenched from WW alloy in my CZ Shadow. My lube is about 50-50 mix of beeswax and moly extreme pressure black grease. I pan lubed them. The...

FN is a style of wheels on cars, normally fancy spoked and from Japan. The WW's are probably for those model vehicles. I've seen them too, in lead and iron so far.

Of course as a Jeep and Ford...

Goodness, I find it even hard to melt pure lead stick-on's when doing my wheel weights. Normally they come off when I scoop the zinc, iron, and clips, but I sort them out for adding later to the...
