I've used one of these to carry another liter of water and have a hot drink or lunch on especially cold days afield for many years. It's just a purpose built can stove with nesting cup and flask -...

Froggie,

You are very welcome, and merry Christmas to you and yours.

I started with mentors that were RCBS diehards, and soon having a bench and its drawers full of it used nothing else until...

Check here: http://leeloaderdata.com/index.htm

They list, sell, and archive data and instructions for the Lee Loaders old and new.

If they're almost spheres dusted with powdered sugar and like shortbread, but better yet; yes and they are good.

A friend of my parents used to bake them a gift tin full every Christmas, and I...

FortuneCookie45LC on YT did a good 19 video video book on casting and loading the very similar Lee design:

Hornady elliptical expanders.
I sit and watch TV and do 8 to 9.3mm with a hand press.

Great story. Great scenery.
Congrats on your bucks.

At .355 it's 9x57 Mauser from around 1900.

At .358 and AIed it's a funny named wildcat, 357(or 8) Mauser Wallop -- within a sneeze of a Whelen.

And woods hunting / loafing carbines should weigh less than a long ton.

Congratulations, both on the successful hunt and on tackling new and demanding pursuits at a time that too many think that they must slow down.

M70s will shoot nice groups, especially the push...

Nicely done on both deer and rifle.

I, then, misunderstood.
I thought that the plastic was kept over the lube and the bullets pulled up through it, shaping the lube much as those plastic plates that shape Play-do in kids' toys.

Have you shot any yet?

They may work as is with no more investment of your time and money.

You serious casters are working at such high levels of tailor made boolits, that you forget that most...

Good idea, and one that will let me easily fix some commercial cast 9.3s that lost their lube.

Wow, I love pecan pies; but thought that they would be a bit difficult to make.

Your Mom's recipe is going to push me to give it a try -- may have to buy the crusts, though.

Many, now, seem very optimistic.

I'll wait for two things before I say that we're safe:

Obama to serve his last day.

Trump to live up to the pro Second position paper produced for him by the...

It's already begun!
I went for primers and powders last week:
LGSes were stripped bare of primers and had some powder quantity but very limited selection.
I had to go to a national chain's store...

Nice ladle casting setup!

Thanks, information and the linked Fryxell and Toughness.

I'd read Fryxell and I thought that 94/2/4 was close enough to his COWW + tin general purpose alloy.

The 50/50 I have a small supply...

The alloy calculator in Reloader's Reference says that this is what I get if I combine two recent lead buys sweetened with one bar each of the 50/50 solder of which I've a small stash.

Newbie with...

Nah, you gave me two good tips:

1) Heavy duty stainless will work well, in addition to cast iron.

2) Four quart is big enough for my smelting needs when I find some lead to smelt.

These are...

Maybe.

I'm an absolute beginner, as my many questions elsewhere show; but this, for what it is worth, is what I'm working with / at for my technique where the ladle and mold remain in my hands:
...

Your setup is very close to what I think I want for my first iteration, except two quart and for ladle casting.

I don't need to smelt. I can't find any lead to smelt. I have to just buy ingots and...
