That's great Larry, thanks so much. I definitely read your threads when I was researching which mold to get. I had forgotten about them though in the meantime. I will go back through those. Thanks...

Supposed to be 1:12 although I haven't verified that.

I'll give a try with the linotype, thanks.

Hey folks, I have always cast for modest velocity pistol and revolver plinking rounds, or similar levergun ammo, so I've never used anything besides 50/50 WW/Pb and it's always been fine for what I...

I figured out what's going on . . . the sized (new, Starline) brass is 0.417-0.418" at the case mouth. So I'm opening it up to 0.423" to start the boolit, but that's the nominal size it should be. So...

I'll check this but I don't think so, I always seat and crimp in two steps and back the die body way out so it's not applying any crimp.

So yesterday I had something happen I've never experienced before. First time loading 10mm, although I've loaded a lot of .40 S&W.

As always, I very gently expanded the case mouth just enough to...

Thanks guys! Kosh, it's a radial delayed-blowback, something they apparently developed to handle some of these pistol cartridges.

I've got a CMMG Banshee in 10mm and wanting to start loading for it. I've got a bunch of MP 170 gr. WFN solids that I powder coated, but just realized tonight that due to my OCD I stand them all on...

Thanks everyone, I guess I will powder coat and work my way up.

Yes, 50/50 WW and pure.

I've got some .44 cal 265 gr plain base Ranch Dog boolits that I cast water dropped with 50/50 alloy and 2x coats of BLL. I'm wondering how fast I can push these, if at all, in the .44 Magnum. I...

It does the same thing with new or fired cases. I'll call them Monday. I don't remember where I got it, it was a long time ago and I actually bought it by mistake, thinking it was a case gage.

The case holders have a groove in one end that indicates the head end of the case.

I just got the LE Wilson case trimmer with micrometer stop and set it up per the instructions. The first cases I want to trim are 32-20, and I have the Wilson case holder for these. The cases just...

0.430"

Ok, I'm an idiot. I just measured them and they're 0.438" coated and 0.435" as cast. But that's a bit of a problem, because if I size before coating I'll need to lube them and then presumably remove...

Mine is 0.625" OD and 0.375" ID. I was astounded that it bent but the sizing is a decent amount of force. I was also surprised to see it is hollow.

Thanks Ed, I'm sure they'll replace it for free, I just figured maybe I need something more rugged. Maybe I can just insert a smaller diameter steel rod in the factory handle tube.

I bought the Lee Classic Cast single stage press for sizing my boolits and for having a backup single stage to my Forster. I've really loved it, but last night I was sizing powder coated MP 434215 GC...

Thanks guys, I think I'll try some gas checked boolits and keep an eye on the fouling.

Is there a resource other than the manual for disassembly/cleaning of these rifles?

I was at my LGS a while ago and my father showed me a Ruger Deerstalker that was in great shape and what I knew was a good price, so I picked it up. It's an early 60s model.

I just learned though...

If anybody would be willing to drop three or four fired, unsized 41 magnum cases into the mail so I can make a 40 pan lube cutter please drop me a PM. I can send Venmo to cover postage. Thanks!

I've always been careful to keep zinc out of my alloy, but I've got a pot here that doesn't look right. These are wheel wheights I smelted into big boule a few years ago and just now I'm melting them...

bcr here. I'd like a .434, 2 cavity, PB mold with all HP pins please.

This auction is over, and I tried to buy this rifle yesterday. It went for over $2k. They seem to indicate it's factory. Does anyone know when or how many of these Ruger made?
