Well I gota scrub it down a bit better as one cav is wrinkly but it makes nice boolits and works great on alignment. with my 20:1 they drop at about 180-181gr. So I will scrub it down again to get...

The Lee molds are in stock again and I got one. Ordered a 401-175-tc 2 cav mold from midway. when I pulled it from the box I was in total shock. It was beautifully machined with steel alignment pins....

I will also chime in on the relo in glock. If you have a gen 3 or gen 4 glock you should be fine. I have sent thousands of reloaded rounds down my gen 3 g19 and around 1500 cast. My carry rounds are...

I use a 357/38 mold sized to .357. it is a lee 358-125-rf for 9mm in my glock 19. It works great. As for a 40 I have not cast any yet. I have put 1500 of them through my glock with vary little...

Um.. The UMC in the Remington UMC stands for used military case. They are factory reloads. I have gotten a case like that and after tumbling it was fine. I wash, dry, size/decap, and then tumble....

I like the lee 358-125-rf sized to .357 for my glock 19. Works well in every 9 I have tried it in.

It looks like the pot was a bit cold, bring up the temp.

I use a cast iron tea kettle to smelt my lead with. it was $14 at bi-mart. It will do 40-50# with enough heat. Use good welding gloves when you pour your ingots as the handle gets hot as hell.

Dude, paraffin wax is only $2.99-3.99 a pound in the canning section. Tea candles can be had from a dollar store in bags.

I fully agree with that. The time it takes to make primers is not worth it when you can buy them.
Forum: Special Projects
Oreo, If I could find primers I would just buy them. That is my problem, I shoot up to 1k rounds in a trip to the range and only finding 1 or 2 hundred primers every 2 months will not work for me. I...

Getting the mix consistent with the match heads is proving hard. 1 of 5 worked. I will have to get the pc and sulfur to test. The match heads are just too unstable.

A food dehydrator might be a safer way to do it, but For now it is a toaster oven on low. I had to mix the slurry for a few min and I think It will take 2 loads of the slurry per primer. This my work...

Time will tell. The good part is that this is low cost testing.
Forum: Special Projects
Ok 6 matches in the toaster oven on low for 40 min and no ignition. I might be able to speed up the drying that way.
Forum: Special Projects
Now the trick is a consistent mix. Water by its self is slow drying, perhaps an alcohol to dissolve on the next test. They will light but the drying time is painful. I have about 28gr of mix in the...

Best post of the topic. Put a big smile on my face.
Call it a drip-o-matic all you want, my lee pot works great. I just wish I had gotten the 6 cav mold. I like my lee reloading dies and breachlock challanger press. The lee boolet sizing die, well...

Nice setup. I only get 40# to 50# in my tea kettle, but I don't have the space you do. Not to mention 2,000# is well past my needs at this point. 200-400# is more my range to reach. If I ever have...

Slug your bore. I use a 38/357 mold. Lee 358-125-rf mold sized to .357. I have shot over 1500 in my glock and other 9mm pistols. The round flat nose feeds great in every gun I have shot it from. You...
