I have more than a few Glock pistols. All but 2 have Lone Wolf barrels. That said, I do shoot lead through the 2 stock barrels BUT, I'm absolutely fanatical about cleaning (yes, I'm a little OCD...

My local, 1 man, gun shop had 1k large pistol mag in stock that I grabbed. Paid $35. I asked the owner when he might get some SP or SR in and he replied "No idea. Anything that even looks like a...

I had the same problem with my new Arsenal molds. Synthetic 2 cycle oil and a sort of push - pull on the handles worked for me.(push lightly on one handle and pull on the other side)

I went a little wild with my recent paint order. I went with a green called "7-up", "safety orange" and "Bonded Viking Stainless Steel".

I'm in the process of building a dedicated casting/powder...

Hope all of you are having a great Friday! I had a great Thursday night powder coating some 9mm (Arsenal 358-125 PC and Lee 452-200-RF) respectfully.

I ordered 3 lbs of powder from PBTP, Wet Black...

I'm not a machinist but, as a finish carpenter for many years, I definitely know quality craftsmanship when I see it and the molds I received are beautifully made.

As I mentioned, I haven't been...

Hello everyone.

The night before last I had the most enjoyable casting session I've had in the 6 months I've been casting.

I ordered two molds from Arsenal a while back and finally...

I apologize for not looking closely enough at the pics that have been posted. My recovered boolits look like the ones in Triplebeards post.

I've been using Eastwood powders and baking for 20 minutes in a thermometer verified oven.

Yesterday evening I recovered some boolits from my trap. (Lee 356-120 TC coated with Ford Lite Blue) Lead...

I've had some odd deliveries with Midway recently too. My order for ( in-stock items) might arrive in 3 days or 2 weeks.

I have a G19 that needs to go back to Glock but I cringe at shipping it...

9mm
40 S&W
45 ACP

Hopefully, if we run this poll in a year my response will look a little more impressive...

Here's an update that sure makes the bad cavity idea make sense. I cleaned the die and went ahead and sized a few more and most were sized evenly around the entire boolit. The grooves are still being...

I will definitely try de-leading it. I read that 50/50 peroxide and white vinegar work well for removing lead. Maybe I will try that.

I was thinking about this problem again last night and...

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks guys. I know I ran the mold too hot. I'd never casted that small/light of a boolit before and I guess I got caught up in the excitement of dropping so many boolits without having to beat the...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will definitely try eliminating the silicone.

I know the sizing die is good as I've sized and shot several hundred boolits that have passed through it.

No...

Happy Saturday everyone,

I used the search function but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

I have a new Lee .358 - 105-SWC mold. The boolits are dropping between .359 and .360. I...

Hey everyone,
I should have bought a lottery ticket on the day I ordered my 2 new Lee molds. I got a 358-105 SWC and a 401-175 TC. I followed all the steps I've learned from you all for cleaning,...

Just my .02 here but I use srp's in several pistol loads-not just for the heck of it but because of the EXTREME shortage of spp's in my area. I lucked out and was able to buy 5,000 srp's. I treated...

I found a 24 muffin pan that I use for coww. I use what seems to be an big old steel ice tray for pure. It makes a perfect 1 lb cube which is pretty handy. The thrift store had 2 of them but for...

Yes they are! Helps take the sting out of the buckets from the tire shop that are 80% everything But pb!

Hello everyone,

First of all I wanted to thank you for all the knowledge you've passed on. You have taught me to cast. (correctly) Having so much experience in one place is priceless. I've never...
