IMHO, these are the best: ROWELL LADLES

There's one right now on eBay (item #170377348290).
Definitely Phelps, they were blue and it has those column-like reinforcements where the lube cylinder goes into the base - Star doesn't have that.

Great idea, ph4570!
I took two paper clips and a spring that just happened to be the right length and it took me 10 minutes to make it.

Finding casting equipment in Croatia is almost impossible, very few people are into it. But it's not a big problem because of the almighty internet - I can order anything from USA (well, almost...

I got it with the heater and sizing dies in .356, .357 and .358 (for 9mm and .357MAG) and a top punch for those. I'll be using Jake's Purple Ceresin.
I havent used it yet so don't ask me how it...

Redding Competition seating die - at first I wasn't sure I can justify the cost, but it's worth it.

I used their small pistol primers and they are very good. They usually cost almost twice than CCI or Winchester (at least around Europe).
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Let's say you have pure lead, antimony and tin. How do you make an alloy of it?
In which order do you melt these three and at which temperatures?
(I've read somewhere that if you put antimony in...

I also use ultrasonic cleaner. I used citric acid but it would etch the brass if I left it in over 5 minutes, so I switched to white vinegar. I leave the cases in for about 6-7 minutes and they come...

I'm using Rex 2 in .357 and 9mm and I am satisfied with the results. However, it does not meter well because of its shape.
I find your MAX loads a little on the low side since I load 4.6gr in 9mm...

Also try to avoid melting joints. I understand there might be zinc in there and you don't want zinc in your alloy. Maybe Jim knows more about it as I'm not sure what type of lead pipe solder was used...

Although majority of my reloading equipment is RCBS, I highly recommend Redding dies (I have their 9mm Luger three die set).
A few days ago while sizing and decapping 9mm cases, one case got stuck...

Thank you for quick responses.
I'm in no hurry, so I'll keep an eye on eBay, something always comes up...

I've tried eBay with no results... :confused:

Hi from Croatia!
No questions so far from me.
While waiting for my equipment to arrive I'm learning as much as I can. I've been reloading for a while now but didn't cast my own "boolits" - time...
