    I set all moulds, even iron and steel, on a 5th burner sprue plate down and pre-heat them slowly on about a medium setting, as soon as I start the pot. Even on a brand new mould, usually the first...

    And that's half the battle, getting over how it looks. I bet a reamer would clean that right up and avoid setting back for a couple more thousand.

    Agreed, I really like it. My load for my 44 Magnum BFR IS over book max, depending on the source you look at... two sources its a full grain under max, some it's over. 270gr cast boolit, works well....

    Pressure is more of a killer of a barrel than heat. It takes an awful lot of shooting to get a barrel hot enough to do any serious damage. I think one of the reasons we see so much forcing cone...
  5. Magnum Forcing Cone Erosion. A Better Way?

    It's no mystery to any of us that enjoy shooting magnum handguns that forcing cone erosion is a very real reality. It is most commonly seen with double base spherical powders like W296/H110, 2400, or...

    Doesn't take much. It's less likely with antimonial alloy bullets but I've seen it happen. It's mostly a problem with BPCR long range bullets. The shortest bullet I shoot is just shy of 1.35 at...

    Very easy. Long, BPCR long range bullets cast from tin lead alloys bend in lubrisizers very easily. I've also see bullets cast from antimonial alloys get bent in a lubrisizer if they're too...

    I requested a test sample a few years ago and loaded up some test ammo but I never got around to shooting it. It definitely has alox in it, and it's very sticky. I personally wouldn't want to pan...

    That's the main point of a wad, protecting the base of the bullet. It's the most important part. Without it you will never see the type of accuracy you expect, past 300 yards anyways.

    I'm not saying it's the best by any means but White Label 50/50 has always treated me well. It's smoky and smelly though. I've always wondered how their blue compares to LBT.

    I have a lot of milsurps so if I order a 30 caliber mold it's usually .314. I lubrisize all my smokeless bullets so if it's necessary I can just size it down. I rarely shoot anything under .311.

    For the most part no, unless it's a new mold, or I change alloys.

    For BPCR match bullets, +/- 2/10ths of a grain is max. Most of my casting is +/- 1/10th. For smokeless rifle (usually just...

    For some reason I doubt the average game warden knows very much about original BPC's. To the untrained eye a 40/82 looks like a straightwall case.
