Wait... So you bought your last brick of 22lr 15 years ago, and have gone through all of this to find a way to save 14-18 bucks a brick??? It is called inflation, as well as supply and demand. Last...

I will test it on the XRF scanner at work and see exactly what the breakdown is. I will check back later! Thanks.

That is actually my thread. Some members have told me that is too much. I don't want to charge too little but I also don't want to charge too much

All,

I have some lead pipe ive melted, it is dead soft. I have NO idea what the going price for soft lead is. I know a little over $1/lb. At least that is what I've seen.

Would appreciate...

I may have missed it... But how much is the set of dies needed to produce these? They will work in a corbin s-press with a shell holder adapter, correct?

ah okay... Is there a good place to buy jackets? or do most have to make them from tubing?

I'm sorry for all of the dumb questions... I have been doing some reading, but im having trouble finding...

I wonder if I could use a 158gr 9mm boolit to use as cores...

Is it necessary to use lube when swaging lead?

And I am also 99% sure the pointed pin is actually a bottom punch for hollow...

This die has 3 bleedholes on it. What other dies would I need to be able to swage using this die? I guess I am a bit confused. Does this die allow me to take a cut core (non-swaged) and swage a...

Okay - I have been intrigued by swaging for quite a while now, but have been turned away by the cost. Long story short, I stumbled across a Corbin S-Press, a Corbin core cutter, and a die for...

Epoxy is pricey in comparison to PC. That same 8$ can be spent on even quality powder. I get over 1250 rounds out of a half pound of powdercoat

Epoxy is pricey. I'd seriously go PC

Stay away from the ceramic based coatings. They are very hard and I imagine could cause premature barrel wear

I can't think of an easy/clean way to get all of the lube off. I would shoot them and cast up some fresh ones

I'm glad everything worked well for you! Did you say at the minimum load data for that boolit?

Not to hijack this thread, but can you briefly explain why the longest OAL you can run is best for 9mm in all applications?

If it were me, I'd drop my starting load 1 or 2 tenths of a grain. But even at the min load, you should be okay

This. I load the 230gr Lee TC fpr my dads xd, they shoot great. Same thing, I seat the Boolits much deeper , works perfectly.

In my opinion, reloading manuals are good for a baseline, but my ammo hardly ever meets the OAL specs. I ran into similar problems using the Lee 175TC mold for 40sw. I ended up seating my boolit...

Looks to me it could be happening when it is going into battery. I have never loaded 9mm, but I would seat that boolit so the taper is closer to the case mouth. It also appears in the picture that...

i would load a few dummies with a handful of different OAL's and cycle them through your gun. When I do this, I do not slingshot the slide - I hold the tension of the recoil spring back and slowly...

I should have specified... Anyone who used the product with success has baked it.

Just try it.

Not trying to be rude, but everyone here has baked VHT will good success. Why not just try it? Who cares what it says on the can.

Did you ever get those DVD's to bullet maker?

The epoxy coatings need to be baked. There is no way around it. I shot 500-750 ends of VHT coated Boolits before moving to an ES PC method
