So I'm at work and get a text from the wife saying she heard something strange by the front door. After a little convincing I got to her looked out the side window that overlooks the front of the...
One of the frustrating parts of this whole process is not really being able to talk to someone or have them looking over your shoulder, mentoring along the way. So may things get lost when using...
Thanks for the input. All my brass is mixed. I'll see if I can get a good pic of the barrel, If I had to guess I've put 1500 or so factory loads through it, if it matters. Accuracy is great with...
Looking for some opinions. New to casting and reloading. Have a Sig P320 with heavy leading. Do I go with a new mold or go the PC route?
Setup is 50/50 WW, Lee 356-124-RN (drop at .357, 129gr),...
Thanks for the reply
Slugged right at 355. The mold is dropping at 357.
Went through the dies last night and my expander die is setup maybe a little to big as the boolit will slide down the...

addictive is right. buy a pistol, think to self "rounds are $$ I can save some money, I'll reload! oh wait I can save (shoot) more if I cast!" 400 lbs of WW's later......Just 6000 more reloads and...

Thanks everyone, nice to know those are shootable. I stuck it in the pot but never really came out clean. Guess that's the first sign that its not hot enough.
I'll reclean the mold, bump the pot...

So I did my first round of casting tonight. Took awhile to get some good drops.....well I thought I got some good drops until I went through them. Lee 326-124-RN. 50/50 mix SOWW, COWW, pot around...

Sig P320 - A buddy slugged it at 357, I'm going to slug it again just to make sure. Ill look into lube some more. I like the idea of lazy, something that is "kiss - keep it stupid simple" but would...

I'm not stuck on the weight -

I was thinking of going with Hi-Tek coatings

Hey guys/gals,
Looking for recommendations on where to get my mould from. .358 - 124gr - flat base (Sig P320)
