Wonderful work Cris, very impressive job mate.
If I am not mistaken, in your imageshack pics it looks as if you have cleaned up some 6.5x68 RWS cases?
Excellent caliber, my favourite jacketed...

Hey there Nate,
I use a Marlin XLR 45-70 almost exclusively with cast boolits, ranging from 260gn to 535gn boolits.
A gas burner stove will provide you the means to melt your alloy, I would...

Even down here, Starline brass is priced better than the other brands.
I use it exclusively in the 45-70 now, both yellow brass and nickle plated.
I am on my 8th reload on one batch of Starline...

Good to hear mate, I was given 8 kilos ( 20lb) of WST sometime ago. I was given some good advice from members on this site for its use in my .38 Super. I now have a 9mm CZ 75B and will try out your...

Yes, they look great Brian.
Now, stop playing around with this little stuff and do the same for 6.5 thru to .458"

Nice work indeed Wonderwolf !
I am struggling with sizing 9mm cases down to .366"/ 9.3 at the moment. I have made a die from 4140 and a punch to push the 9mm case through base first. Using a...

Gents,
I see quite a few die makers are emerging frequently, a good thing for sure. I have read the posts with great interest as I work on my own swage dies. These will be for personal use and not...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
At what temperature does CR have issues with? I read Gears' post on cold climate's not being ideal for CR.
I have loaded up some 9.3 and 45-70 boolits lubed with CR for hunting in the next few...

Making up and selling 'hobby packs' is a great idea mate.
Some mates and me have got some coming in and we are going to coat our own cast boolits at home.
I am surprised that you are the only...

I use cast in my .300 win too.
For shooting small stuff like bunnys and fox, I use 18.0gn of Trail Boss under a NOE 311299 HP. Alloy for this is 50/50 of air cooled WW and lead. Lube is Rooster...

Max, do those nice big boolits function through a Marlin lever gun mate?

Hi Gents,
First let me say thanks for all the advice and offers of help.
Marvelous attitudes by all.

They are too deep mate, I have looked over them, they are not my rounds.
I too have the verniers set up and spot check every 50 or so on the Dillon.

Do yourself a big favour Blammer, get rid of that .35 Whelen mate!
Then get yourself a 9.3x62mm, its a better cartridge and shoots nice with cast.

The 9.3x62mm has been around longer than the 30-06, it has taken all African DG and is a great cartridge to use.
On a serious note, I have seen a resurgence in...
A +1 for Marine Tex, great stuff, I use it to bed actions as well.
A rub of tru oil on Lee's handles seems to help too. Makes them look a bit purty even!
