    I've reformed .30-30 Winchester brass to make .375 Win fodder. Haven't use it in full power loads but it suits for plinking with cast bullets.

    I prefer the Lee TL314-85-WC, for which I have a six-cavity mold. Matt's Bullets also used to offer this, but I don't see it anymore on their website.

    I have a quantity of Nosler .22 Hornet brass. One thing about them is the primer pocket being very tight. I had to switch from CCI to Winchester primers to get them to fit.

    I turned the sizer upside down and laid a hair dryer next to it with the heat on. Took about half an hour to melt all the lube out.

    I use a Coleman two-burner white gasoline stove to deal with smelting range lead. A small cast iron plumber's pot goes on top. Cheap, sturdy, and pretty quick once everything's up to speed.

    Diabolo Slugs in Smoothbore

    Is a rifled barrel necessary to stabilize the slugs that resemble an air rifle pellet? I acquired a mold that casts such slugs. The slug has a hollow base.
