I have been casting 20 years, and I cast in my basement, (I know). I tend to clean lead and cast for a week solid and then go for month and not touch it. I have been tested several times, about 5...

First I am a noe guy already, have the handles ect, I do have the noe 225g 300blk and 135g 9mm pc designs and had great luck. My dad just got a s&w 380 and I am going to start loading for him, what...

I have never owned a 458 socom, but full lead taco has been on rumble with what he calls the moab, 458 socom with a noe 600 grain bullet. Its subsonic and cycles an ar15. Sounds like I could use up...

imashooter2, it is not that I lose a ton of brass, but I would rather have the tools to make it, then go threw another covid shortage and not be able to get it. I do shoot a ton of 300 blk with cast...

The last time ammo got expensive, I shot 9mm, 300blk and 357mag cast in carbines until my primer supply got low, none of those cases use a lot of powder. Then finally got to a point had to put them...

I have 5 gallon buckets of range brass and am tired of not using half of it due to thick necks from converting overseas brass. I am interested in neck turning. But I never have done it before, I...

Right now I have literal tons of lead, but I have already started accumulating zinc. I am an electrician, and a lot of our fittings and parts are zinc, at the end of the job when we clean off the...

I got one yesterday, It never missed one shot, I was doing everything to see how sensitive it is. shot sideways across lanes while it was pointed my target, still got them all. my rifle range has a...

Is there a list of good powders? Or wondering if there is a way to put together a reference page or thread that would show all the good or bad powders for shake-n-bake. Even a spread sheet so you...

Are you a masochist? Sounds cool and a challenge. I know the 17 rem had issues with barrel fouling with j boolits. you could use the hardest most expensive alloy you ever want and get 200 boolits...

Well thanks guys for putting an end to my dreams of 450bm with cast boolits cycling in an ar15. But that is fine maybe I will wait for the ruger gen 2 in 450 to come out. and get a folding chassis...

I have been thinking about a new project gun, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with subsonic heavy 450bm in an ar15. I am wondering if you can get subs to cycle reliably. I was going to...

Don't forget about bismuth alloy (cant use pure). Close to the same temp as lead. But you better have deep pockets.

I believe lead will dry up someday, or at least be banded from shooting. even...

Atfsux, I am going to have to try that coating out, just realized they have a distributor in USA, and it is 100 miles from my house. I am always up to try different stuff out, I use hytek for 300...

I mined and cleaned up 75 lbs of clean lead from the range today with my wife. This is a public range and have never seen a reloader there but I found lavender colored 9mm bullets , about 124 grain...

I kinda gave up on 350 legend, first doesn't feed well in ar15, (I did all the tricks, ramps, mags, removing oring under the extractor) and the feeding issues caused bullet set back and high pressure...

sorry about the delay, just got busy over the holidays then wrecked my dirt bike. Lucky I am just soar. But the powder coat worked better, slight better accuracy and no leading. seamed like the pc...

if i use soft lead no lube, if i have hard lead it just make it a lot easier.

Well I shot 150 rounds, I got the 135 grain bullets supersonic and pushed them a little harder than normal to cause leading if it was going to happen, well I shot ar9, cz shadow 2, s&w single stack. ...

Not sure about the lube you are using, but I use hitek and lube the boolits with hornady one shoot while sizing hard boolits, i just leave it on and load them. Never had a problem. Maybe try that...

loaded up 50 hitek and powder coat, and upped the hp38 charge just a little, going to shoot them tomorrow, if the hitek works, I will probably be sticking with that. I water quenched out...

Thanks everyone, I have some ford blue powder and coated about 75 bullets, the lead is about 10 or 11 when water quenched. I can tell you it is usually so humid around here powder coating can be a...

The lead is mostly fmj from other people, it has a little antimony in it but no were near ww. i also use lyman stainless pro dies so i do not swag the bullets down. I guess i will try hitek first. I...

yea i will test 50 or so, i was just hoping someone had been down this road before. Best part is i am getting free lead. just have to pick out a movie and start casting tomorrow. My son and dad...

I have got lucky and found a good source for free range scrap. I have picked up about 200-300 lbs the last few trips. I have always use strait ww and hitek with no problems ever in 9mm or 300blk. ...
