Vearl,
Been shooting the NOE 246-105FN sized to .246"-.2465 and Ben's Red for lube out of two different .243 Wins. One is a mid '70 Rem 700 and the other a 15 year old Browning A-Bolt. I get good...

Great tip from RFR! I picked this up from him a while back and is so simple that I never thought of it. You have a little lube on your fingers from handling the bullets, so just twirl the outside of...

Looking good! I don't think you will have any problem with that alloy.

Got new dies today. They size right where I wanted them to. Excellent work, again!

I know you said you did not want to lube but a little lube never hurts. A little lanolin-alcohol mixture will stop your problem and also make the press run with about half the effort whe sizing. I...

Jon,
Sorry for your loss. It has been almost seven years since I lost my Dad and not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of him. Treasure your memories of your Dad, sounds like he was a...

I have TDS phone and DSL and am connected. Never had a problem with getting on any particular website. The DSL modems they give out are pure garbage. Sometimes they will work fine for months, other...

Just opened my last pound of 231. Really would like to find some more.
Forum: Casting Equipment
That is a bummer. I started having problems with the bullets taking a lot more force than usual to push back out of my 450. After a little checking I found that one of the through bolts on the...
Good to see them back. First thing I did when I got my GP-100 was trash the Hogues and buy a set of these to put on. Back then Brownells was the only place that had them, but they were only about...

+1 on Brian Enos. Free shipping if you buy enough and he always has the time to help you outon your decisions through email or phone. I have found him to be very down to earth the few time I have...

Yonky will set you up with about any size of precut strips you desire. If you are looking for aluminum a lot of us use the .014" thick Amerimax flashing. Works good for .30 cal and it is a little...

Just wanted to thank al you guys for all the hard work. I really like the XCB bullet although I don't go for the higher velocities. It is still a great bullet at 1700 fps in .30'06 with 1-10" twist....

Works great for me and others. I use 3.4 gr in .38 special and 4.0 gr in .357 mag brass. Haven't chronoed the .38 but .357 gives 815 fps out of my 4" GP-100 and the wifes 4" M66.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I started using it fr the same reason as you olcanadice. I had an ammo can of old Speer or Hornady LRN that would lead everything, until i washed the factory lube off with mineral spirits and lubed...
I have the cheapy from Walmart also. Put a thick piece of aluminum on top to hold heat. A hotplate was the bestcasting tip I have picked up here. Once the mold is hot, it's hot. You can walk away for...

I think I went to the same show as you today. Haven't seen so much powder in a while. There were even kegs of Universal. I got the last 8 pounder of 2400 there. Very excited! First I have seen in 2...

I don't think you will be disappointed either. I just started my journey with .22 using an older Model 70 in .222 and NOE 225-37-FN and 225-55-FN and Gator checks for now. I am using Ben's Red...

Why didn't I think of that! I will try that next time. Thanks.
I use that load for my general .357 shooting using Lyman 358477 SWC, because that is the charge my Auto-Disk drops. I get right at 940fps out of 4" revolver. I don't find it warm at all, just enough...

I always thought it was a stout looking item. Never have seen one in person before.
Here is a review I scanned out of the August 1988 Guns & Ammo.

Wonderful idea! Just tried this with a half jar of Kosher dills. I could only wait three days, but they sure were good.

Good to remember your Dad. Yesterday was five years since my Dad has been gone. Sure do miss him. He would be 79 now.
