I have a few NEI molds that I recently purchased. The two cavity molds work fine with my RCBS mold handles, but the the 4 cavity mold has a thinner cut out where the molds attach. I measured it...

Thanks! I just sized a bunch of my NEI 166s using a Lyman 495 and it worked great.

I recently purchased several .358 NEI bullet molds and I need to get top punches for them. Is there an online document that shows the recommended punches?

I loaded a bunch of 358 ACME 125 grain FPPC bullets over 5.0 grains of True Blue and the same accuracy I was getting with 158 grain Rainier plated HPs at 7 and 10 yards (the furthest distance at the...

I have an 8x58R Danish Krag that I may try these bullets out in. I don't have any gas checks. I am going to get an old table outside to set the pot on.

Thanks, found that thread. I am probably not going to mess with them.

Does anyone have any experience shooting 75 grain wadcutters? I think this would be good for 38 short colt loads.

You are right about that. That pot has sat full of lead for over 20 years, I moved it from CA to FL to WA.

I got my old bottom pour melter (not sure of the nomenclature) out of storage. I wasn't sure if it was going to work so I set it up on the ground. That was a mistake because it wasn't very...
