I've been running the Lee 252-200-RF and 252-255-RF in my Kimber and SA Ronin. They feed fine and seem to shoot as well as the RCBS 200 SWC. They have a big metplat and I've resprung my Kimber to...

Very nice effort and great result. My kind of project. Any reason you didn't go with the rimless 44 Automag? Brass is pretty easy to form from .308 or 30-06 and should be able to use a standard...

Off season around here is usually below freezing so several years ago I invested in a used Crossman MAR177 PCP upper....

Any specific reason not to PC? Seams a lot of people are doing it with no negative affect on accuracy. Not dead set against using lube but my understanding has always been that the lube has...

Fair comments Larry. I didn't expect to fall into success, because like you mentioned, if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I am going to give it a try though, even if i have to reduce range...

Thanks, that is definitely one that I was not aware of. Can't seem to find a dimensional print for it on the site, how long is that bullet? I'm concerned with how deep it would be seated to fit in...

Looking for been there done that suggestions for an accurate cast bullet at better than moderate velocities in the AR. I'm hoping to shoot more this season and part of that is reducing cost by...

Buy a micrometer and learn how to use it. Micrometer, not a caliper. Doesn't have a be a $200 one. A decent used 1" one can usually be had for $20-$40. If it has a tenths scale so much the better,...

I just got a 16" 300BO upper assembly from Palmetto State for $230 without the BCG. I already have several lowers so this was the cheapest way for me to get going. Depending on the shops you have...

Get the biggest, most capable cleaner you can afford. The "reloader" brands are just relabeled imports of some persuasion and there are better quality and features available. Pre-heater is a nice...

Now you’ve got me thinking. I’m using an original H&I sizer that apparently cuts as much as it sizes. There seems to be a shoulder involved. Seller I got it from here said that can be honed out to...

I haven't heard from NOE but it's holiday season. I can give a small quantity of the Sage checks a try. Thanks for the reference.

I put in an email to NOE. I've got three boxes of these checks that all look like they are from the same time frame and have same price tag stickers. I think before I modify the mold, I'd try a...

I've cast my first bullets out of a NOE 287 - 150 FN silhouette four banger that I picked up here several years ago. Didn't look like it has been use much if any. The nose and main diameters look...

I recently picked up some 376 Steyr brass here and now I have to build a rifle to use it. Looking for thoughts on good lead hunting bullet designs for deer, elk, and black bear. I think something...

That’s pretty darn close to 1:1. Thanks.

Thanks Larry, there's some helpful data in there that will get me going. I also ran across the big thread about getting velocity and accuracy above 2000fps "The Components of going faster" and...

Therein lies the problem. All the lead bullet data I have in the books use relatively fast powders that can't be compared with the medium fast rifle powders the 35 Rem uses with jacketed bullets.
...

I've been searching but not finding much good information. I'm going from jacketed to powder coated cast bullets in my 1956 Marlin 336 .35 Rem. It's been fire lapped and shoots pretty well with...

Lathe would be my first choice though a BP with a boring head might be quicker to setup. In the lathe dial the hole in on the four-jaw chuck and use a stiff small boring bar to remove what you want. ...

A lot of target rimfire barrels are done like that, you don't have to worry about clocking extractor cuts. Saves time, thus cheaper. Nothing wrong with it as long as there is a little bit of a...

I have very little storage space, so it is going to go under my bench in the combo reloading room/machine shop/furnace room in the basement. I was going to make a few plywood boxes that would stack...

I'm going to start playing with my 460 Rowland kit. I have some RCBS 45-200 that seem to fit the longer case while keeping OAL in check. I've cast some @11 bhn or so for my 45acp and powder coated...

The marking info was helpful. I was wondering how to do it without multiple letters. I may put the BHN from the Lee tester on the finished mixes too.

I've got a few extra air cylinders in the cabinet with 3/4 and 1" piston diameters. Should be pretty easy to fab up a fixture and figure out the pressure needed to give 60lbs on the rod end. I can...
