Well, I have somewhat cooled off on my pursuit of casting rifle bullets. It seems there is way more to casting and shooting rifle bullets than I originally thought. You folks answered my questions,...
Is that because the extra thickness of the PC pushes the bullet too far into the lands? What is the "jump" at that length?
My AR's and Rem 700 have very long throats. Checking with several...
I'm digesting all the good advice. I appreciate everyone's time.
I am most interested in trying the 30 XCB. I don't see them on MBW or anyone else's site. Is there any known source of these...
Yes, currently almost all my 308 shooting is in my AR platform. I do have bolt action and a Win 100. At this time, I am well stocked in jacketed bullets. My desire to shoot cast is to simply learn...
Thanks for the responses. That has answered a lot of my thoughts directly. I really didn't realize that shooting cast boolits was so finicky in higher velocity rifle applications. I will say that...
Well, I read a lot of posts with velocities North of 2500fps and thought that would be reasonable goal. Is leading the issue or is it that accuracy suffers with increased velocity? Or both? I...
I have been wanting to find a 308 cast boolit for those "just in case" times. I am fairly new to casting and PC but have the equipment. I would like to find a 150gr or close boolit and be able to...

I have it rewired now as stated above. The hot wire runs through the PID controlled relay and to the + side of SSR. I will attach neutral to the - side. I should have the AC SSR in next week. ...

I was responding before I saw you second post. Will this work?...
Forum: Casting Equipment
So it seems my PID doesn't generate the DC power that is required for my SSR. So do I need an AC input SSR and jump power to one side of the controlled relay on the PID, say pin 3. Then go from pin...

Here is what I have. It doesn't state TA4 on the display however.
Just TA.

I cannot get any output from the PID either AC or DC. This is on the 3 and 4 pin. It does show continuity when active and open when off between those pins.
As far as SSR I don't know if its AC...
Forum: Casting Equipment
I need help troubleshooting my PID that I just assembled. I am using a Mypin PID and Inkbird SSR. I believe it is wired correctly per the included diagram and those on this forum. The PID comes on...
