Excellent answer. Thank you very much.

I'm sure the answer to my question is on this site but the site is so comprehensive I just didn't know where to look.

I've been around for awhile but never really sunk my teeth into casting...

I certainly can't argue with good advice. You're right about loading a few at a time to start and I will do that from now on. Thank you.

And Hip, you're not sticking your nose where it doesn't...

I really appreciate it, guys.

The bullets are bulk I bought on Gunbroker. Don't know brand. They're jacketed soft point with a sharp nose. Bullet length is 1.085.

I appreciate this info. I'm under the 47 grains. I'm using 46.7 grains. Think I'm okay?

Thanks Mr. Cowboy. Appreciate it.

I'm so stupid. So angry at myself.

I've been reloading 30-06 for my M1 Garand.

I bought bulk bullets on Gunbroker and was told they were 150 grain.

Well, being a newbie, I forgot to weigh...

Mr. Bear, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my queries.

I don't know the brand name of the bullets. I bought them off of gunbroker in bulk.

Yes, I am using the Lee factory crimp...

It fails to eject. It seems like it is hanging up between the clip and the bolt.

Mr. Bear, thank you for your post. I am using IMR 4895, 46 grains, for the 150 grain jacketed soft point. I am using RCBS X-dies for sizing and seating.

I have read all the threads on cast bullets...

Sorry, I'm using the Lee Factory crimp die for the 30-06.

MP, I'm using a 150 grain Soft Point. It's a sharp pointed bullet.

The cannelure is about a 1/4th inch above the case mouth.

I'm using the Lee Universal crimp die on the cartridges.

I've...

Thank you so much guys, that what I needed to know. You're a great help.

Wally, thanks for your reply.

I already have these bullets and want to use them. I'm loading for my M1 Garand so I've got to make sure it fits the magazine, as you said.

All else being equal,...

Hi yall,

I have all the casting equipment and molds but haven't gotten up the courage to try it yet. But I soon will.

Right now, I'm trying to reload 30-06 cartridges. My bullets have a...

Thank you for your replies. Very much.

Going towards the 2.294, I think.

I know this is a really ignorant question but I'm not very mechanical so need some help.

When reading a digital caliper......

If the maximum cartridge length is supposed to be 2.494 and you...

To Bruce and NV,

Thanks a lot for the replies.

That's much needed information.

Yes, I'm going to be shooting cast in it. I've actually never fired the rifle. It's brand new.

I have bought...

I'm finding that resizing my military brass takes a lot of power on the reloading arm to resize the cases? Much more difficult than commercial. Is this normal?

I appreciate all the replies you guys, however, I'm a little confused.

I understand that LC brass is thicker than commercial.

I'm also concerned whether 40 grains of IMR 4895 will cycle in my...

Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate it.

TJ

I'm using LC 92 brass.

Thanks, Do. I was dreading taking apart almost 200 cartridges.........whew!!!!!

Everything I load right now is minimum loads. Because as an inexperienced reloader I want to minimize everything I...
