I have no trouble keeping a full pot good and warm. I have installed a PID, and have set the regulator on the pot to full blast. Checking your thermostat seems to be a good idea.

I have been using this powder in 308, 45-70 and 450 Marlin. Good powder! And good information on Vihtavouri's website.

@jmorris I found your pictures very helpful after a quick tutorial on how to read a caliper set for inches :-) Thanks a lot

I am looking into making a seater plug for wide flat nosed bullets. But I am away at work and do not have access to my reloading dies.
Is there anybody with this die available that could take...

Looks like they sent you a winged front sight first. I have ordered one Skinner sight, and that came with the appropriate screws. For unscrewing the aperture I would use some needle nose pliers with...

Have you strapped the rifle firmly? And did you strap down the rifle when you used the iron sights? If you have applied pressure on top of the rifle, is it possible that the fore stock flexes with...

I have had the same experience with these thin strips of metal. I can not say for sure that all of the wont melt, but I fish out quite a few every time I melt down some lino. This is lino from Norway

Would you be willing to share the load data? Did you have to seat the bullet past the crimp groove?

Anybode else have any experience loading heavy boolits in the 358 Winchester?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks again :-) But, unfortunately, Winchester powders are also unawailable in Norway. We can get some Hodgdon powders but mostly I use Vihtavouri, Lovex and Norma.

Thanks a lot for the answer! Interesting. Sadly I cant get 3031 powder in Norway. But an interesting datapoint!:-P

I am considering getting a new mold for my 358 Winchester. I was thinking of a bullet weight between 250 and 300 gr. and would like to get it flying around the 2000fps mark. But I am having...
Hi. Are you powder coating the bullets, or using regular lube? If powder coating in the 1100 til 1300 fps range, I do not think you will need gas checks. If you use regular lube, you probably will....

Very interesting!! I might have to try that. It might not give you "true" BHN-readings, but will be a very good way to sort different alloys!
I have used it for leather crafts. Wallets and the like. I like it a lot. Easy to apply an does not get to sticky. Also uses it on hiking boots to good effect.

I have access to x-ray films with lead backing. The lead has paper glued on to the front and back. If you soak the lead in water for 10 min or so, the paper glides right of. I tried once to melt the...
