Thanks Hickory! Never thought of that. Now its doing a much better job!

Trying to load some 45 ACP wadcutters and am trying to size/lube them in an RCBS Lube-A-Matic. Its the old one with the two ended ratchet wrench. Anyway, my die is stamped .452 on the top rim. It has...

I did get in touch with Tim and was able to order the compression die for the 310. What a nice guy! He has been slammed with work since Lyman discontinued the products. Yes, the threads are...

Emailed 310 shop again. No response as of yet. Not in a hurry, can wait for the part. Lee die and comp plug from TOW? This would fit the Lee hand press but not the 310 correct?

Does anyone know if the 310 shop is still operating? I need a 45-70 powder compression die and have emailed them twice and left a voice message on the phone they have listed. Haven't heard anything...

Traded. Thanks.

Is there a way to test and see if it's babbit? Years ago, I posted about 5 joined round ingots I have, that weigh a total of about 25 lbs. Each ingot is marked on top with the words Overland Motor...

Picked up a set of Nickle steel handles marked 30-06. Marked Ideal, Middlefield Conn. USA. No threads in the adaptor hole. Would like to trade for a set of handles that my new Lyman 310 45-70 dies...

Thanks to Green Frog, I understand better what I have now. My alloy set will work for my 45Colt, but alas, the nickel steel 30-06 dedicated tool would have to be reamed to make the 45-70 die fit. Not...

Thank you. I'll try to get some pictures of what I have this afternoon and maybe you can help sort it out.

Melted candle wax is a great way to adjust the amount of powder a case will hold. Just start filling up the case with wax til you get where you want to be. Make a mistake? Dig it or melt it out and...

I have 2 new die sets. One is 45LC the other is 45-70 I'd really like to use them. I think the 45 LC uses small handles and the 45-70, the large ones. I don't have those. I do have an Ideal, steel...

Found some. Thanks.

Too danged hot for me to cast down here in Alabama right now. I'd like to find a source for some 45 Colt .452 sized in the 250-255 gr range. I'd like them soft enough to hunt deer with. RNFP or Keith...

Does anyone cast these? I put a thread in the WTB section but I thought I'd ask here too. Sure would like to have some to kill pesky paper targets with. I'd even buy the ones with the dreaded "J...

The "correct BHN" to do what? It's one thing to penetrate paper, another to penetrate 8 inches into a PO'd Grizzly.

Reckon I'm doing it all wrong then. I have my lube in a quart, wide mouthed jar. I put the jar in a pot of boiling water till the lube is melted. Then I pour the right amount of lube out of the jar...

I was having the same issues with my new MiHec brass mold. Wrinkles everywhere. Mold worked great, boolits dropped like magic from the HP pins but they were wrinkled and the bases were poorly filled...

How are you lubing boolits? Pan lube or melting into a lubrasizer?

Thanks guys. Kinda what I was thinking. Mostly marketing meaning I bought them from a bullet maker.

OK, so I see a lot of companies advertising "Hard Cast" bullets. What exactly is the definition of "hard cast"? I don't believe I've ever seen an ad for "soft cast". I may be the only guy around who...

Thanks guys. Went back to the pour yesterday and did some more adjusting, did a lot of the things ya'll suggested. Poured a bunch of nice boolits. The advice on resting my arm on something was really...

I have one too. I'm on my second pot full. Yep, the mold rest sux. Would you mind posting a picture of your mod? I need to build one.

I use it to duplex my 45-70 BP cartridges when I duplex them. I've also tried the old "standby" as some call it for 45LC. I believe it was 19 or so gr under a 260 gr Keith. I was testing 231, HP38,...

I have a new Lee Pro 4-20. I am having a problem with the pour entering the mold with a tremendous amount of pressure and splashing back out and into the next hole blocking it off. Is there a way to...
