Thanks, I snagged one also.

I have cast and shot thousands of them. Be warned though. With coww and 2% tin they drop at 214-215 gr. I have two of them in five cavity and will generally cast 2000 at a time.They are as accurate...

357, For me the The best all around handgun cartridge. 90% of my handgun shooting is range time and for that it is perfect. Handload mild to wild with no brass to chase or pick up. And for camping, a...

xrider472, The SR1911 was my first and up to last month, my only 1911. The Rugers do have short throats and mine would not chamber a HG 68 at more than 1.24. Doug Guy throated the barrel, polished...

Good morning
In my Sig Sauer two of the three most accurate loads that I have found use two of your listed powders.
All loads use the Lyman 401638 175gr. boolit seated to 1.125"
1. 4gr. bullseye...

My pleasure for sure.
Kirk

My most accurate load with 180gr. lead is 5.3 gr. BE86. This is in a Sig 229 40 cal. I have replaced the slow twist OEM barrel with a Barsto 1 in 16 twist barrel.
Hope you find the load you want....

wv109323-Your experience and advice on mould choices is exactly what I was looking for. Along with the advice about paper and backing choice, all of my concerns have been addressed.
Everybody,...

It sounds like I'm doing it all wrong. What I do is buy a 300'? roll of butcher paper every ten years or so and use the orange paste on dots from birch wood casey for targets. Maybe I need a softer...

Bill, that's possible but with a load of 5gr. of w231 I should be getting 800+. The front band on the Accurate mould has a shoulder that slopes upward more than the other copies that I've seen and...

Question for the 1911 gurus. I have always been a revolver guy, but finally broke the mold. Settled on and bought a Ruger sr1911 target in 45acp. After shooting a couple of different boolit styles,...

mdi, you just described exactly what I have.
Thanks
Kirk

Jon, Satans lube is my most used homemade lube for handguns. This stuff feels like it but when I melted some, Oh man, the stink. No BW smell or petroleum. So, who knows? Ideally, the soap lubes are...

This stuff is definitely not BW. I've made enough lubes to know the smell and hardness. Weird stuff though. It glides and feathers just like a good homemade lube should but no telling how clean or...

Badgerjim , You are probably right. If you are, I'll just make it go away.
Thank you
Kirk

Yesterday, a good friend stopped by and dropped off a six lb. chunk of wax. He said that his father used to lube boolits by hand with it. Supposedly it's BW BUT I don't think so. There is no BW odor...

I won't tell you what to do,but in my opinion, the rnf design is the easiest profile to get good results from quickly. The Arsenal 358-162 rnf or their 360-155 rnf would give great diversity and...

KVO, No apologies necessary. Any and all information on or about cast boolits is great. Thanks also to Forrest r. Your wisdom, knowledge and experience is always welcome.
Kirk

Wasalmonslayer, thanks, I will give it a go.
Kirk

KVO, Thanks for the heads up. That is very positive information. I too will have to get out and test on paper and see for myself If the 359640 shoots as well as my original BRP 360640 mould does. ...

Could anyone here let me know what the correct band diameters are for the 359640 mould? My concern is that the front band on my new brass mould is casting at .351-.353. Is this correct? If it is then...

I was finally able to get out and cast with my new 359640 mould. Being brass, I did not know what to expect. Thankfully, everything went lots better than expected. Mould cast great, boolits dropped...

Thank you gentlemen for your replies. I'll give your advice a try and work around from there. It may take a week or so, but I'll report back on my results after I get to the range.
Thanks again
Kirk

Just received my first Mihec brass mold. I've been casting for close to ten years and this is my first brass mold. Kinda nervous. The 360460 mold is my favorite and most accurate 357 mag mold so,...

I've tried 7gr. 7.5gr. and 8gr.'s. Not bad but no where close to the 7.2-7.5gr. of unique that I just can't beat for accuracy out of two different 44 specials. And, I have tried at least six or...
