Broke the original on my 200gr Tl 45 mold, but it was after 5000+ bullets. Called Lee and they sent another no charge. Bought an extra too, and they shipped it free with the other one. 3000+ more...

Should I go back and anneal the tips to soften them up some? I can get a light scratch with my fingernail on them.
I have the dedicated Thompson Contender load data book, so I'm guessing the 150 gr...
As a Pistolsmith, I concur on every single point here. Feed ramp mods are dangerous unless properly done. I've fixed more than one 1911 with ramps done so poorly that they would blow out cases.Had to...
Just cast up a few boolits for my 10" Contender 30-30 in a new Lee 309 150 FN Gc mold from 75-25 WW and pure. Still lack sizing, gas checks and lube.

Just looked at it on the Lee site. Looks good but a little "spendy" for my budget. Maybe it will be a little less when it hits the stores.
I thought 00 buck was .36 caliber?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was thinking of buying the Lee .360" diameter black powder mold to use as a mold for 00 buckshot pellets. It's 36 caliber just like 00 buck. This should work shouldn't it?
