What happens to the dacron filler? Does it melt and get pushed out? Melt and build up? Wind up as a tuft of polyfill down range? Pros Cons of dacron vs. 1/4 sheet TP?
I have the same mold, though I'm at 100 HP and 105 solid.
Interested in the lighter weight mold for my 32 ACP pistols, thinking they'll provide a nice *thwack* on close varmints.
That and it...
As much excitement as there is for .32s, I thought you'd folks would be interested in this GB over on single actions for a Mihec mold.
I suppose my love affair with the 32 SWL started when my subscription to the Cast Bullet Journal kicked in circa 2015 or so. Some fella going by the name of Ed Harris (a nom de plume if I've ever...

Thanks. Any ideas as to who makes the thinnest commercial check?
Forum: Gas Checks
I'm putting 30 cal gator checks (bought from NOE) on my 311299 copy, also from NOE. Bullets are cast from straight lino and drop .312. I size to .311.
My process:
Seat the check on the shank....

Put some holes in that target!
Half underlug makes me think of the Security-Six. Which makes sense, they're both Rugers.

By the pound or by the skillet-full! In the pan on the stove. Have had via oven method, but that seems unnatural.

I'd have to say .38 double groove wadcutter brass. Never enough. Never enough.
.44 special, good to have a stockpile of this.
9mm out my ears, no need for that.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Running 9mm in a very very similar gun, CZ-SP01 (75b variant). Had the same issue. Bore slugged .356, ran .358 boolits through it cast from straight WW. Used a NOE TC, PB&GC, 124g mold. BAC from the...
The NOE I have is a 124gr TC. PB and GC.
The Mihec is the HG 275 clone, PB. Drops 127.
Love my CZ SP01 (75 with full length dust guard) in 9mm. Safety (no decocker 'less you count your thumb). Sent it off to CZ custom in AZ for some trigger work and internal polishing. Ran a number of...
I'll second Mihec's 9mm SWC (HG#275 clone) in PB.
That and NOE's 124gr TC in either PB or GC.
Run both through my CZ SP01, water dropped wheel weight alloy, sized .358, lubed with what is in the...
Was just at the Gun Show in Cedar Rapids, IA. There's a table with two 4 Cav HG 163 molds with handles, $175 per set. Just thought I'd let folks know in case anyone is in the market.

Anyone PC this boolit and run over some H110, 2400 or AA9?

What's the benefit/purpose of the nose size set up (base first/upside down)?
Picked up a 311-180 FN (311041 copy). Can't wait. May have to hunt some more to see what I need.
Used a heat-gun/paint scrapper. Take pressure of off lube and warm. Works quickly. Not as convenient as a designated heater but does the job.
Current load preferences are the 358477 PB, 358156 GC (for .357 loads) and warming up to 35891.
I recall the 477 & 156 feeding through my rossi '92 w/o issue.
Thanks all around.
Was planning on using .44 special brass (have more of these sitting empty than .44 mag). Yes, for my Super Blackhawk.
Doug, I'm slightly confused—are you suggesting look at...
