I use the 515gr Postell with pure lead but @ about 1200 fps. Penetration and expansion are both impressive. With bigger bores its not the speed that does it. IMO slower MV and softer bullets is...

No pictures yet but just picked up an H&R 300 blk with about 30 rounds through it. Guy just had it sitting in the safe, still had box and all the kit for it. Will be my dedicated 300 blk sub shooter...

I've found Lil' Gun to be my preferred powder for heavier-projectile super sonic loads. I use H110 for my 110gr bullets, Lil' Gun for 125-160gr and 1680 or CFE BLK for heavy subs

If you're just looking for a little bit of flare at the top, the Lee might work. If you're looking to seat a fatter bullet and not swage it down, look at the NOE expander.

All of my shooting with this rifle is in a 10.5" 300BLK pistol and I don't shoot it more than 100 yards. I'm running my temp at about 850* (via PID) on pure lead. I haven't tested pressure casting...

Hello, new caster trying to figure out my own edges of “acceptable” for my cast bullets but am very curious what the line between your keepers and discards looks like. Right now I separate between...

To answer your questions:
1) yes, they put a slight bell on the case at the larger listed diameter
2) yes, they would help you load .311 bullets into a 30-06 without a different expander ball
3)...

Casting pure lead in this mold for subsonic use so they're dropping fat at about .311. Picked up the .311 x .314 noe expander and gave it a try last night and love it. No more nose squishing during...

Ack, yes, hitek. And not sure why I thought harder bullets would come out smaller and not bigger. My limited casting experience is showing (only used pure for the couple things I'm casting: 45-70...

On the pc front, I’m wondering if going to a harder alloy would give you the clearance needed for pc’ing. Obviously soft lead is great for subsonic and shouldn’t need pc to function well but I sure...

I used the Lee tapered expander and it worked well. I'm using a 10.5" no-name upper with feed ramps that probably need widened.
What worked for me was to expand the neck until the seating process...

So, good news......looks like perhaps the bullets were getting squished a bit. Loaded up a dummy round with plenty of neck expansion to allow very easy seating to the crimp groove and the bullets...
Forum: Group Buy Archives
Hm, perhaps I wasn’t expanding the case mouth enough as I was getting some marks on the nose from the seating die which may have squished the body slightly. I’m using the separate Lee FCD for...

I've been researching opening up the feed ramps and definitely agree that's probably part of the feeding problem. I'm also trying some mag modifications, but the bigger problem is actual chambering....

All, need some advice as a new caster. I'm having a heck of a time getting these to feed in my 300BLK. I'm casting them with straight soft lead as I'll only be shooting them subsonic and was...

Would be in for buying longer pins as well.

When I got my RPR in 6 Creed I sent in cases and bullets (Hornady 108 ELD-M) to have them cut a neck sizing die. I believe it was a great investment in my reloading for this rifle along with...

One note I found over the years that might be relevant on this thread........try not to turn the turret backwards, it wears the plastic square more quickly. I picked up a bag of them from lee when my...
