Agreed I'm not using the stated figures from the Lee chart because I noticed that the disks put out less than the quoted charge. I will try that and see if there's a disk which gets me close to 5.8....

You're right. I reloaded some new Boolits this weekend and did exactly that...went one orifice up.

Can someone help me by telling me the size of the bolt needed to mount the Lee APP press to the bench? Would also appreciate knowing the drill bit size. Thanks.

I read this with great interest since I've also experienced those divots in my bullets. I'm a new caster. As an aside I was wondering how you got such concentric sprue puddles. Said differently was...

On the mold mallet try getting a handle of a 4 lb hammer. Works just fine and it's cheap.

We don't have oil dri here but I can get clay based cat litter. Apart from layering the cat litter on the top how do you later get rid of it?

I went onto their website. Confusing. What selections do I make to find the right mold? I want 9mm, sizing to .356 HP. They have brass, steel, cast iron as options. Which is easiest to heat?
