Thanks for the input. I'm presently getting mostly2 grain consistency regularly.

Thanks everyone. Apparently I'm guilty of being too picky about bullet weight variance. For a lever action hunting weapon, a receiver sight, shooting under 200yds with big boolits, I'll get lots more...

Thanks prickett

Thanks. That's about what I'm getting. Anything greater than 1 grain I've been putting back in the pot. I haven't put through the chrono yet to see velocity variances though. My next plan is to...

I'm starting to cast 500gr .510" dia, hollow points for my model 71 Winchester, 50 Alaskan for hunting elk size on up animals. What weight consistencies should I (do you) settle on or strive for...

"Boolit Weight Variances": I'm casting .510" dia, 500gr boolits for my Winchester 71 lever action, 50 Alaskan. My question: what weight consistencies should I be or do you try to get expect...

I'm just starting to Powder Coat. I like Black and I don't see much regarding these colors. I'm specifically looking at Powder by the Pound "RAL Signal Black". I called the company and asked the lady...

My curious (show me) attitude has floated to the surface again... I've never looked into the number designation embossed on the bottoms of most every (petroleum based) bottle we all use. There was an...

Hick, I let the puddle get all frosted before I hit the sprue plate. After I just watched a you tube video, the guy was cutting the sprues off of a 6 cavity mold and not even a bit of apparent...

I'm using a new "Mountain Molds" double cavity, aluminum mold. I'm trying to cast .511", 535gr, Lyman #2 alloy. The sprue isn't cutting off cleanly and my bullet weights are varying from 530-536...

Tumblebeards, I've seen/heard of tumble coating with BBs. What advantage/service does that provide?

Thanks Tripplebeards. I've got some black powder on it's way from Powder by the Pound. I'll try that since it's already on it's way.

Thanks to all you responders. The consensus is to go softer. Now my question involves bullet shrinkage after exiting the mold. My "Mountain Mold" is built to cast 525 gr Linotype .511"dia as cast....

I'm reading all the responses with interest. If I were to add 50/50 pure lead to my Linotype, the bullet weight would increase quite a bit? I also have WW ingots. How might combining Linotype with...

I've read many opinions and assumptions concerning using Linotype hunting bullets for higher velocity (1,800-2,000 fps) rifle bullets. I'm about to cast some .511", 525gr, gas check bullets with...

Thanks fellas. As mentioned above, Sage Outdoors is out of stock but I found plenty from NOE.

Is it true, I need to buy these Gas Checks thru a group buy such as here? I need 2,000, .50 LR caliber, Gator, checks for my 50 Alaskan. Otherwise where might I find these checks to buy?

Winchester 9422 for small game and plinking. Otherwise I love lever action rifle barrels with big holes in them. Model 71 Winchester, 50 Alaskan. 525 gr. cast Linotype. Can be loaded to plink or...

I'm working on Mountain Molds design page. I just built a Browning Model 71 in .50 Alaskan. My immediate question is the nose profile design of a 525 gr. Linotype bullet. I'm looking at "plain...
