Forgive my ignorance. But why would you want to remove the lube grove? What does that do and how did you go about it?

Thanks for the video!! Looks like you can really crank them out with that set up! Could you show a few pictures of your feeder and handle set up and give me a more details? The handle you made makes...

Wow! 40 lbs in one sitting? That’s impressive! I know you had to have a few coffee cans full in that case! We have plenty of them laying around here too as I usually drink a whole pot a day to...

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing! I really love the idea of the use of the multi tube case feeder and your homemade feed ramp is a thing of ingenuity! Might you remember what diameter tubing? I...

Since I have started casting more this winter, I have increasingly found that the little lee sizer red catch bins aren’t sufficient for the volume of bullets that I size in one setting. I like to...

My resolution is to get the reloading room cleaned up, organized, and set up for optimal use. Might even go ahead and put a fresh coat of paint on the walls, as well as throw a few shelving units up....

Glad to hear good results! How are you applying it, and what velocities are you shooting at? That is one of the recipes on my list to make. I am planning on trying Recluse 45/45/10 as well as Ben’s...

Thank you for your service. Folks like you deserve as much respect and praise as police officers and ems tech, but frequently, you all seem to often get left out. I know that had to be a demanding...

I am surprised by the idea of using brake fluid! Isn’t there some nasty stuff in there that will even eat away at the paint/ clear on a vehicle? At least that is what I’ve always heard. I am...

I do like the generic burn gel, and aloe. And have tried them both many times as well. Problem is that the small tubes of burn gel never seems to want to be found when I need it, and the cat keeps...

Thanks for the laugh WINGER ED, I needed that today! I almost spit out my coffee! Surprised that others unlike us southerners haven’t heard of using it. Nothing goes to waste in this household!

Just put some beeswax on order and it should be here any day now. Was planning to use some to make some bullet lube anyhow. I never thought of using it before I did a little research on all of the...
Thanks for the great info! I have wanted to try the 356-120-TC in a 6 cavity for awhile now, but you can’t find any molds in stock anywhere. Excited to hear good things about it. I tend to stay away...
@ P FLADOS
Happy to see this mold has some promise. I love a good dual purpose mold. Current favorites have been the 358-125-RF as well as the 358-105-SWC. I highly recommend the later to you for...
@ tward
Planning on shooting them in a Ruger LCP 2 or Taurus in 380. May try a few of the larger of the bunch as cast for my 9mm and maybe even 38 spl. My assumption is they may be too short, as...

Glad to see I am not the only one that has some rust in the pot! I have worked on many old vehicles, and I know even the smallest amount of rust in the right places can spell disaster. Doesn’t seem...
Thanks everyone for the replies! I am gaining the confidence that I will be able to refine my process to get more consistency and even less rejects during the next casting session. Was starting to...
@ gwpercle
Thank you for the reference point of the lee dial. I will certainly give that a try the next time around and share my results!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so mods please feel free to move it wherever it needs to go.
I was a cook in my former life and thus have learned a little bit about burn care. As...

My lead pot isn’t even a year old and has started accumulating a good coat of surface rust around the rim of the pot. I know the metal isn’t that thick, and I don’t have the luxury to bring it inside...
Hello all! Thanks for all of your replies!
Much info I hadn’t yet considered! The mold is a new model with the small triangular pins and not the alignment rods. Yes, the mold was lightly smoked,...
Hello! First post here but a long time lurker!
I recently purchased a Lee 356-102-1R from midway and just got around to trying it out this weekend. This is not my first time using Lee aluminum...
