I have some of these shotshells I got from someplace no longer remembered, and want to make some of these for myself; I do some work in rattlesnake country from time to time. The ones I have are...

NOE Bullet Moulds makes several Lyman clones, scattered in among their other molds; you may want to check their website. The site has detailed drawings for each mold they manufacture. I have quite...

The model designation is stamped on the left front of the receiver, on a takedown model seen when the handguard is removed. The year of manufacture is stamped on the lever boss, also on the left...
As to the .30 Remington, you can start with a .30-30 die set, but will need a #5 handle insert and #5 priming chamber. Don't know if there was ever (or is now) a 310 set for the .40 S&W, but that...

Take a look at the Accurate #310190S mold. I bought it on the recommendation of Accurate for a heavier-weight boolit for either my .303 Savage or .30-30. Have cast boolits, and set up dummy...

Have the NOE 360009 clone of the Lyman 3589 (also have that one but haven't used yet). Casts at 290 grains with ww metal, checked and lubed, and positively wrecked the offside shoulder of the...

Have a SAECO pot that leaks, and am looking at a Lyman on eBay. Does anyone know if the pouring spout is removable for cleaning/truing up, so as to stop the leaking? If not is there some...

My M1(s) have never been fired with cast boolits, but with both my handloaded j-word ammo and the Gov't ammo I used in various NRA High-Power matches the empties almost never landed to the left of...

Fascinating. I, too, have some SL 43, so will check for powder charge, evidence of MG links, etc. before trying in any of my Garands. Thanks guys.

Learned a new acronym today - when I saw the name of the thread thought "Politically Correct" boolits?????
The above is an oxymoron, however "Powder Coated" boolits is, while a term unfamiliar to...

I have owned, and loaded for quite a few 99s, including 99Es, and my experience is that the 99E action is itself "softer" than the other models. Never kept one around very long for that reason. I...

FWIW, the data accompanying my jug(s) of Lot #47289 is (also) marked WC852. Same data. Still trying what to do with it that fits within my desired loading parameters - can't use it in a Garand, and...

Had seen this one before. Brought tears to my eyes this time, too.
Thanks.

Accurate Molds makes a mold for the 303 Savage (31-190S) that closely resembles the old 190-grain Winchester Silvertip, but due to Tom's tooling it has a small flat point. In very limited shooting...
Forum: Leverguns
Accurate Molds also has a boolit mold for the .303 Savage - 31-190S. I sent Tom a picture of the old W-W 190 gr. Silvertip awhile back, and the above is his rendition of it. I've cast some and have...

I have some WC852 powder from a different source, also from lot BAJ 47289. It's a slow-burner, 'way too slow to use in an M1 Garand (but OK in a machine gun or BAR?), and info in the H450 post(s)...
There is one difference between die sets designed for the Tru-Line and the 310 tool, and that is the TL sizer die also has an expander ball above the decapping pin - it sizes the neck on the...
Forum: Casting Equipment
The dies I own without the o-ring have, instead of the gentle taper lead-in of the o-ring types, a shoulder inside the die that sizes basically by shearing lead from the boolit. It's not necessarily...

I was on the Lyman website yesterday, looking for parts and the manual for my 450. If the drawing in the manual (which is for both machines) is to be believed, the newest 4500s have a heater that...
