Great 223 powder and also worked well for me in 17 Fireball. Very clean burning and temperature insensitive for me.

Most of mine have been from 10-13 BHN and I have never had any leading if sized properly.

I can't remember the last time I did see a mold (other than the occasional blackpowder style) at one of our shows. Mostly a product of only the larger dealers showing up anymore and they have to...

I have started to sort mine too due to the large amount of shotgun slugs available at my range. It's easy to get a pretty diverse alloy due to the size of these things. I mark the ingots...
Ahrends.
If you aren't sure which one to pick by looking at their website, give them a call and explain what you are looking for. I couldn't be happier with my Smith and 1911 Ahrends grips....

I can't speak for Jakes Carnuba but I had okay results with the Scarlet Cerasin in 8mm rifle and 44 mag before I found White Label. Leading seemed to be minimal and accuracy was what I expected. I...

Remington 582 22LR when I was 7 years old. Dad was pretty smart and ordered an extra stock to cut down for me so it could wear a full size stock later. Of course I still have it and it will never...
Unless your heart is set on a rubber grip, do yourself a favor and check out Ahrends grips. They specialize in 1911 and S&W grips and have many shapes. The top photo shows a round butt but you can...

I have had great success with the RCBS 38-150-KT. A little lighter than your 158 but an excellent bullet in every 38 or 357 I or my friends have tried it in. No gas checks keeps the cost down. In...

I'm a big fan of the peanut butter jars as well. The plastic cylinders that packages of Crystal Light drink mix comes in works great for smaller quantities as well but the lids are not as secure.

CCI Standard Velocity for most. Accurate in everything I have tried it in and a tack driver in the Smith Model 41. CCI Mini Mags or Winchester Super X if I need high velocity for some reason. I...

I also sort mine due to the large quantity of shotgun slugs on our range. They add up to a lot of material fast but your alloy can vary considerably depending on the amount of slugs in each batch. ...

I recently tried some in 38 Special with favorable results. 3.5 gr under an RCBS 38-150-KT gave me 724 fps and were very consistent with a Standard Deviation of 10.6 fps(10 shots). This was out of...

I know others may work just as well but I get mighty uncomfortable if there isn't a couple pounds of Win 231 around.

I HIGHLY recommend beagling before any aggressive lapping. I carefully (I thought) lapped one of my favorite molds with the intent of making it slightly larger and succeeded in making it out of...

I accidentally bought some Remington 5.5's (magnum) instead of 1.5's for use in a 9mm. I didn't chronograph them so can't tell for sure but didn't notice a dramatic difference in performance. I was...

Two pages in and nobody has mentioned the Winchester 77? Okay, I'll do it. Hard to argue with the success of the 10-22 for a currently produced gun. There may not be a neater looking autoloader...

I shoot an Encore with an MGM 17MachIV barrel and use Fireball brass and RCBS dies. My chamber cast showed my chamber to be very similar to the factory Fireball dimensions with just a slightly...

I generally load to 1.140 with regular jacket roundnoses in this Hi-Power. This particular bullet is different than many other cast roundnoses in that it has a longer shank and a sharply defined...

I picked up some Berrys plated for $23/250 to get through while I ordered a mold. I also tried some Hornady 115gr FMJ at $70/500. I'm looking forward to shooting cast at a nickle a round.

Anybody that is casting with this mold that can tell me what cartridge overall length is working for you in 9mm Luger? I just received mine and cast a few bullets tonight. I am impressed that both...

Thanks for the feedback. I went with the RCBS 124 RN TG based on my past experience with RCBS vs Lyman. My last two Lymans have dropped significantly undersized while my RCBS have been outstanding....
