I have pure antimony. I would be willing to sell some.
I just loaded 15 rounds for testing. The #05 Lil' Dandy rotor is only throwing 3.0 gr. Unique (listed for 3.3gr.). I will see how it works and report back here.
I want to use a 115 gr. RNFP for this load. Does anyone have actual experience with a good load in a 2" barrel using a bullet close to this weight? If so, please recommend what you have used. ...

I'm not sure what a .45 LONG Colt is. Are you asking about the .45 Colt?
Anyhow, I do not load the .45 Colt in a rifle. It is strictly a pistol cartridge.
On the other hand, the .357 Magnum...

I just picked up a unit for an RL550 Basic Press I have ordered, but it did not have the large primer cup. I need one. I would also consider another RL450 priming mechanism (complete) if the price...

I checked out their website. There are two moulds I would like to order. Thanks for the info.

Good morning fellow bullet casters and shooters,
I purchased this gun somewhere in the early '90s. I had won 500 cast bullets at a match somewhere around that time. Anyhow, I loaded them and...
FWIW, I have been using an MP 452-200, an exact copy of the H&G68. Miha offers it in both flat and bevel base. It is a brass four cavity and casts perfect bullets.
I had very good success with 60gr. GOEX 3F for the last 15 years. I will be loading and testing Swiss 3F and see what it does. I know you're looking for smokeless, but don't write off the black...
FWIW... I have four M1911s set up for bullseye. The H&G68 shoots the best in all of them. This is confirmed by shooting from a Ransom Rest and one handed in matches. This beats all the Lyman...

Thanks. I will be casting this week and will try range lead w/o adding any of the linotype and see how that goes. I am waiting on .35cal. gas checks that I should have this week.
Thanks,

Thank you. Yes, this is helpful information. Please keep me up-to-date with what you are doing. I will be shooting these bullets in a Marlin 336 too. If I finds out anything that looks...

Hello all,
I haven't casted for rifle in many moons and I need some advice on a good alloy. Please note that at one time I had cast bullets for .30-30 Win. and a .308 Win. that seemed to have...
I just finished casting 700 bullets with this mould about 30 min. ago. I warmed the mould before casting and my second pour were all keepers. The only issue I have with it is that there is some...
I need to know the size and thread pitch of the screws used my Mihec in his moulds; namely the sprue plate screw and the set screw for it. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
James

I know... old post. If anyone has a four cavity mould for sale, I could use another one. This bullet shoots great in my three M1911 bullseye guns.

Both of my Ubertis, a Henry and an 1873, mike out at .429". They shoot .427s and .428s OK, but the larger bullet shoots a little better.

I have over 100 moulds and half are four or more cavities. With the exception of one five cavity .44-40 mould that I cast for a Henry repro, all the other gang moulds are for pistol bullets or...
I shoot several boolits in both my .44-40s and .44 Mags. As long as it is properly sized and the bullet results in a correct COL, it will work.

I just purchased a number of 50/50 sticks to add to taht I already have. It's probably two years' worth of lube at the pace I cast and size/lube. Is there any advantage of storing it in the refrig?...
FWIW, I had one two-cavity mould, a .58 cal. Minie Ball, and cast pure lead from it. It did not hold up. I did not use excessive force, but opening the sprue was difficult and soon the mould did...
