Hi all, this may be wrong part of forum, but I was thinking of loading some 00 buckshot in either .38 special or .357 mag cases. I know 000 is correct size,but I don't have any and have a 00 mold....
Hey WWMartin, my chrono showed 4.0 gr at 826, 859, 826 then the 5.0 was 964, 985,998 with 4.3" barrel in Beretta APX and these were carefully measured on my RCBS 10-10 Ohaus scale.
Thanks guys I thought about 4.0 would be about right. And RydForLyf those are good tips, I do sometimes tend to overthink things. I have been reloading for 25+ years, but I try to be very, very...
Hi guys, This may be a dumb question for some. I have been loading lots of these using 5.0-5.4 gr of bullesye. I don't have a book that lists many pb bullets. I am shooting these thru various pistols...
Thanks guys, if they are soft pure lead can those be shot from a tighter choke? I think an improved cylinder may be the biggest choke I have. I don't shoot many slugs and this is the reason for the...
Hi all I got a question about some lee cast 12 ga. slugs that I don't recall how hard they are. Does it matter if these are not pure lead and are COWW's? I cast these from a borrowed mold and it has...

Dusty I think the set screw is a great idea, however I cannot get the bolt tight enough. I have a neighbor that is off on Wednesday's and he can't fix it I will buy a new mold. Thanks for the ideas...

Thanks I probably wouldn't have thought of that, especially with sweat dripping into my eyes!! Mine have right hand threads. Mac

Hi all, having problems with a .401 mold I use a lot and the pivot bolt keeps getting loose and of course doesn't keep the plate tight against the mold and you have ugly bullets. Anyone have any...

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking of using my usual coww mix on these bullets. While I am here what do most people use the soww's for? Casting lead balls for muzzleloaders or what? I have...

Hi all, I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. A friend has the 358156 mold and is going to let me use it, he said to use pure lead, but I think that would be too soft. I am not a...

Good lookin boolits!! I don't think those would feel real good if you got shot with one.
Thanks guys, I saw a youtube video of a guy doing what I had considered. He is loading 3 strings of 3 00 buckshot and had good results shooting them at 55 yards, with and without buffer. I think...
Yea sorry guys, I meant cutting the 00 buck shot apart. Danish do you mean just the 00 buckshot in the tumbler or add some smaller shot to the mix? I knew I had seen someone say Walmart had the...
Hi guys, I have seen a post about a particular tool to cut 00 apart and now I can't find it. Thanks for all info. Mac
Well Geezer you should have been the first to chime in!! All of my PB has been FREE. Why on earth would anyone have to pay for something like that??
Thanks guys, I was just trying to find a use for the soww's.
Ok guys that is clear as muddy water. Some say hard, some soft. Thanks for the info though. Mac
Hi all, is coww okay for 00 buckshot or mix of coww and soww? New to buckshot casting. Thanks Mac

I figure $6 a gallon by end of next year, $8-10 by the time Bidumb is out of office, unless they can squeeze us for more. Shoot let's just make it an even C note!! Hope all the Morons that voted for...

Low$John, sorry to hear of your ordeal, but glad you didn't give up. I have heard lots of doctors say that your mental state has a lot to do with any recovery. Have fun at your loading and shooting....
Another very satisfied customer. When everybody in the free world was out of 9mm bullets, Bill had them. Even with shipping problems, was only 8 days from order to receiving them. Will be buying...

Thanks everyone, Brewer 12345 got what I was asking for. I have been smelting lead wheel weights (no Zinc), I have been making cast bullets, and using a 450 Lyman lubrisizer. I thought someone would...
