Zinc is overtaking lead alloys for wheel weights. I have many bucket full of wheel weights and am looking for a fool proof way to sort the zinc weights from the desired lead ones. Does anybody know...
I am getting old, the four cavity Lyman molds are getting too heavy for me. I am looking for a source of Aluminum molds in boolits like the following Lyman numbers. Numbers 358495, 35891 and...

I solved it! The bullet is a Lee 124gr 9MM round nose, it is my go-to blaster bullet. The issue is with the new RCBS lube dies, the location of the lube holes in the outer die itself. When...
Forum: Casting Equipment
The RCBS die has only one set of holes near the top of the die, the lubing of the bullet is not the issue I am having. The issue is the lube coming out of the bottom of the lube die, I am not sure...

I have a Lachmiller sizer and have several RCBS sizer dies for it. The trouble I am having is with the .357 die sizing 124 Gr. RN 9MM bullets. It squirts more lube out of the bottom of the die than...

I have the old Lachmiller luber/sizer. I bought a RCBS .401 sizing die for 40 cal boolits and the lube holes are too low in the die. I get a huge mess on the bottom of the boolit and no lube in the...

I toasted two Lee pots early in my casting days. Had a 20 pound pro melt for 30 years now and it just keeps on working. Bills are over rated, get the pot and be happy :mrgreen:

Going to use the 45-70 this year for deer in Ohio. The max distance would be 210 yards from blind to forest edge.
My new mold is the LEE 457 405.
Any recommendations for powder, loads or...

I shot thousands upon thousands of rounds using the Lyman 230 cast and 6.0 of Unique lit by a Winchester or Federal primer.

I just had MGM turn down my order for a 30 BR ENCORE barrel. Now I am back to square one, looking for a 1-15,16,17 or 18 twist barrel to have SOMEONE chamber and put the lug on......

I moved over a ton in the shipping container and another 1/2 ton in the bed of my PU from Alaska to Southern OH. If I had to do it again, I would have moved DOUBLE the amount.

Can this be used as a solid nose mold?
What is the pricing going to be? I am interested in using it for NRA Bullseye shooting.
Thanks!

I think you are shoving the shoulder back making bolt closure hard. Back the seating die out 1/2 turn to make sure you are not crushing the case.

I've come close in practice, now I need to do it in a match! I'll keep that rainbow in mind as I align the sights and apply pressure, straight back, until the gun fires!
I added some more tin in...

I have been using this mold for 30 years and have seen the void hundreds of times, at 25 yards it does not matter. At fifty yards it is a group wrecker. The mold is a tad tired but still tight,...

When shooting indoors, 50 feet, I liked 231 also, what load are you shooting for the 50 yard Slow Fire stage?
Forum: Cast Boolits
I recently started shooting NRA bullseye competition again. The 50 yard slow fire target requires a load and gun able to hold a 1.5 inch group at that distance. I purchased a Mador built 45 that...
