I thing I will order a #323 2 cavity 95 grain wadcutter mold since I already have a pair of saeco handles.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I'm particularly interested in what people who have recently bought a Saeco mold have to say about them. I had a Saeco mold for my 40-65 back around 2006, it dropped very nice bullets. But what...

What is the consensus about the current Saeco mold quality? I'm considering a 32 caliber wadcutter mold and I see that Saeco makes one, for about 40 dollars more I can get an Accurate mold, (I will...
I just picked up a Match Champion, it has the normal super stiff, lawyer proof trigger which I fixed thanks to Wolff gun springs and a little polishing. It has something on the end of the barrel that...

I'm expecting a pair of lenses from Decot up in Phoenix early next week I sent them my prescription and explained about the front sight going blurry, they're making me a pair of lenses for my...

I ordered the K31 specific mold from Accurate Molds up in Salt Lake City, as usual, the mold I received is a work of art. I used some 89-7-4 alloy and dropped bullets from this mold into cold water...

Yeah . . . I'm thinking 3% tin, 8% antimony, and 89% lead. MV of 1700-1750 fps

I shoot several different calibers in both handgun and rifle and sometimes it's been a while since I shoot a particular gun. I cast handgun bullets for 4 different calibers and don't get too deep...

Thank you Mike and banger. I want to document accuracy vs. different amounts of Sb and Sn in the alloy.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I plan on getting some alloy tested since I just ordered a mold for my K31.
Question: what is the consensus on which facility is the best?
Thinking of cost and turn around time.

I have 3 of his molds, always blown away by the quality. I use a scientific hot plate to preheat mine. When my RCBS pot dies I will get a cheaper pot and control it with a controller, the kind that...

My K31 likes a mid range charge of IMR 4064 behind a Hornady 150 grain FMJ-BT, but I'm running low on these and all the companies like Alliant, CCI, Hornady, etc. are saying components will be...
Forum: Cast Boolits
OK! Just ordered it . . . I have a couple of Accurate molds, they are a thing of beauty. There's a five week turnaround time so I'm hoping to get it near the end of February. I have some 2400 so I'll...

I'm looking at the Accurate Mold web site and see that Tom makes a 185 grain bullet specifically for the K31 7.5x55.
I plan on ordering one this morning, just wondering if anyone else has this...
My S&W Victory was picking up lead, throat dimensions are fine. Culprit was forcing cone, which I hit with an 11 degree cutter from , 4D rentals, and also the front of the cylinder throats were...
Had a hard time choosing my Accurate mold, finally chose the 358477. More boolits per lb. Designed by Phil Sharpe.
After a lot of soul searching, I bought a WWII S&W Victory revolver in 38 S&W. I tried some commercially available cast bullets which were .361, they didn't shoot well, too small, dropped right...
Check the cylinder throats, too big or too small will both cause this. I have a cylinder on the way back from getting its throats opened up. It will be here 8 April. It's for a spanking new S&W. I...
I just bought a new model 57. The cylinder throats were oversize so I sent it to S&W and they replaced the cylinder with one that is undersized. It's on its way back from Bowen Classic Arms as of...
Check out a red dot scope, less weight, less distraction. I have a Matchdot Ultra Dot II which was made in Japan which works better for me when it comes to 25 yard bullseye offhand. I don't see the...
For my RCBS dies I have in the past called RCBS and asked them to send me an oversize expander, which they did. Noticeable improvement.
Well, I ordered a mold from Accurate Molds last night, a 160 gr. Then I slept on it and this morning e-mailed Tom and changed it to the Accurate version of the Lyman 358477 which is a 150 grain mold....
Okay and thank you for that info . . . I have two Accurate molds and like them, I shoot wheelweights and add a little tin and it looks like I'll have to get an Accurate mold, or a Lyman if they make...
I'm thinking about buying one of these. I hear people say they shoot .358 cast bullets out of these guns and they work just fine but I am skeptical since the bore diameter of the 38 S&W is somewhere...
Didn't shoot it. Corrosion visible in grooves, sent it back yesterday, the thing that was really strange was the amount of powder fouling I got out of the barrel. I went back and forth with a wet...
