Separating a barrel of brass I found while cleaning out an old storage shed.

It may. All the other rules apply, but I find acetone removes any oil and sweat from handling and removes some oxidation. It removes some variables known to cause problem with the powders giving me...

Since it is a rainy day in AZ, I cast 1,200+ 9mm 120gr TC boolits said n the shop and washed them in acetone getting them ready for powder coating once the humidity goes down.

Good deal. I hope it works out for you like you want. That’s some good thinking.

Great job!

My only question is how much of the case web remains above the extractor groove and does it compromise the web integrity? I’m thinking case head separation.

I’ve been thinking of...

I cast 700 .358 200 gr FP for my Contender pistol calibers 357 Mag, 357 Herrett, and 35 Rem. I powder coated 600 9mm 120 gr and 300 357 158 gr HP.

I cast, culled, and sorted 500 22 Hornet boolits.

I heard back from Lyman today. They agree the mould’s gas check shank is oversized/out of spec. They are sending me a new mold.

I looked at the gas check expander you recommended. The 22 cal...

Hey, that’s great! That will fix my problem, and I like the GC seater as well.

I appreciate your response. I have checked the mould faces and no lead is present, that was one of my first thoughts. I also checked to ensure there is no light between the mould halves when...

Has anyone experienced issues with installing gas checks on boolits from the Lyman 225438 mould, 44gr Hornet boolit? I am finding the gas check shank is too large to accept Lyman or Hornady gas...

Count me in.

I do, but I'm not holding my breath.

Is this BG a bust or is BC going to make good on any moulds? Is there anyone who wants their mould replaced/remade? By reading some of the posts by those who have been able to cast and load these...

That's not good news for me. I've got 10 and 14 inch 7mm TCU barrels for my Contender and a 14 inch 7x30 Waters for the contender. It is much too hot here to fire up the furnace and cast, so it...

I prefer the frame that has the firing pin selector, Rimfire, Safe (None), and Center fire. The last frame before the G2. By the way, I am very disappointed that S&W/TCA will not be continuing any...

I just picked up a Smith & Wesson M&P 10. Cast boolits in the 130 t0 150 grain range should work nicely, possibly heavier. Who is load cast for their .308 AP platform?

Actually, if Miha is making new long pins, I'd rather have them instead of working on mine to fit.

Only have one container of gun powder on your loading bench at any time and always keep the container for the powder currently loading on the loading bench. When finished, pour the remaining powder...

Best to slug the barrel and measure it. It is common to size .001-.002 over the slugged size. With a cast boolit, fit is the key to keeping your barrel lead free. Additionally, properly sized...

In 100% agreement with you.

My initial thought was an RCBS .30-180-SP
My second, third, fourth, etc. are Lyman 311290 210 grn, Lyman 311333 197 grn, Lyman 311290 202 grn, or Lyman 311672 160 grn

Thanks Edd, I'm glad I'm not the only one thrown by the .2906 stamp. I'll find a way to mark the mould with the as cast diameter. Now to get my knee fixed so I can cast a bunch of boolits for my...
