I picked up 16 pounds of CBI pistol powder and I'm finding that the supplied data isn't enough to cycle but is just shy of being a compressed load. We obviously stopped using it till we can better...

If I can find the box I'll give you some. I put it somewhere safe.
I'm guessing it's just the latest buying spree. Everything I have ordered has been at the mailbox within a week. MP molds and lee molds on titan have also been out of stock lately.

I am going through my molds and I cant decide on what to use. What has worked best for you guys and has anyone tried the magma 147gr 9mm mold?

Honestly a shotgun would be the best option

Maybe make a hbwc and then run into a point form die

I'm looking to make bullets for the 450 bushmaster mainly
Forum: Swaging
I have thought about using copper tubing. I'm not setup yet to draw it.
I also have tried 40sw brass for 45 cal bullets but have never been happy with the base
Forum: Swaging
I will send him an email and see. I wish I would have got on board and bought more stuff before he retired.
As for noe I was hoping for a quick fix till funds free up or I make one
Forum: Swaging
I have a c&h 45 die set that I have made some bullets from 40 sw brass. I never really liked the way the base was formed but got in the game to late to take advantage of rce while he had jackets.

I swage and coat my bullets. 25 acp is not the most pleasant to load but it's still better than buying it.
Forum: Swaging
Looks like they would load just fine.
Dave Corbin told me at one point it was common to make those. Although they would take a piece of #4 copper wire and center drill it then point form.

I have been looking at these for awhile now. I'm thinking I'm going to need one.

I built a 450 bushmaster a few months back and after searching for the brass I am ready to load. Unfortunately I can't decide on what to load. What molds have worked best for you guys?

Figured we could still get something going. I havent heard from you in a long time brstevns, do you need some bullets also. I can do another batch if you want in.

Another option is to make a dip lube, but I have never used this recipe on black powder. I take a 1 quart jar and desolve a bottle off lee alox and a 1/4 pound block of parifin wax into naptha. ...

Keep an eye out on Craigslist. I got my trap for 50 bucks. Its good up to 1500 fps according to the label.

In my opinion they are about the same. For my swaged lead bullets both 1/2 and ones with a check I use my homemade dip lube and see no difference.
