I've always wanted a hornet. I'm going to try it out as that first and see how it does. I might K it. I didn't even know that .219 zipper was an option from .22 hornet. It has a 1-12 twist so I'm...

This .22 hornet last Saturday night.

Yes they have. I was able to pick one up used about 3 weeks ago. I've taken it to the range twice already and in love with it. I sighted it in at 50 yards with .38 specials (lee 158 rf pc) and its...

Curious to hear the report on this one, I've been looking at these pretty hard lately

Glad you got the problem solved!

Loaded up around 100 rounds of .30-30 this morning then I started loading my pet load in .38 special. I got 371 loaded up before I ran out of primed and ready to load brass. I've primed about another...

Ruger 77/357. Worked up a couple loads to try out in it whenever I can get to the range. Hopefully this week!

Well I ordered the Lee 309-170F mold and .309 sizing die. Hornady .30 cal ga checks as well as a couple sample packs from Vulcan checks. Hopefully I can cast some and try these out over the holidays.

For those of you that vote lee 170 are you powder coating these boolits? If so do you powercoat before you put the gas check on and size or are you gas checking and sizing then powder coating then...

Thanks for the info on the ranch dog. How do you tell if a boolit is a bore rider or not? What about the lee 309-170?

Thanks. These are the type of things that I know nothing about. This is my first attempt at PC in a rifle. I have done pistol calibers with success so far.

I picked up a .30-.30 a while back. It's a Winchester 94 Ranger with an 18" barrel. I'm finally getting ready to start reloading for it. I've bought some 170 grain J words to start with but I would...

Has anyone had any luck using the Lee C309-170-F without the gas check if the projectiles have been powder coated? Maybe not a full house load of around 2200fps but more like 1600-1700?

I only powder coat since i've started casting so I don't have to worry about lube or stacking neatly. I like to use the larger plastic mixed nut or cashew containers (great value brand) as they hold...

I finished up powder coating the 1000 or so 180 gr .40/10mm FN boolits that I cast last week. I also tumbled, sized, and belled the 10mm cases that I shot at the range last week on my first trip out...

Good looking gun, I bet that thing is a blast to shoot! Pun intended! :smile:

This was LEE's response:

The handle pin can be reseated with a punch. The handle pin would have no effect on the alignment of the cavities. If it is dropping out of round boolits, make sure the...

I contacted lee and provided the pic of the pin. Ill wait and see what they say. Worst case scenario if I can fix it ill go buy another $22 mold. It was producing very good bullets before this issue.

I was casting a few bullets today after work. Probably the 5th or 6th time that I've used this mold. All of a sudden I saw something fall out that wasn't sprue or a bullet. I started looking around...

I'm not sure if this is the right section or not but I got an email earlier saying they were back in stock at Midway for $6.49 per box of 25. I know quite a few guys have been looking for these and...

I finished powder coating and sizing the rest of the bullets that I already had cast today. Once I got the new batch cooking I would immediately go size the bullets that had just cooled out of the...

yes I bake them @ 400° for 10 minutes. I just powder coated some then sized them immediately after they were cool to the touch. They went through easily. I guess for some reason I had it in my head...

Some dropped at .358 and some others that I checked were .360. I was trying to size before PC because I saw that a lot of people are doing it this way. I water dropped the bullets because they will...

Hello everyone. I finally took the plunge on Sunday and cast my first bullets. Lee 158-358 mold. WW and range lead mix alloy and I water dropped them. I have been powder coating bullets that a friend...

I loaded up some .45 colt and .40 s&w earlier. Both PC cast and xtp and GDHP. Hopefully make a trip to the range next week to test the loads and decide on a good load for each combo. Tomorrow I need...
