One of the vendor sponsors sells/makes Bullplate sprue lube, (I think Bullshop is their name) some came with a NOE mold I bought and it works great. I have used solid beeswax in the past (apply when...

finding an AMT hardballer that isn't beat to death is tricky, but I have been looking, I have thought of making a replica out of a new...

mtgun44, I am really not looking for a reduced load, it was just that all I was finding before I got the Lyman book, was about 900-1000 fps, I WANT to go faster, and now I am. The 200grainer I'm...

I figured I'd post my results for anyone else who might be curious, the lyman book did have one interesting 210gr. lino load listed 19.8 grains of 2400 would give 1190fps, i started with 20 as I...
If you can find a Monson gun, pick it up. you can still get barrel/shroud combos new from CZ/Dan Wesson on their website if you want versatility from one gun, it can't be beat, shorter barrel &...

I've sized from 457 to 452, depending on the boolit design it really doesn't leave much of a lube groove, I was pretty much stuck tumble lubing, sizing and re-tumble lubing. It works, but I think...

1300fps was kind of a minimum speed I was looking for as a starting point and work up from there till I got pressure signs (sticky case extractions, flat primers, ect) I guess I didn't pose my...

how about several reloading manuals 462? But I don't have Lyman. I did check the powder companies sites and thats where I got my info thus far. Thank you, to the rest of you, I didn't know there...

Better question, why are the loads I am finding only for 900fps when I KNOW the thing can do 1500 EASY!
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've been searching this site and the rest of the net for a couple hours now, I am trying to find a load for a 200grainer, plain base, 44 magnum around 1300+ fps using H110 or 2400. Everything I...
I was lucky enough to get a K38 masterpiece for $325, the guy I bought it from had inherited it from his father, I never met him, but from his collection i guess he was a competition shooter in the...
I have to agree with everything MikeS said already, I too had a 1 in 4 failure rate with my Lees. Usualy the bigger than 250grains start being a problem, my smaller ones are great, including my 230...

Yup, $3500 for a couple of suppressed ruger 10-22s? get real, even buying the stamps thats way off base. There is NO need for the fake drama, "I need to make $25000" "we gotta get it done by...

Well, they had the Lee auto indexing press at Bass Pro for $114, including the auto disk and (now I have an extra) beam scale. you guys are right, I had it set up and and made the first 100 45acp...

Oh boy, I had the ftf problem too, did you get the gun used? same question, are you getting primer strikes? I had to send mine to Smith, they swapped for a longer hammer, stronger spring and gave me...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about stepping up to a turret press, the rcbs model to be exact, I can't afford a really good progressive like the hornady LNL, and I kinda want to step up the quality of some...
My sig pic is a DW for a reason. Everything thats been stated about them is true, and try real hard to find one made in the Monson plant. If your serious about it check gunbroker for one of the...

It's all good HCL, same problem here, I sometimes don't get on for a week or so at a whack. I've been using the Lee 45LC factory crimp and it works wonders, I have a single stage press that I use for...
