There are no restrictions on selling lead in CA, or license needed.

I do not crimp the case mouth into the bullet, but just close the case mouth up to the bullet. I seat a .357+'' boolit into a case that is expanded to .355''. The .002+'' tension is enough to hold...

I bought a Taylors Uberti revolver back in 2021. Useless warranty, poor parts backup, too many excuses from Taylors. Looking at my firearm, its difficult to believe it came from an experienced...

For california hunting, you can still cast your own boolits using rotometals non lead alloy. It is on the california approved list. It is $15.00 per lb.

Yes. Ammo transfers must be done through a FFL, and to include a background check.

Go to pistol section and use 158 grain bullet data/loads.

RG1911,
You need a gas checked boolit with that much rl7 powder. You are pushing towards 2,000 fps with your top loads. Clean the leading from your barrel, and use a load that gives you 1200 to...

I think 405grain has the answer.
Make up a dummy round with your 356'' bullet and plunk test it several times. Check for shavings. I doubt you will see any. Next try plunking a 357'' then a 358''...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Are you getting lead shaving when seating the round in the chamber, or when seating the boolit into the cartridge case?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Changing the seating depth will not stop it from leaving a ring of lead when the round is fired.
Your boolits diameter is too big for your chamber throat. What is the sized diameter of your...
The throats on my 2022 cattleman measure 0.366''and are made to Uberti's specification. It will not shoot boolits without severe leading of barrel. It shoots jacketed ok to 30 feet, but nothing I...

Bring the pot temperature up to 625-630F, and hold it there. Then flux well. Anything that will not go back into the mix, scrape it off. You probably have too much antimony in the mix. Try casting...

It appears that Vihtavuori powders that were once considered expensive, are now the same price as most popular powders.
