Not saying a magnet will work for the red dust identified in this thread, but a swarf magnet/collector is a super handy item for most any garage or shop. They seem pricey for what they are so I made...

just wondering why a new thread instead of adding a reply to your original 3/13 post. I clicked the new one and couldn’t finger out what had happened to all of the responses I had originally read.
reloading 9mm cast seems to be WAY harder than it should be. Especially for multi nines of different manufacture. After watching and following many threads over the years I admit I am on the verge...

I have similar vintage Rossi (24" SS) that enjoys a generous .433" barrel. Have been reluctant to buy a mold for a maybe project, so have been running .431" 240gr jacketed soft points. I have...

WOW 70% coww. that's great. I usually get about 45% but recently have seen only 35-37%.

My co-ax is great and I'm not likely to ever give it up. Besides loading accurate rifle ammo, I almost always use it for depriming any and all brass I intend to wet pin clean. It almost seems...

I have a question about Dillon powder funnel numbers. I have a 1980s vintage powder funnel for 30.06/308. No numbers or letters stamped on them but I know it is a 450-44-B. That part number no...

A good question, but I intentionally look for and purchase the .431" bullets for use in my 24" Rossi R92 which has a very generous barrel. Does it really need the larger diameter bullets? Probably...

Not to get too far off tangent, my thoughts/concerns with zinc bullets are fit and fouling. Are zincers sized 1-2 thousands over or are they of similar dimensions as jacketed bullets? And then the...

I had the OP's problem after installing a new pressure switch (one with the power cut-off lever). Bought another new switch without the power cut-off lever and life was good again.

Not exactly a cast bullet post, but... A couple days ago I was reloading a good sized batch of 45 ACP with range pick-up brass. During the loading session for reasons unclear one case came out from...

For what it's worth and it's been a good while, but I was never able to communicate with Al via email. I found calling first thing in the morning before he headed out to the shop was the best way to...

At the risk of going off into the weeds, this discussion got me to thinking about comparing a universal Lee shell holder with a Dillon 450/550 Shell Plate.
Lee - 0.125"
Dillon 0.119"

I did a search and didn't find anything suggesting graphite powder on aluminum was a problem. Could you clarify?

I have been using the .359x.355 NOE expanders as well but was hoping the Photo Escape .358" powder thru would eliminate the extra step/s.

I am too new to these to be an expert but, when I reassembled I probably overtightened the two castle bolts and distorted the primer housing. The primer slide kept hanging up just before the primer...
