It’s my goto powder for 22 hornet.
I’ve used left handed drill bits to remove small broken screws. Those bits cut in the reverse rotation. Once they start cutting the bit usually grabs the screw and backs it right out.
Agree with the above post. Synthetic 2-stroke oil for me. Applied when mould is hot to the sprue plate and pins. A very little goes a long way.

Just picked up my 3rd sizer with a cracked upper bracket for $250, but it came with 6 original dies and top punches and original star die removal tool. Good thing I have a friend who is an excellent...

I had that problem when my oven was too hot. Since I calibrated my oven with a good thermometer to 400 degrees, no more sticking.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pictures.

First picture is some 38 wad cutters after tumble coating. They are in the oven now. The other picture is some 38 round nose I did yesterday.

You may be right. The pellets are very light. I don't have any black BB's to compare. Here are a few samples of my coatings with HF Red/White mixture. Perhaps a mixture of the LDPE and Black...

I have no problem with one coat coverage using HF Red. I was never able to find Black Air Soft BB's locally, so I decided to use low density polyethylene pellets, since I work for a company that...

Never mind. Found the answer in the sticky. Guess I missed it before.

I'm new to PCing, but have been casting for many years. Been reading in this section. One question, and maybe it's been answered, is ther a difference in the airsoft bb's? I mean, between the...

Yes I use aluminum cleaning rods, not steel though. Just won't use them. In my case, it was a Glock 23 Lone Wolf barrel. Round just needed to be tapped out.
I read all those links and they...

If you don't like wooden dowels thats fine. Worked fine in my case, cast bullet. I would never put a steel rod in any barrel, taped or not!

I know this don't really help, but maybe you can order online. I bought my last 2 lbs of 296 at cabelas in PA. Was a month ago though.

I stand corrected, thanks. I was thinking Miracid aka miracle-gro. Thanks for correcting me.

Lol, actually muratic acid is basically plant food. Can be found at your local Walmart.

Happend to me one time with a 40 cal. Used a wooden dowel and tapped it out with a soft hammer. Came right out.

That's a really cool idea. I have a few presses that aren't setup because of room on my reloading table. One of those would solve that problem. Thanks for posting.

I've reloaded on an Ammomaster for 20 years. Recently switched over to a Dillon XL650, so the Ammomaster doesn't get much love anymore. The Ammomaster is a great press. I didn't like the uniflow...
