No, you do not need to empty it and in fact if you leave some in it, it will start to melt quicker the next time.

I actually fill it up at the end of casting so I am ready for the next time. I do...

Another + for BAC! If you want it softer, just use any one of runfiverun's suggestions.

As ndnchf said above, it has been a proven bullet since the 32-20 came out. There is also the 311316 which is a GC if you are going to push it hard out of a rifle in the future. If you want to go...

I cast and shoot boolits for just about everything these days. With the exception of 223, which I happen to have thousands of jacketed bullets for.

opos has said it very well. Do not take this lightly, it could be in your State soon.

I live about 30 miles SE of Sacramento. All day long I have seen the planes coming and going to drop water on the fire to our East (Butte fire). Unfortunately, the wind has been blowing from the...

The big name boat builders today contract out the pouring of keels and get dozens if not more done at a time. They are concerned about specific weights and you are probably more than likely going to...

That was great!
I have a very soft spot in my heart for our two and would probably have 10 more if my wife had her way.

Thanks

+1 for the NOE RG mold Once you figure it out it casts as good and quick as any other mold.

I have a couple of NOE's RG molds. I can cast as fast with these as I can with any other mold.
The big plus is that I can cast HP or solid with these plus one even came with a cup point, which...

I have been doing just that for years, since WW have become pretty much non existent in CA and I hate to use them up.
I mix 50/50 and add just a little tin. It works fine in everything you...

Window came is an excellent source of lead. It is usually not completely pure but has a little Sb and Sn in it. I used to own a glass shop and we made and sold came to other shops as well. We...

Mallen,

It is a 358 that casts at 359-360 that you size down to 358.
They are available in 2 and 4 cavity. RG-2 RG-4

Mallen,

Have a look at the NOE 358 124Gr. TC RG mould.
It can be either a HP, FP or a cup point.

They also have a 358 135 GR. FN in RG.

NOE,s HP moulds are as easy to cast with as a regular...

See sticky number two down from the top/tumble lube.
It will explain it all.

Tom

Congratulations on your success!
The secret to Lee Alox is just a little will do you just fine. When you get tired of the sticky boolits, you might want to look into either buying or making...

If you can form them back into the shape you show on the left and the fit your chamber, they should be fine. The 32-20 brass is very thin so check for any cracks after sizing and firing, but...

Hi Tom,
I have been involved in archery all my life in one form or another. I grew up in WA State and hunted with a 52 lb.recurve, longest shot was probably 20 yds. Today I would suggest you get a...

It is the best place on the internet for cast boolit knowledge!

Mark,

Accurate Powders is the only place I could find pressures.
For max load they run about 39,000-50,000. They are showing velocities for these loads at about1600-1800.

I have loaded a lot...

I probably have more than I will ever use, 2000# + and for the most part I shoot into a berm in the backyard.

But today while walking I spotted a wheel weight and it turned out to be lead and I...

My mother-in-law lives with us and will only sleep on flannel sheets, I have a lifetime supply of cleaning patches. Cut up into squares and dipped into Ed's red solvent I can clean up just about...

Oh BTW

There is an amazing wealth of information regarding the 25-20 on the Marlin Owners website under 25-20 reloaders.

tg32-20

I have loaded thousands of rounds for the 25-20 over the years. A Marlin 25-20 was the first rifle I shot as a kid and used it for many years. It is now getting a little tired but still shots...

It is truly an amazing place to be.
