I want to try some Bens red. But I live in Norway, so i have to substitude some ingrediences.
Can I use regular wheel bearing grease or any lithium grease as a substitude for Red n`tacky?
Can I...

Its like a heavier 105swc. Both shoots great in my sw686.

I have now lapped the die .0025" and sized 100 bullets with BAC at 20c degree roomtemp and no heat. Havent noticed any lubeleak yet.

I use BAC in a 450 without heat. Room temp is usually around 20C degree.

A fellow shooter in the gunclub is a machinist, so he could probably make me a new stem if the leak is to bad.
Was just...

Maybe my question got lost in translation. Im not asking how to lap, but how much I can lap before lube leak becomes a problem.

I have a Ruger Redhawk 44mag. Bore slugs at .431" and throats at .432- .433".

Bought a .430" Lyman lube die with it. I had not even heared about slugging the gun, as this was around the time I got...

Quick question: I am going to buy a toppunch for my Lee 105swc. Castpics list Lyman #402.
RCBS #402 is in stock, not the Lyman. Is these the same and will the RCBS fit?
Or will a flat toppunch be...

I tried a flat toppunch for my 140swc with 20-1 alloy. Deformed the nose.
Just ordered the 105swc mold, havent recieved it yet.
Would be nice with one toppunch for both, but the 105swc will be...

I was looking at castpics for toppunch reference for the Lee 105swc.
It list both Lyman #402 and #467. Which one fits best?
I am casting a soft lead/tin alloy and need a good fit to minimize...

Scored some pewter today at a flea market. [smilie=w:
23.6lbs for 12 dollars, including some other stuff for my wife.

A hotter mold did the trick!
Slightly frosted and perfect, filled out bullets.
Appreciate the help folks.

Yes there is something stuck in the cavities.

Mold is preheated and sprue solidifies at 4-5 seconds with 700 degree coww.

I have cleaned it several times with hot water and soap.

What is this and how to get rid of it?

Looks worse on pictures than in real life.

Actually I do not want a roll crimp in in this case. NOE 180sil seated close to lands in a Contender pistol to optimize accuracy. Need taper crimp.

Well, then I will just buy a tapercrimp die. Any brand recomendations? Need one that don't swage the boolit.

Is this die long enough to use with the 357Maxi in a Dillon 550b?
Will it post-size like the FCD?

Edit: I see it uses a collet and requires a...

How is it different? When the profile die is adjusted for taper only, is the 38/357 die long enough for 357max in a dillon 550b or must I buy the 357mag version?

When the profile die is used as a taper with no rollcrimp, is it as good as a real taperdie?

I am loading 357max with NOE 180sil seated close to lands in a Contender at 58,0mm. Casemouth ends at lower driving band. It fits in the chamber and fire without crimp. I am considering straightening...

Thx! :D

What material is this bullet made of? It was very hard. I thought it was a TMJ so I hit it with a hammer so the lead could be melted out, but there was no lead...

Nice project! I made one myself today for my Anschutz Exemplar. Looking forward to take it to the silhouette-range again :D

I use NOE429421. Weighs 262gr coww. I am going to develop a precision load for paper soon. Just finished developing another load for my 357max. So many projects...

I use it with Vihtavouri powders in my SW686. Actually casted some today!
