Unless you are certified in hazardous material shipping you might should drop the shipping part. $600 isn't worth Federal Prison time.

See if the brass chambers in your rifle. That's all that matters.

4350 won't give complete burn in your application. It's much too slow. You probably have unburned powder kernels too. Other than Trailboss a full case is a poor criteria to choose an appropriate...

My suggestion would be to skip the heat treat. Compared to what I shoot your bullets are too hard.
Good Luck to you,
Rick

IMR powders are fine with cast. No different than any other brand as far as I know. I like and use all three of the numbers you mention in different applications of course. I like 3031 better than...

I have had exactly the opposite from Lyman M-dies. They expand the inside of the neck suitable for cast bullets for me. For most cartridges there is no need to expand the neck for jacketed bullets. I...

I can barely wear loose fitting socks. Anything that fits my left foot tight would be going the wrong direction.
Thanks,
Rick

I will add something very important that most folks seem to miss. Study the difference between fluxing and reducing. You will need to know. Fluxing removes the unwanted matter in your melt. Reducing...

Many folks here probably know better than me but I have an arterial bypass in my left leg and my foot swells on a regular basis. I can't even stand tight socks on it. I asked about extra wide socks...

Hello Mike from San Diego. Welcome to Castboolits! Looks like Challenger came along with just what you needed. I hope the 3 pounds last a long long time.
Good Luck to you,

Get a dryer sheet and rub the outside of the container. The static will go away. Works for cars too if the owner keeps getting shocked by static electricity when first touching the door handle. Rub...

Would you please , if it's not too much trouble, share the velocity of that 12.8 Lilgun/50 Hornady SP SX load? Do you have any experience with it on Coyotes and such? I'm wondering if it's fast...

I guess I probably took it personally when you called me out in bold print. I rarely say or type anything which I have no idea what I'm talking about. My apologies if necessary.
Take care,
Rick

Ultimately it's your decision on what to do. My opinion...He should ship to you what he represented and what you bought, not what he thinks you need. What he thinks you need is irrelevant. I have a...

My two neighbors with ponds have fountains to oxygenate the water. Similar to the methods mentioned above I guess?
Good Luck,
Rick

Done

I believe that BK addressed your mis-direction pretty well.
Take care, and good luck,
Rick

I'm not sure I'll be much help but I think sometime ago he changed some mold numbers. I may be mistaken. Tom participates in this forum so maybe he'll see your thread or maybe you can ask him by PM?...

I ended up loading 11.8 grains of Lilgun with the Sierra 45 grain Hornet bullet. Just over half-inch groups first time out with the rifle and about 6 rounds to sight in. I have no idea on velocity as...

No, not until about 1,200 degrees or more. My several MP hollow point molds run best at around 850 degrees. Much below that and I have problems like you are. I can assure you that members here are...

Whatever alloy you choose it would be best to add enough tin to have a balanced alloy, equal parts tin to antimony. This will retain the malleability and hopefully keep the bullet from shattering....

I've never been there done that, and I hope you don't either but that sounds very hard, and maybe brittle. I'm thinking you could soften it a bit and add enough tin to equal the antimony and have a...

I have purchased many of the older manuals on Ebay. Take a look, someone may be selling the one you want.
Good Luck, and Happy Easter!

I do all my "sizing" with a Lee push through die. I only do my lubing with an in and out die. When I use the in and out die I make sure the bullets are .001" to .003" smaller than the lube die. This...
