I am fairly new to casting, and have focused primarily on bulk pistol bullets so far.
I just got an NOE 300gr gas check HP mold to use in my 35 Whelen. My primary purpose for it is to develop a...

This is the bullet I'm using.

I run a Tanfoglio 10 as well. I've not tried SWC bullets, but could see them getting a little hammered. I use a 200 gr WFN, but I'm using a harder alloy, water dropped. I get a little deformation...

Well, shoulda slugged my barrels a while ago.
458 slugged at .459-.4595. so it looks like I need .4605
And my problem 9mm slugged at .3565-.357. actual bullets after sizing were .357, so maybe I...

I've been shooting 147gr out of my 9's for 10 years with no problems. This mold is actually slightly shorter than the plated bullets I've been using. I don't think that's the issue with the 9. ...

Thanks. I've not had accuracy issues with any other bullet in the 458 socom, so wouldn't think I have an alignment issue with the brake? Barrel is a Tromix 1:14 16.25". 1600fps is about the top...

The 35-147c is being used in a 9mm, so .355, nominally.
The socom is 458, supposedly. I'll cast some pure PB of each to slug the barrels.

I wrote a while ago about the great success I had with my first casting session making some 200gr 10mm hardcast. They have proven accurate and reliable; I'm completely satisfied with them. ...

I drilled a small hole in my Lyman 45 base for the tip of a soldering iron to fit into. used a cheap amazon soldering iron with dial-controlled heat output.

The feeling is mutual, though opposite. 100 sounds like hell to me. There's only so much clothing one can appropriately remove. I can always add a layer. We're in Alaska, and winter is gorgeous...

a normal high for us is about 70 in the summer. once in a blue moon it will hit 85. i'm more concerned with low-temp performance, when it's 10 below here. I am using an old lyman 45 lube-sizer,...

I have White Label Lubes BAC and Carranuba Red. I used the BAC this time. My goal was 20-21 bhn with quenching, and I landed right about there. Sized .4015. Only fired a dozen through a...

Thanks! I was having trouble if I let it cool much more, then the sprue plate had to be gently hammered open with a rubber mallet instead of just pressing it open with a gloved hand. Am I missing...

Close, it's actually an Accurate Molds 40-200A. Cast with 2:1 pb:lino and quenched.

Thanks to the stickies here, my first casting session was a complete success yesterday! From learning about lead alloy metallurgy and matching alloys to intended uses, to learning how to judge when...

Incredibly simple. Still helping us newbies 8 years later. thanks to Gear for taking the time to write this up.

Absolutely. I've taken many grouse while hunting moose and black bear here in Alaska, both with firearms and archery. My primary rifle is a Mauser rebarreled to 35 Whelen. 250gr Partition at 2650...

Wonderful, thanks. I'm just getting into casting, and have been enjoying it. Decided I want at least one mold for each caliber I'm shooting, and this one looks great for the Whelen for use here in...

Am I correct in assuming the NOE 360-313-FN-AX2 is the same bullet as the group buy 360-310 FN, just available as a normally stocked item now?

Ok, so either powder coat them, or get gas check versions. I understand there can be some issues with clogging gas ports in AR's if your running too soft a bullet or too high a pressure without gas...

Probably won't get 1800 with the 350's. I was getting 1900-2000 with 2 different 300's, and 1850 with the 325 ftx.

Interested as well. I've had a 458 socom for a few years, but have been shooting jacketed or brass solids. I finally ordered the stuff to start casting, and an looking for a 300-375gr mold to start...

I know this is a super dead thread, but I'm trying to find a copy of Montana Charlie's Lee tester extension sheet for bhn below 8.0. she's anyone have a copy lying around?
