The bullets alone going through the sizer just glide through...... very little effort.

Add the gas check and it requires a stiff pull. The OD of .235 seems like a lot to size back to .225 but...

Annealed with same results.....I had high hopes:sad:

Boolit drops at .226
Shank measures .212
GC inner diameter .215
GC outer diameter .235
GC .010 thick

Used Lee then NOE. Both push through sizers.

I will try that today.

I have, with similar results.

I think they're alright......

Accuracy has not been good...... but....... I'm just at the start of load development for this rifle. Just trying to eliminate obvious issues early on.

If anyone has a good starting point (powder...

I've tried dry, lubed and PC.

That was my first thought on the push rod and why I got the NOE setup. Both the Lee and NOE push rods do it.

Doesn't really seem like excessive pressure needed to push through.

I've run them through the NOE .226 then the .225 with the same results. They drop from the mold at .226

They're water...

I'm having issues with gas checks on these.

As you can see if I seat them nose first they dish out and create a rim.
If I run them through base first they are a little convex...

I have a line on 2000 to 2500lbs of NIB COWW, mostly 1.5 oz and up. No sorting necessary. Any idea what a fair offer is? I'm already sitting on (literally) a ton of ingots and haven't bought any in a...

Doesn't seem like life changing money. It's paid for. You're unsure. You're only 30ish. Don't sell.

For 2

I can't resist, ****. Put me down for 2. Thanks.

Thanks for the links....... definitely a steep learning curve for HP shooting.

I load for a couple of singles and bolts and have gotten pretty familiar with seating depth and the associated marks...

Thanks for the replies, guys! I've been out in the shop tinkering with it and it is in fact the barrel extension that's doing it, those edges are sharp.

Thanks again, i really do appreciate your...

As the title suggest, i'm looking for a J word forum. I'm reloading for an AR to start shooting CMP service rifle and have a question and not sure where or if to ask here, so hopefully this post is...

Well, so far I've done roughly 600lbs. Molds work great. The first ingots to drop are a little wrinkled as expected due to cold mold but after that, beautiful.

Having no trouble getting them to...

Recieved mine today! They are very nice. Job well done sir! Thank you for your time and effort to pull this off for us.

Now, time to put them to good use.

Sent one.

So, I've ordered up a pound of cerrosafe today. That will give me my rifles dimensions, then maybe i can figure out by mold diagrams what would fit.

I like the covered noses when PCing, but i...

Ok, now i feel kind of stupid. I'm relatively new to casting for rifles and very new to PC. It didn't dawn on me the PC was obviously adding to the diameter and that is causing my problem. I just ran...

As the title suggest, how does one choose a mold? I bought a Ruger No.1 in .308 yesterday. Shot a few J words just to see, then switched to my Lee 180gr LRN PC handloads that work well in my other...

Just curious and definitely not pushing, is there an expected time frame/ship date?

I certainly appreciate the effort that went into this project and again I'm not rushing you.

Thank you.
