Three pages of replies, you probably have your answer.
My question is are you stopping to admire and examine your bullets as you cast? Pour, cut and dump just as fast as you can, don’t look at the...

When I cast, I PC ASAP and size in thr next day or two as the PC tends to get harder. I use the Lee sizer on an old Pacifc single stage. I have got in the habit of grabbing a handful of bullets in my...

Lots of variables in all of this.
One assumes that all cavities are exactly the same. There is something to be said for uniformity and I find the sizing die provides that. You can also get...

Well, I have both a LNL without a case/bullet feeder although I did put on a homemade rotating bullet feeder that works very well.

As the title says, looking for either 38/357 or 9mm for my SDB. I have the head, only need the dies but if you have a package deal, let me know. Thank you in advance.

Thanks but they don't look like what I have. I wonder how many variations there are. I appreciate all the help and responses.

Hey thanks guys. I went back and looked at each one. They are LC and the numbers 1 and 5. They all have the vertical lines in the neck. I did find one in the bunch that was different. As near as I...

Some additional information would be helpful. What does the bullet drop at? What powder are you using? I am probably not following but what is a "LOA"?
You do realize there is not data on every...

Here are a couple calculators you may find helpful. The second one is a new one that I have not used. The first one is very basic in that you find the type of lead you have, input the amount of it in...
I generally cast at two different times of the year, early spring and late fall. When it warms up like it is now, not much casting gets done unless I am completely out of something. This is more like...

Lakehouse2012 - I have been looking for the magic bullet for 9mm. I have multiple options and a lot of them for plated bullets, primarily Berry's. Just finished using up all the FMJ's I had laying...
I have that exact mould. Mine drop around 127 grains, so close enough. I too use if for 38/357 although so far, with limited testing, it hasn't measure up to my RCBS 358-150 KT SWC for accuracy, I...
Define the term "plinking"? I know what most people mean when they say that - a general round that is good for most target practicing. Close?
I too am looking to expand my 9mm options for my CZ...

For the powders I use, I find that the longer the powder sets, the harder they are to size. I would recommend trying to size some fairly quickly after they have cooled and see what you get. I think...
