That’s a real good thought, thanks for sharing! I know I’ve seen guys cast/ reload for 300 BO with success

Hey guys I’ve been looking around the forum and can’t seem to find anyone who really casts and reloads for the AR-15 .223/5.56. So has anyone done it and is willing to share your experiences/ lessons...

Good to know, thanks! In your opinion is the dedicated expander necessary? I’ve been using a Lee adjustable expander with no issues

Hey guys just a quick question. What’s the difference in RCBS Cowboy die sets and their standard 2 die sets? The cowboy offers a roll crimp but so do their standard sets. Just curious if they are...

Thanks for all the input guys! I definitely appreciate and will adjust my molds I’m using. Currently I’m just using the crimp that is standard in the 30 WCF RCBS 2 die set, nothing specific or...

This is great info. Thank you! I’ve been messing with it for a week now. I thought I could go a bit heavier and get some more bang for my buck. Oh well. Would you recommend Lyman over Lee? I...

I use RCBS 2 die sets and it says they do a roll crimp in them. Would an additional die to crimp or like the RCBS cowboy die sets work better?

Hey guys hope y’all are well. I’m casting/ reloading for my Winchester 94 in 30-30 with Lee 309-200 sized to .311 with a gas check. The issue I’m having is if I don’t seat the boolit enough the rifle...

Hey guys, I haven’t been able to get the idea of getting a surplus rifle out of my head. I’ve looked at Arisaka, mosins, mausers and enfields. I plan on reloading for whichever I get. Just looking...

So it sounds like y’all have a collection of different molds, no brand loyalty?

What dies do you prefer?

Hey guys I just got into casting, my first mold is a Lee 309-200. I’m casting for my 30-30. My question is do Lyman or ideal or any other “hi end” mold really perform that much better? What is it...

Awesome info thanks guys! I didn’t know the pressure variety was such a spread

Hey guys let me preface saying I did do a search before posting. But adequate results were not found. I understand the relationship between these two rounds but I just want to confirm a .223 die set...

Thanks! I’ve seen y’all doing 5 hour casting sessions and making tons of the exact same thing and I’m not to that point. This ^ is exactly what I thought I should and will do

I’m debating about a chronograph and haven’t been able to justify it. Do you recommend it that much? Are you able to take that number and caliber and plug it into a calculator of some sort to...

This is all great stuff. Thanks for the inputs. To clarify I’m not looking for load development stuff, I’m looking for what methods y’all use to determine what your fire arm likes best, specifically...

Ya I’ve never done ladder tests for anything besides consistency and accuracy. “Ladder test” might be the wrong words. What I mean is a test of “does this mould work in my gun?” “Do I have excessive...

Ok I like the marking method. How many rounds do you need to accurately assess leading?

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to casting and am curious what y’all do for ladder testing. I’ve reloaded a bit and understand the ladder there but what do you do for cast? How many do you shoot before...

Yep thanks, I’ve used both the Lyman and Lyman cast bullet manuals for that stuff. I’m looking for something that has wider weight spread and options such as PC, what lube you use, GC or not etc etc ...

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to casting and I’m trying to develop a load for my 30-30. Do any of you have a reliable ballistic chart for cast bullets? I haven’t been able to find one that gets...

That is something I’ve been tossing around in my head. 1) Would there be benefits to PC then lubing? 2) what application would PC be better suited towards? 3) what application would lube be better...

Ah all great great info thanks guys! One other thought I’ve had though is if I should (or even can) use a gas check on a powder coated bullet?
