I have not started PC’ing boolits yet. That said, I do intend to get to it eventually. My reason for wanting to go that route is that I have always thought that you could get higher speeds with...

Most of the replies in this thread are probably why I like coming to Cast Boolits so much. Yes, I like all the knowledge about casting boolits I've picked up over the years. I like learning new...

I don't know how I missed this when you first posted. This is an AWESOME resource! Thank you, very much. It's super valuable. Really appreciate it. How do we send you samples? Did I miss that in...

Sorry - never loaded cast for the Hakim. I did a lot of shooting with mine back around 2010 or so. That thing made me nervous as all get out, what with all of the horror stories based on the...

Perfect. Thanks guys.

Was reading the interesting thread earlier on tin/lead, and a quote there caught my eye:

"I have some boolits stored around here that are over 5 years old and I have yet to load them. They do not...

Merry Christmas!

Not sure where this should be posted. For those of you with a 9.3x62, www.grafs.com has some reasonably-priced PPU brass. I have been looking for a while, and found it there. They also have a...

1997 or '98 - Lee Anniversary Kit. For the .270, and then quickly after for 9mm and 45 acp.

Still almost exclusively a LEE product reloader.

^This. Go to Commie(You)Tube and search up "GunBlue490 Loadmaster." He has put two videos there: Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. Start from Square One, and set up your press EXACTLY as he does. Your press WILL...

?? The children sold the rights, and new management took over? Are you sure about this, or are you possibly thinking of a different magazine? The last several issues that I have received since...

Hang in there, Don. People do change from time to time. I married a city girl - her parents are/were morons in many ways, good in some others. They were/are anti-firearms. Immigrants that didn't...

I have only been casting bullets off and on for a few years. But one thing that I find really surprising is how tough a metal lead actually is, in many respects.

The other day, out of an Arex...

I am extremely happy with the company formerly known as MetLife, now they're called "Farmers something." Sorry, not at home to look at my statement. They have been absolutely EXCELLENT with claims...

This has turned into a great thread. I’ve enjoyed it a lot.

Put me firmly in the camp of “wish I’d settled on three or four powders that would cover pretty much everything, and just loaded up on...

Made the meatloaf exactly to your specs tonight, Country Gent. It was absolutely delicious. Not a scrap left over. Felt like we were eating pure energy, too. Thanks a ton from my family.

Sounds awesome! I have all of those ingredients.

We all have Covid at my house, so I’m making darn sure to keep my wife and kids fed with high energy food right now.

My question: what...

I needed a 285g mold for my 9.3x62. Saw that NOE had one listed on Sunday night - the 368-285 GC 3 cav aluminum. Bought it Sunday night, and just came home a little ago while to find it in my...

GREAT advice, guys. Sincere thanks!

Any advice for a 54-year old, to make the next few years easier/better, as far as aging goes? I’m in ok shape. Have had my share of injuries but I’ve been able to work through them or get past them...

Thanks, guys. All good info, and hopefully I’ll need it again sometime. This was too much of a pain to be bothered with. It looked to me like it was ALL zinc/steel, LOL.

Just to tie this up, I finally got this back from VV, via tech support. I’ll say right up front, here, “to avoid any misunderstandings”, that they recommend destroying it.

This is copied...

Well...thanks for the heads up, guys. From what I could tell, the recycler had a bin full of zinc wheel weights that have been picked through by someone, because it seemed to me that everything in...

Thank you, BTW.

Perfect, FR. I’ll take along a diagonal pliers since I don’t have any hoof nippers.
