Hey gumbo, I have some 45/45/10 I could also try in place of the PC but it appears the PC will work fine. I should have pointed out in the picture that the two to the left were in the wild and the...

Thanks for all the information.

I have confirmed they are soft lead, they smash flat quite easily. I did powder coat a hand full with a clear powder. It seems to be sticking well as it melts the...

I have been powder coating for several years, this doesn’t look like any PC I have seen. Also, the friend who gave me these is 78 and has had them for a long time, so long he doesn’t remember.

I...

I was given several hundred of these by a friend. He doesn’t recall where he got them. They measure .357/.358 and right at 160 grains for 38/357. They are coated with something fairly dull but heavy....

Thanks for the replies, I am going to start checking out some of these recommendations.

To answer a few of the questions:
Yes, I enjoy revolvers and really like the 8 shot but this will be shot...

Just picked up a S&W 627, 8 shot revolver and getting it broke in. I plan to use it for steel plate challenge competition at our local range. Seems to be a difference of opinion as to what bullet to...

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.

A buddy gave me an extra SDB he had, it was set up for 45. He...

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...

I shoot my Ruger 9 in a PCC class and love it. It just eats whatever I try in it and does so accurately. So far it likes 147 GR Extreme HPs, 147 GR FPs, 125 NOE cast sized to .357, Berry's 124 Round...

I had the flu like symptoms the our the first shot, didn't think anything about it. Nurse never said anything about a possible reaction. Went back for the second one and this person said I could...

Well, this is an interesting thread. I don't have the "stories" many of you have. I met my wife when I was a senior in HS, she was a Junior in two different towns. Got married when I was 19, she was...

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...

I don't have enough information. What is the house interest rate, how long is the loan 15 or 30 years, how many years are left? What other debts does this person have? Pay down the highest interest...

I have all three of these mould manufacturers in various configurations and calibers. My conclusion is the style of bullet plays an important role in whether it releases well or not. My MP HP mould...

Had a lead melting buddy make some wooden boxes about 15" long, 4" tall and 7" wide. The Lyman ingots fit well into the boxes and is about as much as I want to lift. I put a piece on the ends to use...

This thread interests me as well. I have been looking for the ideal mold to use in 9 and 38, around the 125 grain weight. I do like the SWC bullets. My fav for the 38/158 grain is the RCBS 358-150KT,...
