I know this issue has been solved but I'll throw in a possibility just for the halibut.

A couple of months ago I was reloading some 30-06 for my sons Rem 700. I had 100-125 rounds of once fired...

Or as my Grandaddy used to say, "Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff".

Having arthritis in both thumbs I've pretty much given up on my Lee Hand priming tool.

I bought the RCBS priming tool about 3 months ago. I love it. My bench is a home made setup with inserts...

Are you sure it was .40? Sound more like a "miss-remembering" of the 458x2" American

Which, to be sure, is NOT based on the 30-06 case.

Just out of curosity how does one get this lube from pot to luber-sizer without melting every plastic/rubber part in the luber-sizer?

Ted

Who cares about the jobs. At least they will be able to get Health Insurance right?

Now in the real world I only have about 1500lbs of wheel weights stashed away. I figure that is only 6 years...

So your saying that America deserved Obama and Obamacare? That the girl was raped because she wore her clothes too tight?

Stop blaming the victim, help us fight it here or expect it to spread.

I've used them in a Mauser 98 that was converted to 30-06 and, FWIW, in a M1 Garand (maybe 16 - 32 rounds).

No problems in my experience.

I just got back from the range with a random assortment of rifles. One of which was my Mauser Mark X in 35Brown Whelen. Yesterday I loaded up a few rounds with 54g and 56g of AA3100, on top a a...

I fired up the casting pot this morning and cast a few (20lb worth, before culling) bullets from the mold. Once I got the temp of the mold up it cast like a dream. I did a rough cull of the bullets...

As long as they pull the southern border of the state of Jefferson down to include Calaveras County I'm good with it. I'm trapped here because of Job and family. Some day that will change and...

I had not considered the specific gravity of the Babbitt vs Lead. You are quite right about that. It would probably be best to go with a 200g+ bullet in the 30s or a 250g+ bullet in my Whelen and...

Family and job. Not yet. But someday.

Ted

Sorry about that. I blame the drugs (surgery today, I am not tracking 100% right now). Looking a little closer at the Rotometals site it seems that $18.99 a POUND is more like what it would sell...

Not a serious question (yet) but given the state of affairs in the once Great State of Kalifornia I have to ask.

1) Who here has cast a solid babbitt bullet?
Something like Rotometals...

My Uncle Jim told me this years ago. He made his living for quite a few years as a hunter and trapper. Right up until he married my fathers sister. He swore up and down that that was one of the...

Yes, but that buy has been going on since June of 2012. Is it ever going to happen?

Ted

Mine arrived in the Sierra Foothills this afternoon. A truly good looking mold. I've got a 35 Brown Whelen that I'm hoping will enjoy this mold.

Unfortunately tomorrow morning my nose has an...

Just shot the second 100 rounds through my new 5" XD yesterday. The first 50 rounds was my standard load that works fin in my other 45's (Kimber, Colt and SA). The Lee 230g truncated cone boolit. ...

Seeing as Ben developed the mix, and undoubtedly has more experience with it and lubes in general then I do. I would be a fool to discount his advice.

But first I'll try it as it is.

Ted

Thank you. I do understand that and was not complaining. More of a comment in general. Living in the Central Sierra Foothills we do get days of 100+ but most days that I shoot are in the upper...

Payment has been sent and I'm good for a MM2 4 cavity mold.

Ted

I wish I could tell you. However in the interests of deniability I very carefully do not remember how much all the stuff cost. That way if the finical manager asks I can tell her "Gee I don't know...

Actually I'm not sure that it (at least my batch) should not be called "Ben's Magenta" or perhaps "Ben's Burgundy".

It's quite a bit softer then the Carnauba Red I've been using for a while now or...

I'm in the process of "harvesting" the ingredients to make a full sized batch (ie 1 complete tube of Red&Tacky). Two questions have come up.

1) So far both Auto Parts stores that I have checked...
