Glad your ok
I learned in HS to never hit hot metal things with a hammer(quarter sandwiches will shoot a long way)
We all have different standards. If I bought a new anything and it had a ding, I would send it back. Used, I look and if the price matches the condition, I have bought dinged stuff used.
I started a tread before I saw this one. I ordered a DC for trial with my 380,9mm,38,357's.
I should have it Monday and will cast some up and shoot over my crony this week.
I just got a 380. My...

They had a table at the bellevillle gun show today. Selling hytec coated bullets.
Like everything there. Overpriced.

It has happened to me with my 380 taurus. Touch more crimp is the fix.

Has anyone who PC rifle boolits, ever PC a rifle boolit that was pure?
Or one that was cast with a soft nose via Bruceb Method?
If so, did you test for expansion?
I was wondering how the PC...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I wonder if you cast the front half of the boolit out of pure, back of w/w per BruceB method, trimmed them and then HP, if you could get better expansion.
I have tried the 230gr LEE out of my 308 at...

I shoot 3.0 gr of 231 under the lee 125 RNFP boolit(130 my alloy) in my 9mm
Too slow can be inaccurate
Bullets have a min and max rpm for accuracy. That's why reloading can often be more accurate...

You can add some magnum shot to the pure to get a harder alloy.
Get some ww lead in the swappin section then water drop to get to the harder allows.
Load it in 357 loads in 38 brass ONLY if you...
Check your cylinder throats, then slug your bore.
Look for tightness at the barrel/frame joint.
With cast FIT is king
Jakxt bullets the copper grabs the rifling and blow by is no big deal.
Blow by from too small of cast will lead like crazy.
I like my cast to be .001-.002" over bore
I...

Handgun- cast, visual for obvious imperfection. Lube size shoot.
Rifle- cast, visual inspection, check diameter, weigh, lube size shoot

I stopped in walmart to buy some new tires for the car and saw they had Rem gold 225 packs of 22lr in stock for $11.17 a box. I bought my max of 3.
I would slug the barrel first. If barrel is tight at .429 than it wont matter. Also check for a constriction where the barrel and frame screw together.
I HAVENT.
I am happy with the Lee 125 gr RNFP in my 9mm and 38/357
It is mild over 2.8gr of 231
I got a steal on a 28-2 but I need to find some new springs. I need to know how to remove the pin that holds the Ejector/lock at the front of the ejector rod in. Does it drift r>l or l>r?
