500 Watts/120 Volts = 4.16 Amps. 120 Volts/4.16 Amps = 28.8 ohms. If you check the 2 wires going into the pot (the heating element) your meter should read ~ 30 ohms.

I use mine a lot and have shot several. As a matter of fact I have a spare body on the shelf. The last time I shot one was with a 50Beo and yes the barrel is 3" lower than the scope. Still haven't...

When I first got my 300 blk I loaded 20 bullets, 10 with IMR 4227 and 10 with IMR 4198. The bullets loaded with IMR 4227 would not cycle the rifle but the IMR 4198 worked great. If I were you I'd...

I've been reloading for the FiveSeven for about 10 years. I don't cast for it but use Hornady 35 and 40 gr V-Max bullets. In my opinion True Blue is the best powder but very hard to find. It is...

I'm 60 years old and will probably leave powder and primers for my son.

If you have 220 volts at the pot you should also have a neutral (white) wire. Either hot wire to the neutral is 110 volts. Also, the 220 volts to the pot just goes through the relay so you can...

The Alexander Arms web site as several loads for the 50 Beowulf using 2400.
Get the master model with the external display/control so that when you hit it you will only have to buy the sensors. Believe it or not I hit mine last week with a 50 Beowulf and after I glued the...

I thought I would try to explain PID control for the guys here who are using PID controllers but do not know exactly how it works. Most probably don’t care as long as it works or will just use...
Forum: Gas Checks
I just bought my first gas check mold and have some questions. First, do I size the gas check with the bullet or just press it on after the bullet is sized and lubed. I got a sample pack of 22 cal...

Thanks for the info so far. I would like to cast for my AR15 but obviously need to learn a lot more before I start. I have never used gas checks but it looks they may work.

I have always cast for pistol bullets so speed was never a problem. My understanding is that 1000 fps is the max speed for lead bullets but does this increase any above 1000 fps when you use a gas...

I use Felix Lube and get no leading in my 1911s. I found it on this forum. It did take some time to get all of the ingredients. The biggest problem was Lanolin but I finally found it at Walmart in...
