For shorter cartridges like .243, you must use an Extended shell holder. The same one fits .243 that also does .308, 300 Savage, and other cartridges of the same head size. The originals made by...

The Mold was brand new. Can't return it if I cast something in it. I sent it back. Still haven't heard anything from Lyman on their ticket # that I was assigned or on a return phone call. I...

I knew the design was the same but the sizing is usually designated by the first three numbers. Most molds drop a couple of thousands larger depending on the lead composition. 428 is such a...

Yesterday I received a new bullet mold and the box had the correct number of 429215. The mold inside was numbered 428215JV. I called Lyman's customer service numbers and when I entered the...

It's been a while for me and I did have a couple of Saeco bottom pours but when I started I used to use a large black iron skillet and set it on a one burner hot plate and I used a ladle. It worked...

One of the things I liked in my model 60 when I used it as a backup on the road, was a 148 Hollow Base wadcutter loaded backwards. Up close it hits hard but most hollow based wadcutters are not...

The mag primer may be the chief offender here. As posted above, Unique doesn't need a mag primer. The extra heat generated by the mag primer and quicker burn on unique as a result may be...

At one time I had a H&G mold for a #68 BB and a close friend had the same mold for a #68 flat base. I've shot both. I always thought the flat base gave me slightly better accuracy with the same...

I used to cast bullets a lot doing thousands at any one time. I also was the Chief firearms instructor for a indoor LEO range for 6 years. During that time I was exposed to a lot of harsh...

While they may not interest anyone here, 7.62 blanks in linked belts are in demand in some quarters and they never seem to have enough. The rounds have a good use though. Delink them and empty...

I started out with a Lee Loader years ago. I then went to a rockchucker when my wife gave me one for christmas. Over the 45 years since I've loaded some on a 310 tool and I even loaded some on...

I have a hand reamer and used to use an RCBS swager. Now I use the Dillon swaging tool as it's much faster than either of the other two. I have kept the reamer just in case I only have one or...

That seems like a lot of work to go to. Unless of course, the local powers won't let you have one which I understand may be the case in at least South Africa.

I tried some aluminum gas checks that were supposed to be .410 and turned out to be .420. They were made by someone down south. Not very satisfactory overall.

Since I can't find good .410 GC's I guess I'll have to study these plans to try and make some.

S&W hands for K and N frames measure .090 to .100. Anything .094 and below is considered standard and anything above that is oversized for repair work. They sell them but I don't think you'll find...
