I was given a bunch of bullets someone cast and lubed. They are a size and weight I will never use so I want to melt them and cast into bullets I will use. I know I can put the bullets on a rack on...

Another advantage of using the wash and wax is the very thin film of wax that is left on the cases makes them run very smoothly through the press. I can tell the difference on the press handle...
I recently purchased an Oasis shot maker and was told there was a forum board here for all things shot making but I have been unable to find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

I know brass can be formed from 45-70 or 40-65, what is the process for doing that? I really hate having cartridges with the wrong headstamp but .33 wcf brass is almost impossible to find.

I have a marlin 1895 chambered in .33 winchester that I would like to shoot. I don't believe there is any bullet company currently making a .338 flat nose bullet for this rifle so I am looking at...

I have been standing them up but I think I am going to try a batch just dumping them on the baking mat and see what happens.
I am thinking about making a sluice box type unit for reclaiming at my home range.
Have been using ginex primers for a couple of years with great results.

I shoot cowboy action and wild bunch so 45 colt and 45 acp for me.

I like to run as long as I can once I get my temps right and bullets filling out good. Once I run the pot out I take a break, refill the pot and go again once temp gets back to where I want it.

I have made a pretty good little side business of buying and selling used reloading equipment. Blue stuff (Dillon) will bring almost full retail for used because they are so far behind on new,...

Starting to see primers more frequently at online suppliers and prices coming down slowly. Target Sports Usa today has federal small pistol primers for $90 a thousand.

Shot the bullets today with no adverse effects.

I agree to not shoot them at a competition, they are just going in the practice box. I am working with my lead mixture to make the mold cast the weight I want. If you aren't familiar with wild bunch...

I loaded 100 before I realized I had forgot to size them. They do fit in a cartridge gauge and chamber in the pistol. I am using these for wild bunch competition so they are loaded pretty light,...

So I did a bone head move. I cast some bullets, powder coated them, and forgot to run them through the sizing die before loading them. I am using the Lee 6 cavity 45 cal 230 grain round nose tumble...

Good video and I picked up some things to try. What are the plates you are standing the bullets up on to put them in the oven?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Ordered some powder from smoke and PC'd my first bullets. Two different styles of 230 grain 45 acp. Did the blue ones first, shook with black bb's and baked at 400 for 30 mins. Tried the red next....

I was in a thrift store yesterday and picked up a big platter. On the back it was stamped RWP with Wilton below it. Is it pewter?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Thanks Bruce! I have been out of town and now doing christmas stuff so will probably contact him next week.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Thanks Bruce, let me know what you find out.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes, I have found the manual and the link to the parts list, what I can't do is get anyone at RCBS to answer the phone or an email so I can actually order the parts!
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Ummmm, I tried that number and it definitely WAS NOT RCBS! LMAO!!! You got me!
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
So what are some sources for pure tin in the wild, or do you have to buy that from somewhere like rotometals?
