hey, guys! you're right! casting equipment IS missing!

i've collected a few things over the years and intend to get started seriously this spring or early summer, when i get the hang of...

guys -

it looks as though i'm pretty well set up, thanks, to friends, family and a small raise that i recently received at work!

for dies, here's how things are looking:

guys -

thanks to WingMaster at www.baitshopboyz.com, i am now only in need of a herter's #2 (.30/30) shell holder.

thanks for the links! i will check them out!:drinks:

p.s. - pretty cold up here this time of year, isn't it? i don't think the rest of the word understands.....:-?

i'm getting my reloading room set up, and over the past year have acquired two presses. one of them is a herter's press, which requires either an adapter shell holder or herters' proprietary shell...

another fan of the lee loader here!

i've got one for each chambering (.308, .30/30, .7x57 and .280). wouldn't be caught dead without one and wouldn't have a rifle that doesn't have a corresponding...

if i may be bold enough to offer an opinion, i think your boy's intentions were in the right place. we all need a few years to gain experience in dealing with individual situations, and i...

i'm shooting a newer (1999 or 2000?) marlin m336CS. wonderful rifle with good walnut and pretty darn good accuracy. it does of course have the microgroove rifling, but my...

hi, piwo -

i grew up in chinook, montana, which is in the north-central part of the state about 35 miles south of canada. after moving around a bit, i came back home and am glad to be...

thaks for the replies -

i'm about halfway set up for cast and will be all the way set up ahead of schedule. i really just need to get a pot, a 150-grn mold (i've got a 113 and a 170) and a ladle,...

thanks for the replies so far, guys, they pretty much reinforce what i've seen for myself: the 150-grn bullet out of a .30/30 is just fine for deer. i've seen for myself that it works very well at...

yep, there's no problem at all with the 150 grain bullet for deer. i've shot one with that weight bullet, my oldest son has shot two and my 3rd son shot his first deer with one this year. all dropped...

in a year or two, i'll be casting my own. until then, i'm finding it hard to decide between flat or blunt round-nose, remington, winchester, hornady, sierra, speer, you name it.....

until hornady...

thanks for the comments so far, guys - please keep em coming! as far as i am concerned, the more the better. for those with some problems, this link below might help. also some of these rplies seem...

i am strongly leaning toward getting one of these. i have read dozens of reviews, good and bad. it seems that good good outweigh the bad and the bad can be dealt with rather easily.

any comments...

hi, al - how ya doing?

i've got 2 lee molds, a 150 and 170-grain. i ahd a 150, but it was lost on our various moves. heard good things about lyman moulds - might have to look into one!
...

gentlemen -

for the moment, everything is gone. i might have some other stuff in the near future. if so, i'll post it here!

if memory serves, you can download charge tables at lee's web site, www.leeprecision.com. i haven't been there in a while, but i seem to remember them being there. also, i found that you can email...

whoops!

it would have helped to mention that - sorry.

fiber - it's actually .308 brass. otherwise known as 7.62 NATO, of course.

kodiak -

if your old lee pot needs a home, PM me and maybe we can make a deal. my kids and i are looking to start casting (i started learning about 2 years ago, but had to quit when we moved....

garand -

as you probably know, the a-max is an outstanding match or target-grade bullet. at present i'd like to concentrate on loading and developing loads for hunting applications, so they would...

the reading i have done suggests that the target models mid-to-late 60's, maybe very early 70s. i wasn't around then (born in 1971), so perhaps some of our more "seasoned" members can chime...

hey -

i am slowly assembling all of my reloading stuff and components that have been spread out over all our posessions during the past few years. as i get it all together in one place, i am...

cat -

PM and email sent - thank you very much!

to all - i am now looking only for a .280 rem (AKA 7mm express). if anyone has or finds one, please let me know.

also, i have a few...
