I also use the CProducts mags and haven't had a problem with loading jacketed bullets. I haven't tried cast in it yet.

I have an older 300-221 Fireball barrel (Off brand 300 Whisper from before the 300 Blackout came out.) It has a standard buffer and carbine length gas with a regular gas block. I run supersonic...

Why flux before the jackets are removed?

Nevermind, apparently that video I posted was full of what not to do.

I tried some 200gr SWC's and mine. They cycled just fine, but accuracy was abysmal at 50 yards. I just got a 230gr RN mold and will try some of those through the rifle once I cast some. I don't...

I've loaded a master cast 200gr SWC that is very similar for my dad's 45 LC and my 45 ACP. I cast some of the TL variety of Lee's 200 gr SWC that we will try in his Ruger once the current supply...

I used Alumahyde on my 6.8 SPC and have been pleased with the finish so far. I didn't really need to fill any pits as the rifle wasn't very old when I coated it. I put some pictures of the process...

Good to hear. I shot some, maybe around 20, with LLA and some with powder coat a couple weekends ago. I only noticed a little powder fouling, no lead at all. I'm about out of the bullets I cast...

Was it brass or does Hornady make the 25 in their steel line of inexpensive competition ammo?

I just started this year and just added my 3rd mold.

Good to hear! I've experimented a little with the 230gr Lee with LLA and PC and have been getting about 1"-1.5" at 50 yards. I haven't tried it with gas checks yet.

I'm pretty new to casting as well. I found that with the Lee 309-230 I had to get the mold quite hot to get good casts. My Lee 45-200SWC heats up pretty quickly and casts well with some of the...

I have been using a bench vise to crush jacked bullets just enough to create a crack for the lead. That seems sufficient to lead all the lead to escape.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the ramped barrel. My Para and the Glock share a ramped barrel, where as my Springfield 1911 has the traditional ramp on the frame. I think the ramped barrel has...

I haven't tried LSWC in a Glock yet, but I have 2 1911s. A Springfield TRP that loves LSWC bullets and a Para Ordinance with a ramped barrel that has yet to reliably cycle any of the LSWC bullets...

I have loaded the Lee 309-230 in my 300 Whisper over AA 1680 and it cycles just fine in my 16" upper with carbine length gas. I haven't shot a lot of cast through it, but so far PC and LLA have...

I have exposed lead in jacketed bullets by crushing them with a vice. All you need is a small crack with exposed lead and it will melt out of the jacket.

I've been working with the Lee 309-230 in 300 Whisper and subsonic or slightly faster. I have shot it with LLA and powder coat and haven't noticed any leading so far. I think you could load...

I bought some Kydex from knifekits.com. Made a holster for my TRP with Streamlight M3:

I don't know much about the 45 Raptor, but the same guy that developed the 450 has an AR-10 based version called the 45 Professional.

I have tried some Lee 200gr SWC TL bullets that I had on hand...

I only have one of each, but it is hard to look at the measly pile of bullets the 2 hole molds make after and hour or two compared to the 6.

I haven't tried this one yet, but I have a 1 in 8" twist that stabilizes 220 gr Matchking bullets just fine. I would imagine this should stabilize with the 1 in 8".

Here is my first attempt with the mold and powder coating. I tried the dry tumble lube and I can definitely see where the bullets rested on the screen.

That's true, I like the SWCs in the pistol that shoots them well because they make very sharp holes. I've had several comments at IDPA matches how my holes look "bigger' than other 45s. One person...

AA #5 is my main powder for 45, 40 and 9mm.
