Without sound like too much of an idiot, I would like to ask what is the proper procedure for cleaning/gutting a pig before roasting? Will be my first time to hunt hogs and never really was taught...

Any help on finding the correct lyman 4500 top punch for the LEE 200gr SWC 45acp boolits?


Thanks!

You may not be temp matching the mold. 6 cavs I usually bring up each chamber to temp individually and have never had luck by pre-heating on top of ol drippy. Try a hot plate next time if you can to...

Just for my curiosity what are you 9mm guys sizing your boolits down to and the weapon you fire it out of if you please. Just trying to see how much it varys here on CB. I was under the impression...

Anything less would be uncivilized

Congrats, I am half way there for the funds to order my own as well, can't wait!

I understand, however if you don't have the prior stations set up properly, any mishaps are not due to the last station. You need a control to determine that the FCD is the problem. Even if the lee...

I strongly disagree, the issue here is not the FCD, it is a sizing/belling issue. You will be just fine with a taper crimp die. I use hornady dies due to the fact you can seat and place enough crimp...

Mayb a stupid question here but have you tried removing the fcd from the equation all together? If so, was the result any different?

sprue should slice off with minimal resistance if it is hot enough. Can you further explain "doesn't cut right"? Also, the mould is warmed using what method and for how long? Type of mould?

The...

I am certain that the heat is sufficient last night it was 820 and there was no stop between cast to dump either. I am not sure of the temp of the mould but it was hot enough to lightly frost the...

this is from just now, only have my phone so I can't get any decent pictures. Cavities are much better but still seem asymmetrical as...

That's crazy, glad you are ok bub

Well, initial results are in and they do look better, but still not "perfect" I had to take the small butane torch to the mould to get it hot enough before the rain came but it worked a hell of a...

The spout is open flow pretty much, I am cleaning the mould now actually hoping to try again today

Wouldn't be worth your time in my opinion. I would instead offer them up as barter for brass, powder primers or what have you.

Cast 9mm by the 1k is about 35-40 with all the work done. Unless you...

I have a small thermometer I use in the pot and I keep it around 750-820 at max. When you say smoke the mould/ pins, can you elaborate a bit on that? Would something like brake clean be sufficient?...

Be forewarned, they look sad and will make you laugh probably but I have tried every thing to get some boolits from this mould and failed. I have no problems with any aluminum mould I have, just this...

I use the small flat rate boxes to store my boolits. USPS shoe boxes for brass by caliber and ammo cans for loaded ammunition/mags.

lookin good! I use the same mould and love the results, my glock on the other hand doesn't care too much for them when using the lone wolf barrel but the OEM eats um up just fine

after the rust is removed, what is a good method for storage coatings?

been reading up on the mulch traps but I am concerned with ricochet coming back should something exceed 2 feet and strike some sort of steel plate backing. Could it be possible to have a hinge on the...

yes, nickle works fine and citric acid is what lemishine is so they are interchangeable

3-400lbs, enough to last me 20 years or so at the rate I get to shoot :(

thanks for the help guys, guess I will try out some new lubes and save the winchester powders for 9mm
