Try warming your bullets before powder coating. I deal with high Humidity and cool temperatures here in North Carolina and have found if I warm the boolits to a feel of very warm before I try to...

UPDATE: I stretched the spring in the magazine and now the magazine works much better. I don't know if it will last but I will update after awhile.

On a multi-cavity mold can you use the same bullet to do all the cavities or should you use a bullet that was made in each cavity to leement?

I am about to order a NOE HP mold and wondered how well they work? How do the HP pins get out of the way when you open the mold to drop the bullets?

Does anyone know if Unique powder is position sensitive in the 223 case. I thought about trying to use unique to try and save some $ on plinking with my AR-15. I thought about 9 gr. with the bator 22.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Loaded about 100, 223's today. I tried the 30-06 expanding pin from the sizing die.Worked like a charm. Just barely touched the cases to the die in the press and it flared it enough(you could not...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
thanks for the input. My lee 30-06 FL die is about a year old so it should have the EZ-Xpander. I will be trying to get some loading done early this week and will give it a try.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Thanks guys, I have a 30-06 die set. I will try using the expanding pin from that sizing die and see if that works.

Post #2 from Walter is good information, the only thing I change is using parchment paper in place of non stick foil. I find the bullets do not stick as much to parchment paper. I also use vinyl...
just tried the link, 3-30-14. I'm using firefox and the link is not working. Anyone know if the link is dead or is it just me?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I use the thin vinyl disposable gloves to pick up the bullets and put them on parchment paper. Just pinch a little powder to start and it doesn't remove any PC from the bullets. The parchment paper...
