I have a Saeco that's the same post as your Lyman which I absolutely love. I also have a Pro Melt. Those old Lyman/Saecos are awesome.

I'm looking for a good 40 S&W mold. Please let me know if you have one for sale.

That's actually what I'm looking at doing right now.

I have come to realize I've now accumulated six presses and bunch of other equipment sitting on or scattered around my bench and I want to organize it. I'm looking at using a Lee Bench Plate to swap...

I just bought a Lee Classic Turret that I haven't even taken out of the box yet (hoping to set it up this weekend).
I have lots of RCBS carbide pistol die sets. RCBS pistol dies do not have a...

Were the rusted parts on here originally painted or blued?
I'm thinking of hitting them with some steel wool at some point in the near future, but am wondering what to finish them with to keep...

I managed to find a used RCBS Pro Melt (not easy right now). It's got some surface rust I plan to clean up.
The label looks different from other ones I have seen and the date of manufacture is...

Thank you sir! If you don't mind me asking, what loads did you use with Red Dot? I've got a ton of the stuff since I use it for most of my pistol loads.

I just purchased a 1950 336SC 30-30 on Gunbroker that I should have in a couple weeks. For those of you with similar rifles, what do you size at? I've searched and it seems to vary anywhere between...

@Bazoo
What are you sizing your boolits at?
Are you using the 30R or 31R expander plug in the M die?

What dies do you prefer to load 30-30?
I was looking at the RCBS Cowboy dies and they are expensive, but also say only to use them for cast boolits...and I want to be able to load both cast and...

I have a set of handles on the way from Rick. Thank you for the reference!
Forum: Casting Equipment
I appreciate all the advice.
If I have the top of the mold milled to true it wouldn't I lose mass at the base of the bullet?
I can try to take some more close up pictures tomorrow if that...

Another question:
The top of the sprue plate is covered in surface rust as are the screw heads.
Would soaking them in Evaporust and then cold blueing them with Oxphoblue be a bad idea?

I bought a rather beat up 4 cavity H&G mold that appears to be a 158gr SWC or similar.
The exterior of the mold looks like someone took a hammer or a piece of metal bar to it.

I just came into an older H&G 4 cavity mold that did not come with handles.
Does anyone know where I can get (or modify) a set of handles to fit it?

I picked up an old RCBS Pro Melt and an old RCBS LAM 1 within the past six months (I need to clean them both up since they both have a decent amount of rust). I want to cast outdoors and was thinking...
For a light recoiling and somewhat clean powdercoated-lead SWC 45 ACP load do you prefer Alliant Red Dot or Hogdon Clays?
What charge weight would you run for a 185gr SWC? I keep hearing that Red Dot is dirty at low charges. Is this your experience?
UPDATE
Well, I just lengthened the OAL to 1.226 and tightened the crimp to .470 and...what do you know...the dummy round feeds smoothly in everything.
Now it's time to figure out what powder...
It's been a long time since I've reloaded anything and I never have reloaded SWC rounds in a semi auto.
