Some people's experiences vary................some who just don't get it vary more than others.
Sheesh! I had to force myself to finish that thread! Ya just want to look him up and smack the back of his head to get his attention! 40 years of loading eperience? Sounds more like 4 days!
Ya can't cure stooopid!
How's that hope and change working for you?
After reading the entire thread, it is apparent the OP hasn't a clue nor does he want to admit that he MAY have caused the problem! Case in point...the following is a quote from him:
You belief is incorrect; a factory crimp die has no resemblance at all with a sizing die; particularly in 9 MM. 9 MM is a tapered shell so the sizing die contacts the entire surface of the shell to reshape the taper not jsut a carbide collar; that's why lubing 9's is valuable because without lube there is so much pressure on the brass that it accelerates the creation of the bulge at the base of the shell, the lube minimizes that. A factory crimp die has an adjustable collar that extends a taper crimp and forms the cartridge down further where the bullet base is in the shell. I'd take one apart and photograph one but mine are all set and don't want to have to reset them.
Obviously he is NOT thinking about what has been said to him. I would think that a light might go off in his head that removing the said "bulge" in the case would be in fact swaging the boolit down. It seems to me that this is a classic case of "throwing pears before swine" because he has no interest in learning from others or listening to the well intentioned comments. His mind is set and NOTHING will change it.

Beware of man who types much, but says nothing.
I'd have to agree with the vendor, tell the OP to take his business elsewhere. He's an idiot.
Unfortunatley there is no helping him, because he doesn't want to be helped.
My favorite myth is the one about not being able to shoot cast in a rifle faster than 1200fps with out leading.
I offered a fellow to let him shoot my 35 whelen with my cast boolits and then check for leading.
The deal was he would have to shoot the WHOLE box of 50 rounds and THEN check. Well 180gr going 2400fps in a 6pound gun gives quite a kick, so I'd be sure the impression left on him would be multifold when the test was done. Still waiting for him to do the shooting part.
There are lots of folks out there that elected a false promise in 2008. Many still think they did the right thing, and will do it again in 2012. It's like not seeing the forrest because the trees are in the way.
This loader simply refuses, to see his mistake, because he wont accept the responsibility, for what he did.
I wanna know how he got all the leading out of his barrel.
NOBODY TELL HIM THE EASY WAY TO DO IT!
He probably bought a new barrel- his was obviously ruined. Maybe The bullet company will get sued for the cost of the barrel?
I suggest the OP go back to using jacketed bullets.
I got this.
May I explain that statement?Originally Posted by btroj

Ah yes, the instant expert. My favorite kind.
This is the kind of guy who gives cast a bad name. I have run into his type on occasion, I tend to ignore them. They are best left to marinate in their own stupidity.
I feel stupider after reading all that. I am now afraid to go cast and reload.
It doesn't matter if its 4 or 40 years, If you don't fix your mistakes and do things correctly you are still wrong.
I'm still finding things I've been doing wrong or the hard way. Easy is better.
I would like to thank the members here that have posted on that thread, for not directing him here!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

Cast boolets are the true and rightious path to shooting bliss.
I hope nobody is dumb enough to direct him here. The mods will kill the guilty party for the grief it will cause. One guy like him could get half the members here banned!
I hear that!
His first thread here would probably result in a dozen of us being banned ...

Yes, and the stupid often don't know their ignorance. Fatal flaw of knowing it all.
