Well today so far is a bust. Spent an hour making nothing but recycled scrap. So I'm using a Lee dipper pot set at temperature setting 7. In my Ideal 358429 this is what I came up with today. Base of the boolit is out of round and look like trash. What is causing it?
And this is a damn wreck. So I have roughly 60 rounds of this Black MZ powder load taking up my 357 Magnum brass. I don't really care to shoot it anymore since I have real black powder so I figured I would take them down and recycle all the stuff and use the cases for 2400 loads. Well once I pulled the copper plated bullets I ended up with this crap. The powder is in solid form and is stuck inside the brass. If I beat it with the bullet puller without the bullet in place the powder sometimes breaks off but some is still in there no matter what. Suggestions? These have live primers in them too BTW. Oh and if you look on the right hand side and see that score mark on the powder. That was from a nail when I tried to break it up to fall out! SOLID!
