Been using this thing for a year or so now on my brass. Picked up about 300 rounds from an old range. Brass super dirty and black. Ran tumbler twice. Six hours. Brass is spotless but is all nickel. Can the pins take brass off and are they safe to use. That or they were nickel to start but didn't...

I just bought a convertible Blackhawk in 45 colt and 45 acp. I slugged my barrel at .4505. Im figuring a cast .452 bullet out of my noe mold would be great for it. Measured my cylinders and they are .499 I think this is going to cause accuracy and leading issues in the revolver. I may be...

I had a friend send me a 100 lubed .402 sized bullets to try in my factory Glock barrel. Leaded like crazy after about 10 rounds. BHN around 20. I took and boiled lube off. Soaked in mineral spirits and used harbor freight red shake and bake. One full mag and barrel sparkles like new. The...

Found a new one at lgs today around $600. Was reading some and issues seem to be shooting cast which is what my husband wants. Also curious if it will shoot 45acp with moon clips. Thought it would make him a nice gift. Also looked at Ruger 1911 10 mm. Great looking gun and trigger way nicer...

I've found one slightly used with hogue grips and standard stag grips for $500 out the door. Prices a lot higher on web. I can handle the Glock and FN 45 no problem. Was wondering what recoil difference in the 1911 might be. Have never owned a 1911 and from what I read it appears they are not...

I've been shooting a glock 26 for 3-4 years and had a few hundred rounds left I had ran through it. Some Titegroup hs6 and hp38. Never any issues in the 26 but stove piping and fte with my 19. Not limp wristing and gun may have 200 rounds through it. Gen 4. Can't figure out why. Shoots factory...

Anywhere on this forum to search for lead ingots being sold. Need 50 lbs. ww or range lead.

I've been using around 23 grains of H110 and a 240 Hornady xtp. I am going to try some hard gas checked bullets in it. I have had great luck with the H110 and was wondering how fast I could safely push this through my Henry Big Boy steel with the cast. I had tried 2400 with the xtp but the H110...

These had about 15-20 I would consider keeping. Cast from ingots from wheel weights I melted into ingots yesterday. Coleman stove little sauce pan and a bent soup spoon. Just trying it out before I buy real equipment. Lee 2 cavity mold. No thermometer just guess work. Pan maybe 4 inches deep and...

Got 2 ARs and neither get much action. I plan to keep the FN because my husband says I have to. I'm looking for a medium to heavy barrel bolt to handle my 68-69 grain reloads. AR s a 1-9 and does fine. We are getting a lot of coyotes coming in and I thought a little predator hunting might be...

I have never done this before but size seems off. I ran some rem oil through the bore of clean rifle. Lubed an egg sinker with Lee brass lube. Tapped it in and used a plastic punch until about 1 inch in the bore. I used a rod and pushed the bullet through with no issues by hand. I can see...

I've got this 1973 Marlin and have loaded 150 gr Sierra SP with imr 3031 and 165 grain Missouri lead ith h4895. It don't shoot for crap. Scoped and can't get good groups at 25 yards much less 100. The 165 are sized at .311. Supposed to be for micro groove rifling. Took scope off and tried...

New cartridge to me. I load 45 colt and 30-30 in cast. I think the laser cast in the 45 are ok for paper but I've yet to find one expand. Maybe a 12-15 Bh from what I've read. Deer inside 100 yards. Don't know if I need to order with gas checks or powder coating. Have yet to slug the barrel on...

I just picked up a big boy steel Henry this weekend and was wondering if anyone has one and what accuracy you are having with either jacketed or lead bullets. I am going to use it for my 100 yard food plot this fall. Eyes are too bad to use sights but put a red dot on it. I need to slug the...

I got this today and it will not adjust at all. No matter which way you turn it. Maybe not holding my mouth right. Screw is almost too tight to turn by hand. Any ideas.

Looking to speed up process on 223-9mm and 45 colt. Which is best and what other accessories besides shell plates do I need to buy. Been loadin all these on single stage classic cast. Saw a lot of videos on the Dillon and it looked confusing and cost triple the price. If either press is no good...

Does anyone besides myself go to you tube to see gun reviews. I personally go straight to Hickock 45 for anything handgun or lever. I wish I could shoot that good.

I picked a box of 120 ttsx at Cabelas a few weeks ago. My Tikka likes the 2.80 to 2.810 oal. I've tried some Varget and imr 4350. 4350 has been my best powder so far in this rifle from 120 Noslers to 162 Hornady eldx. I'm wondering if I shouldn't seat these to the cannilure and do a light crimp...

I've been using Unique with 250 grain laser cast and Missouri lead bullets. No gas checks. Picked up a pound of HS6 to try today. Have read I can get a little more velocity. 9 grains Unique giving me 1112 fps with the Missouri bullet. Tried max load of 6.3 grains of Titegroup on the lazercast...

I ordered some things from Midway last week. No free shipping and I noticed Lees 2nd edition on sale with no shipping so I though what the heck and bought it. Unique not even listed as a 45 colt load. More information on dippers than I ever care to know. My Sierra and Hornady are way better...
