So I bought a huge box of 9mm cases when they had them on sale. They are so clean that you have to lube the cases before loading so they don't get stuck on my powder funnel in my XL650. I am just curious if tumbling them in my tumbler filled with corn cob media that has polish in it would do the...

These are from an Accurate mold 45 - 200 I. Smooth walled for powder coating. With the alloy I'm using, they weigh in at 208 grains coated and sized. Powder coated with gray from Eastwood using the shake and bake method.

These pictures were taken with my cell phone. Hopefully you can see them. Beagle had asked me for pictures of bullets powder coated with a Caswell PC gun, so here they are from 4 directions. Can't really see much with the grey. The only other color I have right now is black. It does a...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vYymZZe4lo I thought the loadmaster fans would find this interesting. Would have saved me some frustration when I owned one.

Accurate Molds #35-125PZ. I specified .358 diameter so it is marked 358125PZ. It is a 5 cavity mold and the bullet weighs 129 grains as cast and measures .3585 at the seam mark and .358 at 90 degrees from the seam mark. I could not get very good pics with or without flash so these 3 are the ones...

So today I wanted to cast with the second mold I ever bought and started to panic when I couldn't find it. Turns out I had removed it from the handles to use with a different mold and put it in a little cubby hole for safe keeping. It is a MP 359 - 125 rf hollow point. Hope I don't try to lose...

I decided to cast some 9mm bullets with the first mold I ever purchased. It is a Lee TL356-124-2R 2 cavity. 124 grains tumble lube round nose with bevel base. It's been 3 or 4 years. I decided to powder coat these. The powder is from Powder By The Pound and is one of the oranges. Forgot which...

http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Precision-Shotshell-Reloading-Press/dp/B000NTKD28/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2HW4ODLJATN5W I see these outrageous listings on Amazon from time to time. Who would think that a Lee shot shell reloader would be listed for $9,993.50 + $6.49 shipping.

So, I have been using a Lee ergo prime and priming on press. The ergo prime unit does work, but has a hiccup every once in a while (the tray cover pops off and also feeds 2 primers at once up the ramp) that is annoying. I have seen in various threads here and at cast boolits about solutions for...

When I first got this mold last year, It would not cast a bullet without flashing. No matter what I did, flashing all around except the bottom. I put it aside intending to contact NOE for a repair or replacement. Forgot all about it. Last week, Beagle posted about the new brass NOE mold he got...

Rangefinder over on castboolits had described his method of using a tumbler to coat bullets with powder paint. I decided to try it. You put about a 1/4 cup of Laquer thinner in the bowl, about 100 bullets in the bowl, turn the tumbler on, then sprinkle the powder over the bullets (about 1 tbs)...

I just received this mold from Factory Sales and will say I am impressed for $46.72. It was $32.97 plus $13.75 for shipping. Lee lists it for $53.99 plus shipping but they are out of stock. It has steel alignment pins that fit into steel sleeves in the mating hole. The mold faces are machined...

I have tried the 2 part epoxy paint with HBN powder mixed in. It works OK. I will post pictures of that later. I have been researching the powder coat system and have seen video's of people doing it with various brands of guns. I have noticed that the Harbor Freight gun needs to be shook often...

I got a new mold today. It is a brass 4 cavity with the penta pins, normal round pins and I got plug pins to cast solid flat nose. I have only cast the solid point so far. I like it. Using what's left of my range lead.

I have a mold that is for gas checked bullets. I have found that there is no difference in accuracy between the bullet out of this mold and another mold's bullets I have with no gas checks. I get no leading with either bullet. I like the bullets from the mold with the gas checks. It is a NOE...

Am I wrong in thinking that if a web store page says an item is in stock, then I should expect them to ship the order with in a day or two? On 3/16/2012 I ordered 1000 55gr fmjbt .223 bullets and 300 processed once fired cases. Both items said in stock, shipped from stock on hand. 4 days later I...

I have been reloading for my pistols for the last two years and a few months. Now I am going to start reloading .223's. I have a tube of case lube from lee that I got with my Lee anniversary breechlock challenger single stage that I never used. How do you tell when you have enough on the case...

I have noticed something about these primers I am using in myt .357 mag loads. When I look at the spent primers, I notice that some of the anvils get ejected from the primer. I don't know where the anvils are going. Down my barrel? Is this a bad thing?

I just ordered one of these this morning. The only mold I have used is a Lee mold for 9mm .356 round nose 124gr tumble lube. It works OK. The MP-Mold will have one grease groove instead of the many shallow grooves the Lee mold has. Can I still tumble the bullets in LLA? I'm thinking that won't...
