Hey folks, I wanted to pique some feedback on what my issue might be for a diagnostic. I have a Lone Wolf barrel in 40SW that I am planning on using for my cast bullets, using mold 401-175 TC. My OAL is 1.130, using 6.0 gn of Power Pistol. I loaded a batch for the first outing with the new...

Hello again! I have been reloading a lot more on a single stage press than my progressive recently. My single most time consuming process now has been charging cases with powder, and wanted to speed that up a little. The Lee powder measure is accurate with a few taps each charge, but I have...

Boy, has casting been a learning experience. I've spent the last few months pondering, and eventually getting all of my casting equipment together. Now I know what everyone is talking about when they mention the rhythm of casting! I've been playing around a lot, and finally have confidence in...

I have a silly question that I cannot find an answer to: Can I use LRN and LSWC of the same bullet weight interchangeably? I'm talking of recipes that call for a LSWC in .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .40 S&W.

Has anyone ever tried casting bullets using lead shot? I found a decent deal in my area for 50lbs/$45.00. Antimony content is 6%/94% lead.

Hey folks. I've been casting and pan lubing my bullets for about a month, and pan lubing seems to be extremely messy. I have other things in mind when it comes to budget (I'm not buying a lubrisizer just yet), and I don't mind the extra steps of pan lubing...... But when I'm sizing, the results...

I just wanted to share something with you folks about my experiences with reloading. I bought myself a progressive press for Christmas so I could start rolling my own. I learned as much as I could and opted for a progressive press to save time, because I though those old single stage presses...

Hey all, I purchased some bullets on 4-18-12, and was told by them that my order would ship by the next day (via express mail). Well, it's the 2nd and I haven't gotten them yet. Has anyone had good experience with them? This is my last order of bullets to tie me over until I start casting...

Hey folks! This might sound a little funny, but has anyone ever used or has experience with using crayon wax as bullet lube? Just a random thought.... I'm working on getting a casting setup here at the fort, and might end up experimenting with a few things.

I'm repainting my Lee Loadmaster the same color as a Dillon to settle a dispute with a buddy of mine. I KNOW this might make a few of you upset, but I can just imagine that he'll be off of his rocker for quite some time.:D Please don't judge me..... What is that color called?

Hello again, I'm fishing for some opinions on your preferred powder in .357 and 38 special (same powder if possible). I'm looking for something that can accept standard CCI 500 primers, and burns clean with 158gn LSWC. The powder I'm using now is dirty dirty dirty, and I don't have a ton of...

Hello all, I recently purchased a Lee bullet feeder with the 4 tube adapter for 40sw and 357 caliber bullets. I set this up last night just to see if it works, and the thing is making my press vibrate so bad that it is rattling the bullets off of the feed lips. I know I'm doing something wrong...

Hello again, folks. I come with yet another question, as I'm exploring a few possibilities of my current setup. I'm really liking the idea of having a powder check die on my press as of recent for ease of use and mind. But the questions is; Where do I put the dang thing. Any suggestions? My...

I may be just a worrywart on this, but I'm somewhat new to reloading and want some confirmation (I load 40sw, 357 and 38). I've loaded some 357 and 38 special with power pistol, and off the bat, I'm having a really hard time visually confirming powder level with the tall revolver casings. So, to...

I have a question about my Lee FCD. When I completely unscrew the crimp adjustment nob, I see there is a metal floating cylinder inside. Well, there looks to be two different shapes to either side. Do Lee FCD come with the roll and taper crimp? Not sure it this makes sense, can you help?

Hello all, I'm pretty new to reloading, and just started loading on my setup listed below: Lee loadmaster with factiory crimp die 180 gn Powerbond bullets 6.4 gn Power Pistol powder (Start load) CCI # 500 OAL 1.125 The press runs great, but I have encountered a few problems/issues as I have...
