Mod, This might belong in casting, and if you so choose, move it. It's part of reloading after the casting is done.:D Anyway, making my own custom bullet punch from a punch I drilled out. Can't seem to find the right punch for a .270 spire point. Several issues arise. If I don't turn the...

Have been tryi9ng out some cast loads in my built AK. Using that RCBS 7.62 SP, 130 GC mold, looks just like military ball ammo. Loading it on top of some AA2200 I have had for years. I just wanted some plinker loads, and was afraid low power loads might not function the action. Recommended...

According to the 'structions, the 311 top punch is called for if sizing/lubing the 358212 pill. This is th 145/147 gr for the 9mm. The ogive is a bit different than the other RN molds like the xxx242 or the xxx311, et al. I am getting a ring impressed into the side of the bullet about halfway...

Met one of Dad's loading buddies the other day at farm, and he was telling me of his inability to find load data for a 45-75 round. I have heard of 45-70, 45-90, 45-110 etc, but never a 45-75. I googled and found a few examples, but have still heard very little about them. He claims it's...

I have both the LYMAN 125 Truncated Cone(TC) mold, and the RCBS 124 CN mold. I have a bunch of both cast up, sized, and lubed; just put away and ready to load. The RCBS is just a shorter truncated cone than the LYMAN design, but just what in the sam hill does CN stand for. "N" is nose, but...

I still have a couple 8# jugs of AA 2200 I bought on the cheap at the Tulsa Gunshow a number of years back. Have loaded up .223 using it wiht pretty decent functionality results. It's kinda dirty, but it's cheap. I still have the little pamphlet of some of the early loadings AA suggested...

Dad and I were down in his reloading room the other day and he showed me a lead cast projo that he thought I had left there. I had not, and neither of us have the mould for it. He would like to locate it, it appears to perhaps work in the FAL, in 308 cal. This one is a flat base, sorry for...

I have seen these shotshell reloader tables before, but for the life if me, I can't locate them again. I thought they were on the Ballistic Products website, but I have hit every link on that site. Actually, even when I looked at their wad selection, it doesn't seem to be the site I am looking...

There is a fairly nice 311008 DC mould at auction. They always list this projo for the 32-20, but it is a 311 mould. I see no reason this can't be used for the 30-30 for plinkin'. It looks like two grease grooves, not really a crimp groove, and I have never loaded 32-30, which may not need any...

I didn't want to hijack the thread below on the 7mm Magnum conundrum, but I'll ask this here to see what the hive says. Some here say that changing any component from the listed loadings will/could cause catastrophic things to happen. I certainly would not use Magnum primers for standard load...

I haven't loaded for the 30-30 before. Picked up a Win 94 at a show a few years ago, and then a batch of brass off the gunbroker site, or maybe is was the othe egay site when they still did it. Tumbled all brass, some still a bit dark, but shootable. Micced all brass (about 750) last night to...

Is there such a thing? For as long as I have been casting and reloading, I have never owned anything in 270. Brother in law is getting the itch, so I thought I'd try to find a mold. LEE lists nothing in .270. I looked at the LYMAN site, and only find 6.5 and 7mm listings. Heck, I don't even...

I just bought a new LEE three die set for the 30-30 Winchester. If some recall, I had that older CH sizing die that I got in a set of reloading stuff from another reloader yeas ago, but lacked the rest of the die set, and it is missing the neck resizer. Got started sizing some brass, and...

I know, I know, why does one prick around with high brass hulls. I picked these up free long ago, they are Winchester 00 Buck hulls. After casting up a bunch of RB, gonna load up a batch of bugout buck loads, and just want to use the hulls as self identifying. I'm getting old, OK Anyway, my...

Years ago, I bought the inventory from a fellow reloader who died. Told his wife he wanted it to go to another reloader who would use it and not just piece it out at a sale. 'Twas a batch of 148 grain wadcutter bullets all lubed up, about 500+/-. I finally had some time to get serious with...

I think it was here, or at least a reference from here to check out White Label Lube. I ordered some last year, just now getting around to ussing it on a batch of 40 S&W 175 pills. Claims to not need a heater, but it takes quite a crank on the top screw to get the band to fill out. I am using...

Came across a single die in a batch of stuff I got from a reloader who died and who told his friend to sell it to someone that will use it, not just take it to a flea market for cash. It's a 30-30 sizing/depriming die, and the only maker marks I can find on it are a CH, with the H being inside...

Had a neighbor drag over some what he called "older" ammo tonight. Some is just Walmart shotshell game loads and some Remington +P 38 sp (that is in another thread on TFL too), but there are bout 3 or 4 boxes of older 30-30 Winchester ammo. I'll try to add the pics, so give me some time if you...

I can't throw anything away, and was just given some ammo from a neighbor that got it from his Dad's stuff. He has no use for it, and brought it over. About a half a box of 125gr HP Remington +P 38 Special ammo. I shoot nearly all my own cast lead reloads for just plinkin' and generally not...
