I've never loaded for the .454, but have loaded for m y big Smith & Wesson .500. I have over 50 years of reloading under my belt as well as casting boolits* for almost that long. First let me set it straight about adding more tin is going to make the boolit harder. It'll raise the hardness a...

Coated bullets seem to be all the rage these days. I've tried them, still have a large inventory of 9mm to use up. My results, on paper however, have been mixed. Coated by who, IE who made them, and coated with what? When coated boolits first were being experimented with, there were dozens of...

It looks to me that the FA tool uses the lee priming tool shell holders. Not surprising as so does the best, (in my experience), hand primer the K&M hand primer.( https://www.midwayusa.com/product/403299/k-and-m-primer-deluxe-hand-priming-tool ) It's straight up manual all the way including...

Loading .45 ACP, 5gr 231 over 230gr. round nose. Next time try putting the powder under the bullet.:neener::scrutiny:

I reload is for accuraticy. Well then you should learn how to spell accuracy.;):uhoh:

A quite a few men have caught the meaning of why I posted this thread, here and over on the cast boolits forum. Made a few men think about getting checked. Don't just think about it make an appointment! If you have a family doctor, any doc can do it, there must be bunghole 101 in med school. He...

My first trip to my oncologist today gave me a lot more info. A positive name for the type of bone cancer, metastatic derived from prostate cancer. The treatment regimen will be beamed radiation to shrink the tumors, and 2 types of oral chemotherapy. I begin both tomorrow, the radiation will...

[Gunny]USMC, post: 10897047, member: 176032"]Back in 2006 the doctor told me those dreaded words “You’ve got cancer”. I had stage 3 tonsils cancer and was given 6 months to live without treatments. Treatments were worse then the cancer, I had to take a year of sick leave. At times I wanted to...

metastatic prostate cancer Recent problems with my lower spine led me to get a MRI of that region. It showed several spots where metastatic bone cancer had started to grow. It interfered with my natural ability to control my bowel. Metastatic prostate cancer is what happens when the prostate...

I switched to CFE-P when I couldn't find any W-231. CFE-P was available in quantity AND the gun shop owner said there was plenty more available. I use it for my handmade coated 124 TC boolits in 9MM, charge weight,(I was going to give how much, but relying on my memory, well not gonna do it). I...

Actually, the properties of water is it can change from solid ice to vapor without going through the liquid state. IE freeze drying. It helps to apply a vacuum, speeds up the process. In a positive note, IIRC Hornady sells a case dryer that is simply a Dehydrator. Like for making jerky or...

Something I haven't seen mentioned is cleaning cases with an ultrasonic ,(USC), intead of going with wet tumbling. I tried it with HF (harbor freight) USC that was on sale for IIRC$45.00. It works! Cleaned with decapped brass, the primer pockets were spotless. The inside of the cases were...

You are very paranoid about lead contamination.. Yes, lead styphonate is a lead salt created by firing a primer. Leaving a fired primer in it's pocket until it's decapped, then priming right away like a lee classic turret or dillon machine would do it, will limit the lead contamination to a...

http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?138362-Why-Car-Batteries-Are-Dangerous The gases produced are lethal even in small, UNDETECTABLE levels. Don't do it! Also the Lyman recipe is heavy on the tin, you only NEED 2%, over 2% is wasted, adds expense to the alloy.

You're overthinking things. I lube, with Midway spray lube which is lanolin/alcohol mix, then size and right away load. Some lube does get inside the necks, but so what? I know it does because I can see some of the ball powder I use clinging to it. HORRORS! It just burns off. Think of it, by...

You CAN use a Lee classic turret to load .223 IF you have these 4 things accomplished first. 1. The brass does not have crimped primer pockets OR the crimps have been dealt with. 2. The cases doe NOT need to be trimmed. (A simple process of learning how much any of the cases will grow ,(get...

460Shooter said: ↑ Get the vacuum out AGAIN. No, please use a bench brush and dustpan.BTDT. As Pat Benatar may say "We live and learn by our mistakes..........." Care to elaborate? I see no problem with using a vacuum to clean up spilled powder.

I only use a ladder to climb higher than ground level. O.C.W. is a bastardization of the ladder system. The base foundation of the ladder system is 1. A well built bolt action rifle. 2. A very solid bench. 3. A solid rest front and back ,(not a rolled up coat on the hood of your car). 4. A...

Happy 50 K Anthony! A man that calms the waters of this forum repeatedly, and keeps this wild bunch on the straight and narrow. Especially ME!

You said two things that can't be said in the same sentence. Accuracy and mini thirty! While it's a fun gun to shoot, it's not a super accurate rifle. If you're bound and determined to try, the .310 bullets will work, the barrel will fire form them to whatever size it is. It is made to survive...
