I have a Lee 452-230 truncated cone six cavity mold, the regular lube groove type. The problem I have with it is that there is a chamfer on the base of the boolit. I have never seen a cast boolit...

I use the rcbs 22-055-sp gas checked. 19.5 grns IMR4895 with 1/2 grn dacron filler. Tula primers. Water cooled wheel weights around 20 brinell hardness with Randy rate puke green lube. With iron...

I thought about that but I really don't need a six cavity 45-70 mold and I already have a 45-70 mold that I am happy with. This is the reason why Lee can get away with the prices they charge on some...

Ok thanks guys. I called them and they told me to send it back and they would replace it. The guy thought I was crazy when I told them they should pay to have it shipped. Oh well.

This is my...

I just got a six cavity Lee 452-200-RF with the intention of using it for 45 acp and the thing casts boolits way to fat. They drop at .457! Running them through a .452 sizer and there is almost no...

I size my .314s for mosin nagant to .311 for 30-06 to avoid buying another mold. Even 3 thousandths takes more force to size than I would have thought. I wouldn't want to size much more than that off...

Yeah that's the great thing about using gas checks in pistol calibers. Technically you shouldn't need a gas check for 9mm or other high pressure rounds but after much experimentation with loads,...

I use that method all the time, it works great and stops leading in my 9mm. There is no need for a "plain based" gas check if you have the tooling to make regular checks with. Just flare the case...

Good idea. I am still trying to perfect the crimp on the lee loader. You gave me an idea, it could be due to insufficient or uneven crimp as well. Ill try that and the magnum primers and see how it...

Captaint, I am aware of the labeling on the package.

Thanks for the clarification Larry, that is good news because I have plenty of WLRs.

Thanks for the observation Rich. I took what Larry said literally but I see what you are saying. Perhaps Larry is trying to say that the WLR primers burn hotter than the CCI 200? If not I will need...

Thanks for the help. I have some WLR primers so I will try those next week.

Sorry about that Larry. Lee 450 grain flat nose sized to .459. 40 grains BLC2 with filler. CCI 200 Large rifle primers.

I tried some cast boolit loads in my H&R 45/70 handi rifle for the first time today. I was using BLC2 powder which was purchased a few months ago and has been used in several other cartridges without...

This is from my Lyman 4th edition book:

N-133 (just a smidge slower than your 3031)

Lee C312-185-1R Starting load: 27.5 grn (1577 fps) Max load: 35.5 grn (2152 fps)

That should get you to...

Unfortunately I haven't had time to mess with this project any more, but I got my hands on some .316 boolits to try. I plan to slug the throat, check the bore with a scope, and follow everyone's...

I have used 12 ga 3.5" a lot and have recently switched to the 10 ga. People think the 10 ga is overkill, but when using steel shot, the 10 ga is really nice. I get much more shot on target and...

I would start around 8 grains and work your way up from there. I have used as much as 12 grains under a 200 gr boolit in the mosin.

I didn't think of that. Thanks Larry.

Ok thanks a lot guys. I'll give it a try and report back. I don't have any 2400 or similar powder on hand so it will either have to be fairly slow BLC2, WC844 or fast pistol powders like universal...

OK thanks for the help. Ill try putting some foil between the mold halves or just get one of those .316 NOE molds.

I was wondering if in this case loading the rounds longer until the bullet...

I finally got around to adjusting the iron sights and loading up some 7.62x54 rounds to try. My rifle was shooting about a foot high at 50 yds with milsurp ammo so I took a piece of 1/8" brass rod...

I was about the buy 5000 until I saw they were magnums. Dang... I like the regular ones for 9mm.

Before you start modifying your glock, try practicing with it some more. As stated, they are meant to be used in self defense situations, most of which are inside of ten yards. I shoot my glock 30 a...
