Met a young lady from Florida this week. I thought about this thread and asked her if iguanas taste like alligator. She said NO! They taste like glue! Remember when you were a kid in school and...

The capsules are a great idea!

Instead of wax, how about Lee Liquid Alox to stick them in place? Would it degrade the capsule material?

It’s possible. They will stack haphazardly because two pellets side by side is larger than the bore diameter of the 20 gauge.

The stuff seems to last forever. I called them up to get my first bottle. He asked for my address and he said he would send it. I said don’t you need my credit card?

No. There will be a self...

Thumbed through my newest Lyman manual. Plenty of Longshot recipes. Some WSF and HS-6 loads as well. One recipe for N330 but only in Remington hulls, which I have none. But those powders stood out as...

I got the final pound of Unique from a shop in St. Louis a couple of months ago.

Where do you find components in Franklin now that the Franklin gun shop changed ownership?

I wish I could find Green Dot. Been looking for a couple of years.

Haven’t found anything clays in a long time either. Heard from the owner of a class 3 shop that the equipment to produce it was...

Thank you Sir. Great advice as always.

Locally there’s not much available between Longshot and TiteWad. If I’m gonna pay hazmat, might as well make it worthwhile.

Alliant powders are only...

I’d suggest at least a 200 grain bullet. You will gain significantly more bearing surface and likely much better accuracy sooner with less development to get there.

The 450 Bushmaster is a large...

Good morning everyone. I’m getting ready to start reloading the 20 gauge 2-3/4” and I’m trying to decide on a couple of powders to start with. At this point in my life I prefer to buy 8 lb or 4 lb...

I’m not seeing which ones you think are keyholing? Looks like torn paper from lack of a target backer to me.

I actually trust the Lee auto disc measure. Which orifice were you using?

Where is Kevinjoe ?

Hasn’t been here since the first and only post. Are we looking for smokeless loads without litter of plastic wads in the field?
Are the organic wads for loading brass with...

You might be surprised by what will feed.

If I were to get a custom mold, I’d make this a boattail. Put a good...

I paid $275 for a blued 300WM barrel not long ago. It’s a little finicky to chamber and close with the belt. A different 338WM works flawlessly.

You might try chambering and extracting a few...

I bet it would be fine with a TrailBoss load in 450 bm.

Anything faster than 45 acp and I’d assume it would cause leading and be a major disappointment.

Look into Puff-Lon filler, if you’re...

Welcome to the forum!

I’ve seen a scattered few loads for shot with nitro card and cork or felt wads in the BPI advantages manual. There’s a a few more loads with a plastic gas seal and fiber...

Once Mr Gibson chimes in, I stop and listen. I’d like to go to summer camp for a week at his place when I grow up. Imagine what you would learn looking over his shoulder!

That’s quite the accomplishment! I have one of those Lee hollow point molds. I didn’t have great results with it. When I finally got it to cast with a good fill-out, I had more rejects due to the...

Have you cast hollow points from pure/soft lead? Pointers on how you did it is exactly what I’m looking for with this thread.
Thanks

Thanks for the tips!

I found those photos on your website. Signed up for the newsletter while I was there.

Ugh

I don’t want information on making an alloy. I want information on using lead as it is. The searches are full of how to alloy lead.

Post five in the link said to run the pot hot. That was...

Maybe I missed it. Where did it talk about using pure lead instead of turning it into an alloy with wheel weights or solder joints or other sources of tin?

I’ll admit my search skills are weak. I looked at the stinkies at the top of the section.

I’m looking for tips for casting with soft lead and doing it cheaply. My stash is some lead cable...
