If that rounding is from a Lee die then have them make you a flat nose seating stem.

If they are out of round or dropping mixed weights that are off enough then why aren't you contacting Lee for a replacement?

I also used some cheap Home Depot bought hex nuts last time I did the same tray. Half way through I wondered why I'm using a nut that has rounded edges which seems like it would make the bullets tip...

My guess is it has something to do with two days in front of a fan. They must have some kind of dusting of whatever is in the air be it dirt/dust, pollen, or whatever fumes may be lingering. I live...

The oven gets too hot sometimes and over cooks the coating. Cheap ovens get hot spots in them and temperature spikes. One batch can be fine and the next may need to go back in if you dial it down...

Guess it's time for another "I don't get it and I've hardly if any read posts on this subject but it makes no sense to me and seems too difficult" type threads.

Yup.

Lee does offer hollow base molds so a HP mold isn't far off for them one bit. Not sure why they are resisting a red hot sale.

I can certainly attest to the bond formed between two bases that rested against each other during baking. I had two 8mm Max bullets glued together that both bent before that PC would snap apart. ...

.22 anything is still pretty rare. Any time I start to see it available again and think it may finally be over it all gets bought up and shelves are empty again. And yet manufacturers are still...

Anyone know what their coating is? They seem to be saying everything else is inferior and theirs is perfection but tell you nothing about it.

I want so much to be excited by this but cheap bulk plinking fun ammo is still such a rare thing. And why does everyone keep releasing all these .22LR guns when there has been a shortage for several...

I didn't even know Lyman had released the Mag25 into the wilds yet. Thought for sure I would see chatter here about them. Now I'm off to search.

I don't believe I would have said that better so I'm just copying what SF said.
Another Thunder lover. If the larger guns are as well made then I would think they are good guns. The mag disconnect junk is a youtube video away from being removed. Any part that ever breaks is...

I've not seen any reports for why any rifle with gain rifling in the twist couldn't shoot lead bullets and coated is little different than lubed lead. So I would say NO to this question.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was not aware the M380 is based on the M85's frame. To look at one side by side the frame looks much smaller. Otherwise it's a wash in why bother with .380's in the same size frame???
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Shot a bit of .38 and .357 and have to admit it wasn't so smokey like alox based lube usually is. It still has some smoke but it's the most minimal of any I've seen so far. These were cast with...

Reminds me of Gloolits. But I'm thinking it's easier to just injection mold a plastic bullet.
Yes, but I'm trying to cheat and use it anyways. It's Lee's clone of the RCBS 200gr RNFP and I'm trying to make a .357 magnum using .38 brass that will allow it to feed in a lever action. But I've...
Wish they had kept THIS VERSION in production. The Model 60 is still very much in production but now as a .357 magnum with heavy barrel for those that like hand pounding punishment. Now for a true...
