I did say sheet metal, most of his jobs are collector restorations and old Tractors.

The early 90s was a wonderful time if a fellow wanted to shoot cheap commie ammo in cheap commie guns. I recall visiting my favorite shop, "Jack's gun and pawn". He always had some SKS's on the...

I wasn't reloading when S&P was on sale that cheap, but I do recall one Cabelas primer sale, probably about the Date on the packing list photo in the OP, when S&P were either $16 or $18 and...

Carp can be good eating, and it can be awful eating...it just depends.
The nice looking fish and prep work that Tripplebeards has showed us, sure looks tasty to me.

To give a real precise answer, it'd be nice to know the caliber/gun, the type of power/load, and what the alloy of the 10 BHN is?

But in all honestly, that 10 alloy should be fine up to 2000....

while I am a fan of WC for it's original purpose, it just doesn't seem like a logical fit for a Magnum lebergun.

Evaporust is basically tannic acid, as I understand it. It's very safe, but kind of spendy, I have no idea if it can be reused?

First, it doesn't matter.
Second, if Redding says 3% lighter, then I'd go with that, which is about 257gr. Does it matter? Nope.

Do you know exactly what you want? I ask, because you mention you are new to this.
If not, start a conversation with us, mentioning caliber and gun and your goals/application.
I suggest starting a...

It could be thick PC, as you surmised.
but it also could be an abrupt throat in each of the troublesome guns. It is common for most manufacturers to put abrupt throats in 9mm semi-auto guns, works...
I don't have any experience with the two calibers you mention, so I can't tell you much there. BUT, custom molds...as in you are specifying exactly what you want, I do know a little about that, but...

My mold dropped 'em a wee bit shy (.355)

I am sure you've investigated all the variables before you blame the mold design. Of course, since you mentioned nothing else, maybe I'm wrong.

While I did read this whole thread, I gotta wonder what kinda wood burner your using without air control. If you have enough draft and the stove doesn't have air control, then ya gotta put a damper...

Fake news, LOL.
If you live in China, it might not be wise to ship a BP revolver to NY state.
You didn't mention where your homebase is, so it'll be tough to give a answer that isn't fake news.

Ohio Rusty, Yes, I do agree, especially with new members, but it isn't about the fees.

Obviously, there is no way to know what you have by your description alone as there is more than one low temp casting alloy.
