Anyone have a mold they like that works in pistols that's heavy for the 9mm? Obviously there are plenty of 147gr molds out there, but wondering if anyone has any luck with something up to 165gr (like...

also when you are trying different primers, toss in some small pistol primers into a load that's close or a couple to try. I know with the Hornets, many people find better groups with small pistol...

Seems like the 45-70 molds have at least a crimp groove but I guess I'm leaning towards any molds. If I can find what I want with lube grooves, I'll get that, or without if I"m buying something new...
Forum: Cast Boolits
sounds like maybe I should be sticking with the traditional molds, or maybe ones with slightly less lube grooves since it sounds like it's more for displaced lead or at least checking for actual...

Been lurking for years, but ready to get the ball rolling on casting. I've been collecting "stuff" for quite a while and over time it looks like things have changed (mainly powder coating vs lube)....

just started to print some labels but having template for reloading info would be great. Any chance anyone that has this can send me a copy? original link is dead...

just picked up a Lee APP and can't wait to play with it but a friend did say to look at a bunch of videos as there are a lot of "tricks" to getting it set up right!
thanks for the video, this...

They have been well known for their pistol brass for years. Only in the past 5-7 years or so did they start making bottle neck cartridges. First it was some of the odd/older stuff (348 Winchester and...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I"m a bit late to the game for the powder coating but what I'm trying to decide is if you are starting from scratch with new molds and plan to powder coat the bullets, are you better off getting gas...

I recently bought the GemPro250 for just such occasions. I have two beam scales (dillon and RCBS) that I use to check weights on powder, but wanted something to check cases and bullets and other...
FNX 45 Tactical with an RM07 mounted. If you keep an eye out, they made some changes to some of the RMR sights and a few places have put a few of the versions of the RMR on sale. I got mine from...

it's not a classic like a 92 or 94 but if you can find one, Ruger made the 96/44 lever action a few years ago. I have one, uses a rotary magazine (same as the bolt 77/44 IFAIK), and runs pretty well....

Thanks jonB. I don't recall off the top of my head the two Weaver bases that they recommend (86 and 85 as mentioned earlier seems right) and I have one of them I found a while ago but haven't gotten...

love my 35's. All things being equal check into reloading supplies and see how things are now. I know for a year or two 35 rem brass was very hard to find. I have a good stockpile so not an issue but...
I could see having both. I"m not averse to having some hotter loads, and try to have both on hand in many of my "standard" calibers. For example, I have a ammo can of 240gr lead 44 mag loads with a...
I agree. I reload about 18 different calibers for rifles and pistols but rarely shoot shotguns at all (it's probably been more than 3 years). I will probably get set up at some point to reload 28 as...
I looked at the BP website and have the Lyman shotgun reloading manual. Just hoping for some simple recommendations for somewhere to start. I'll order wads and the buckshot book from them but instead...
I know it's not worth the time/effort/money to reload standard 12 gauge shotshells but I would like to reload some buckshot and/or slugs.
I've got a bunch of winchester AA shells, a press (MEC)...

the 65 is a lever action with a tubular magazine so I've always used round nose or flat nose bullets for the bee (and some hornets). First off decide what bullet you want to use.
Hornady makes a...
ice build, is that all 2A stuff? I saw their rifles at a show and picked up a set of the pins myself. thinking to build a lightweight AR in the future and it's got my eye.
I have the NOE mold...
Love the hornet and bee cartridges. Growing up I shot a fair amount of them thru my contender and liked the little thing. Plenty of punch when hitting cans and stuff and with reloading, it kept it...

Anyone know the best way to mount a scope on a #3 (mine happens to be a 22h)?
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I never had any issues with firing my 35 but almost everything I shot was hand load. In the contender I usually shot 150 and 180gr spire point bullets just because I could. In my 141 I shot 200gr RN....

+1. I have a #3 in 22 hornet and would love to have another bee but in a single shot. i have a 65 but if anyone has a suggested mold that might work on them both (would have to be RN for the bee...

glad to see the #1 staying around. I only have one that I will always have (RSI in 280, they never made them but got a 7x57 and had it "fixed"). I get lots of compliments on that one. I have a #3 in...
