Yep believe your right. Thats the reason i was thinking of moving to the tc bullet. More pointed and less ogive area.

A buddy of mine is also using some of my bullets and they are sticking in his glock 17. He loads on a dillon. I use lee dies and he uses dillon. Bullets are sized to 358.

I know what you mean on the plunking. I do it with each round of ammo before a big match.

Mine seat and crimp in same step.

Oal is 1.10 and the manual calls for 1.125. Have gone as low as 1.08 with same results.

Just started doing pc on my bullets and love it. My only issue with it is i use a round nose 9mm 124gr lee 6 cav mold and if i have to do an unload and show clear in a match the slide is extremely...

All my bullets are lubed when put thru the dies. Matter of fact the top of the die was caked with lube. May try the rolled up sand paper because my .452's are coming out .4515

I noticed the other day I was leading my barrel on my glock that had never leaded before. Got to checking my bullets and found them undersized. Checked my sizer and it was crudded up really bad. Had...
Well I had been shooting my g30 with no leading issues until at a IDPA match this past Sunday. Had bullets tumbling at 5yrds making jagged holes. All my bullets are run thru a Lee .451 sizer that I'd...
Have a question to the folks shooting their own cast boolits in their glock 40's and 45 acp. What do you size both of these too? I've had problems with my g23 leading pretty bad on 25 rds and sized...
Howdy ya'll
I cast my own bullets and have for the last 13 yrs. Just started shooting a glock a couple years ago and used lead bullets with my 9mm and had no trouble. Traded it for a Glock 23...
I love the small primer ammo. Nobody wants it so they give it to me or just leave it at the range and I pick it up. I sell all the large primer brass and buy small pistol primers. Then I only need...
I started out on the low end with all of my loads but as it turns out 1/10 under works well enuff in my pistols. I'm not looking for that one hole cluster at 25yrds. I shoot Idpa so power factor...
I was shooting my cast bullets in my Glock 23 with the factory barrel but quit as it was leading the barrel something awful. Scrubbed the barrel a dozen times trying to get all the lead out, shot 40...
I was needing some small pistol primers the other day and came across a deal on 3000 small pistol magnum primers. Was wondering if I need to reduce my loads any when I use these? I don't load to the...
Oh I like Titegroup but in my 38 special and 45 long colt. Was surprised to see the loading data on Hodgon website for hp38 and w231 as being the same for the bullets I load. Same start and and high...
Howdy ya'll. Been using Titegroup in my 45 acp and the 9mm but just tried some in 40 s&w. Not real pleased with it in any of them. Like it well enuff in 38 special and 45 colt.
What is a good...

I don't have a way of measuring the temp but have enough years of experience to know when it's plenty hot to be casting. I leave my pot on setting 8 and it takes about 20 to 25 minutes to come up to...
Forum: Casting Equipment
Yep I do all that about every third or fourth pot. Been getting slower for a while when I first start to run a pot about pouring but this is the first time is quit pouring and I had to heat the...

Had trouble with my Lee Pro 4 20lb pot the other day. With the pot full and the lead plenty hot to pour, the spout wouldn't let anything out. It wasn't clogged as I could use a long lighter to heat...
Maybe I wasn't drinking enuff that day. LOL! Thanks guys.
Was my thoughts too, just curious as to why the change.
Howdy ya'll
Been a while since I loaded any 380 rds and couldn't find my info I had for using Titegroup. So I looked it up at the Hodgdon website and printed it off.
It said start at 2.6 and...
