Zero or Magnus (when available).

Update...I received a batch of dewc with the red hy-tech lube from one of our members. These bullets were indeed harder. Good news is that there was just a little leading pushing them at +p...

Double boiler just until wax melts. Add Corona until melted and mixed. There should be enough residual heat to get the job done.

I usually use those small crock pots sized for potpourri. Stole...

I’ve used it only for my pistol rounds. Heavy 45 acp, match 45 and 38. Over the years of developing loads it has not failed...meaning no leading, goood-great accuracy. So simple it is worth a try....

Gary,

I would try BB and see. I originally got the idea after reading older recipes with just beeswax and Vaseline. Figured why not add a petroleum jelly with favorable additives. So I sought...

Ok... I indicated an issue in another post with HiTek.

Well another solution was to lube with regular bullet lube. So I pull out the hidden Star liner and lube the bullets. For a moment I...

Yeah, as stated I’ve used it with success in other configurations in the past.

38 special, fit is good, leade is factory- three different pistols with known accuracy & fit. I didn’t notice any...

I haven’t posted in a while because my casting days have been on hiatus since my last move.

I decided to purchase some hitek wadcutters for some full charge loads. The supplier is well known and...

Years ago I casted a Saeco 66. Shot my first 100 and many high 90s. Good bullet.

Some free advice...if you are serious about the sport, the volume necessary will be easier to get if you buy the bullets. I suspect the bullet you saw was the Magnus swaged bullet. Excellent bullets...

Runfiverun,

Your theory matches mine. In this case, the issue is exaggerated by the hbwc. I don't think there was enough expansion of the skirt in the case. Once the pressure was moved earlier...

Apparently I'm not good at giving out details. Oh well... I'll have fun burning powder. If someone has a similar issue and I could help, pm me.

Some clarification: The bullet was a purchased HBWC, "dry lube". I tried other hbwc's, with the same initial results. End result was with same bullet.

I've a S&W M14 that I use in competition. In pursuing a competitive 148 HBWC swaged load, I ran into some leading issues in the throats. The load shot fine, but would lead with several powders,...

I've killed deer with a 45acp... A good friend does it routinely...

I'll keep hunting with my 625 and use that rifle thingy for the long shots....

Chris G...Now in East LA

I think I have a ton & half of lino & small amounts of soft lead. I'm casting for 45acp pistols...so I could use straight lino to cast match bullets. Should I?

The only other option is trading...

About 26 yrs ago...BF,Todd and I were jack hunting. Using a model 60, open sight I tracked the jack in front of us, but missed. The next time we see the jack it is crossing on an open stubble field...

Stupid question....

How does the "pressure" differ between a fast or slow powder? If the velocity is the same, how would this affect flight?

Reason I ask, the same bullet can fly extremely...

Thanks all....clever idea Texasflyboy...cg

All,

I need to locate two H&G screws/pins for two cavity. I may also need to replace the sprue plate. Any ideas?

thanks...

If anyone is still looking for one, pm me...

I've got one in the safe and I'd rather have one start using it

Thanks,

A lot of info on the net....Seems, general agreement is the use of Ramshot Big Game as a primary powder. I use it behind the 250 Nosler with great results.

I have the same rife...I wouldn't part...

Changeling...Let's just say that group size in not the emphasis....Nice "round" groups are. I'm shooting with a scope and can definitely identify the "flyers". I'm used to shooting "match" guns @...

44man, How hard do you suggest? These won't be pushed faster than 875fps...

Thanks,

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new revolver...custom, none the less....I've been eyeing a 686 SSR...does that count as "custom"?

I'm accustomed to shooting "tuned" 1911's with produced groups...
