Just sharing my experience.
So I got my new mold for my 30-30.
Barely works for the 30-30 though.
Cast at .313, so sizing down to .310 is tight. Also the nose cast large at .303 which is the...

Thank you for the suggestion.
However, I took it apart, turned it upside down and hit it with my heat gun. All out.
Now to fill it with a fresh batch of Ben's Red I just made.

Aside from lube bullets until it's empty.
What is a good way to remove the existing lube from my Lyman 450.
It is Rcbs green colored lube if that matters
I want to use different lube
I like this one, but pretty sure the brass set screws are going to leave marks in the barrel
Just seeing what you all think of the older Contenders, pre easy open.
Looking at one that comes with a super 14 30-30 barrel. I would rather have a 357 or 44 barrel.
But what is the concensus of...
Does anyone happen to have a pic of the Two Bullets side by side?
Not a drawing but actual pics from Accurate molds.
I to am going to try a reflex on my new SBH and 686.
What Reflex did you go with ?
For very accurate loads in the .357
158 SWC on top of 6.0 Unique
or 7.2 of BE-86
Both are giving me about...
Well, since no one has what I really want, which is a traditional 240 to 250 SWC that drops .432
I'm going to take the specs from an NOE mold and tweak it a little and submit that to Accurate molds.
So I did some digging and have read that others 441 molds that drop at 260.
Anyway I want a traditional SWC, does not have to be lever action friendly.
Will be shot from a Ruger SBH.
And between...
I friend loaned me a Saeco #441 4 cavity mold.
From what I have looked up it is supposed to be 240gr.
Folks say they drop right at 240gr. and about .432
These are dropping at 260gr. and .430...
You guys did great recommending me a mold for the 30-30.
Now I need a .44 mold
Prefer a 240 SWC, probably Keith style.
NOE, Accurate or ?
I was kinda thinking Accurate because of the options....
Thanks guys.
How about a recommendation for a
red dot or say small 2.5X scope
I Want to scope my new Super Blackhawk for working up handloads.
Maybe 2.5X or red dot.
What do you use or have used for a mount?
No D&T or D&T ?
Photos are a plus !
Thanks for the input.
I loaded up some 200gr. Rnfp. I casted from an old Saco mold last week.
Only bullet I have at the moment.
10gr. Unique
9, 9.5 and 10gr. BE-86
I hope to try them in my...
Thanks for all the input :smile:
Has anyone used BE-86
Yesterday I ordered a Blued 7.5" Super Blackhawk .44 Mag
Got a new Super Blackhawk coming.
Looking for accurate light to medium loads with 240 - 260 cast in 44 Mag brass.
I know, what's accurate in yours might not be accurate in mine. But just looking...
Ok
I think I'm going to order a new 7.5"
Then after shooting it and making sure all is good, then cut it to 6"

Forum: Casting Equipment
Well, I'm using it now.
When my LEE 4-20 is half full and set at only #3.5 it says my pot is 775.
If I turn it to #4, it goes above 800.
I have no other thermometer to check it against, but that...
