Well after some cussing, a new kinetic puller didn't work even with seating the bullets deeper. So I went to the wire stripper method. Not enough bullet through my RCBS press. But the Lee C press...

Taking many ideas and put into practice- seated bullets .010 deeper and into kinetic puller, still taking dozens of hits to get a single bullet to pull! Then my kinetic decided it had enough and...

Before I left for work this morning I tried the seater die, pushing them about 10 thou into the case. Into the 40 yr old RCBS puller, 15 packs and no joy! Gave it a few more and gave up. Got home,...

Actually the aluminum collet was working, the shell holder was when the blue air started!
I hadn't thought
About using the seating die! Duh. I'll try that.
Of the 11 I was able to pull I found...

That thought has crossed my mind! This rifle came from AZ ( if the guy I got it from remembers right)
I made up some dummies, Winchester brass doesn't chamber easily but Remington does. Remington...

Crimp groove- good point! Thank you for that.
Was just making up a few dummies to function test, from mag to lifter to chamber works fine until the last 1/2" of bolt travel. Ok, I should have...

I also have a Ruger #1 in bee, it really likes 4227 and 40gr VMax .
This 92 will most likely get a steady diet of cast. That Rimrock 46 gr seems perfect to me, thanks guys!

I'm not new here , just don't spend much time here- however.
I've recently turned up a 92 with a model 65 barrel installed. It was previously D&T for a side mount and restocked with a high comb...

Yes I'm in a commy state but here is how it was explained to me
YOU took a bullet and altered it to be more 'explosive' . No I tried to make it expanding not 'explosive'.
Sure we can buy HPs...

I do believe I have an Arsenal mould!
No problem Wayne offer still stands if you want to try them!
Forum: Cast Boolits
ATF/ police might not like your idea! Home made hp's are considered "explosive " and can be subject to bad juju- let's just say the local PD gave me a ration of doodoo for doing this many years ago.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Is the magazine a double stack or single stack? If it's a double stack which side of the mag does it feed from when the FTF happens? Again this is where dummy's come into play, as JB mentioned. I'd...

I have a .257 60gr mould for my 25-20. It's a GC boolit. I dont remember who I had make but if you would like to try and size some down I'll gladly send ya some to try.
I know I spent some time...

Good to hear you are back out there trying to put meat in the freezer even with your injuries! I wound up with a cast on my left arm on my 26th birthday, 4 weeks in fingers to mid bicep cast then...

Your best bet is the brownells website or even better CALL their tech support and they should answer any & all questions.

Thanks guys, seems the winners are 4227, 2400. I have on hand, 800x, 4227, cfe pistol. Think I'm going to start with the cfepistol since I have the most of it.
Finally got around to lubing...

Found some data for CFE PISTOL , 215gr cast- I tried this with jacketed and wasnt impressed by it but I have a whole can so this might be a good use for it!?

JohnB, I'm in no way new to reloading however my cast reloading has been a long time since. I'll pick up #4 - I'm just CHEAP!! I'm primarily a shotgun shooter but I have a bunch of rifles, .17 Rem up...

4227 is one of my favorites. It is one of the few powders I keep finding as I research 41 loads. Thanks fellers!

Hi guys, new to castboolits and recently received a new to me Lyman 41 2 cavity. I dont shoot enough to entice me into buying new load manuals, yeah I know I really should!
