Has anyone used this boolit in a tube fed gun like the Henry Big Boy? I am not sure of two things. First, I don't know if it would even feed well. Second, there is a little nipple on the top of...

She does that already, at least for as long as her attention span lasts. I call her my auto case feeder.

There is a sticky on citric acid bath as a brass cleaner. It remover the tarnish from neglected brass. Works like a charm.

A huge thank you to those who have helped me solve the leading in my 9mm. I went to the range yesterday and shot 50 rounds through my trusty p95. Accuracy left much to be desired but the point was...

Thank you for all of the feedback. The poll is pretty evenly split between our top two. I know the TC feeds since I have been shooting the TL variety so I think I will go with that. I am glad I...

One fine day I was at the range having a grand old time with the 9mm. A round went into the chamber and I pulled the trigger with no effect. I looked things over and saw the slide not fully...

Wow, I had been researching for quite a while about blue dot and determined it was a pretty good powder for 357. I have not come across this. Thank you for posting it.
Forum: Cast Boolits
That is good to know. I have only shot the truncated cone and round nose through it. In the poll the TC design has pulled ahead.
Thanks to all who have shared opinions. I think I may have...

I would like some advice since I am new to loading this caliber. I have 1 unopened can each of 2400, Blue dot and 300-MP. I would like to trade one can for some 357 Mag brass and would like to know...

This is a great idea. Here are some good leasons learned and a good idea that I am sure is not origional but has made my life easier.
1) When teaching someone to reload they should be taught on...

Good point. I shoot it through a XD45. I will update the original post to state as much. Thanks.

This is the very mold I started with as well. Part of me wants to keep it since I don't have any real complaints about it but I really need to consider simplifying as well. Has anyone ever tried...

Trixter,
The idea here is to reduce indecisiveness not contribute to it. Your post was contrary to the intent of the question. :p
I own the tl 452-230-tc. My intent is to sell that one and...

I am going to switch from tumble lube to traditional and was wondering what your favorite is. I will likely use it both tumble lubed and through a lubrisizer. The boolit will be shot through an...

for about two years now I've been trying to solve the leading issue in my 9mm. I have tried all the normal things, slugging the barrel, adjusting one variable at a time, keeping good records, sizing...

How funny. I was literally just typing that as a response to runfiverun. It was something of a guess for me but nice to hear that from someone more experienced than myself. I will mark that batch...

I am leaning in this direction as well. If I have high antimony I suppose I could mix this alloy with some pure lead to bring it down. I also saw a topic of using pencils to grade relative hardness...

I will never find the other half. The trap is a bucket filled with bits and pieces of tire. kind of like crumb rubber only larger pieces. no handgun I shoot penetrates near the bottom so if it...

This is some alloy I purchased as clip on ww. It was from a local guy who is a shooter and caster so I am pretty confidant there is no zinc but could not be certain of course. If I see more of this...

Rickin,
you are not dis-remembering. The older we get the better our forgetter works. That stuff takes years to perfect.

I was shooting these wad cutters into a bullet trap. This one was different than all his buddies. My immediate thought was that it was struck and broke in half from another bullet. Upon closer...
