I had several tons of clean I got... them I got a divorce. Wife changed the locks and sold my lead among everything else while proceedings happened. Now I’m looking for lead again at tire shops but...
Assuming a keith type for a 357 max would be the heaviest. Whats the max you can push on a 357 mag? 210 maybe?
Just curious if anyone knows of a mold such as this? Seems like a good use for all that zinc we never can use.
I think maybe I didnt clarify. I'm not worried about shots per dollar but shots per pound. I'm looking to put some power back in a environmental sound place to store awhile.
Gentlemen,
While me and my mentor have been working and expanding on the famous 13 grain red dot load for the 30-06 it has been fruitful in all but the arena of the M1. Likely because the gas...

Nice. Love craigslit finds. I bought like 150 pounds of %2 silver solder bars for like .50 a pound a couple years ago. The silver in them along is worth a heck of alot more than that now (around...

You can't push a 240 grain out of an AK nor keep it silent. :awesome: but you can also put full power loads in it if need be. I think really the draw is you can used manly 30 cal boolits with a can...

I have an old furance here me and another caster got working for a bit but its worn out on a couple of the soft parts, no sure where to turn for them.
I tried using coleman parts (there look...
If you want to start low and slow look at "the Load" using 13 grains of Red Dot. That would put you at around 1550 fps with a pleasant lack of recoil (on par with aroudn a 223). Me and another member...

Or you could just buy a 45/70 instead of converting a nice Mosin into a $99 hand grenade.
Debating to get a suppressor for a 300 Blackout. Thought why not get a .311 to use on my russian toys as well, will .003 make that much difference? Anyone know?

Exactly. Without a can this cartridge is pointless.
Makes you wonder why people buy commerical ammo. They have to make that **** so generic its not worth a damn.
Same here. Used to make some from old files I bought at pawn shops for 50 cents, some from old leaf springs from the junk yards. Files make for very sharp scapel type blades, the leaf springs for...
[QUOTE=rockrat;1480727]IIRC, the Blackout case is .037" longer and a bit larger in neck diameter. QUOTE]
Longer than what? 223?
Thanks for the input Leadman. Whats the best way to form the 223 cases?
My plan is to use this on an AR upper so feeding has me concerned. Any work yet with the heavy lead loads yet? My buddy has...
So I've been considering for a long time getting a 30 cal can and doing a 300 Whisper upper. Of course now that the Blackout allows the whisper its looks even more attrative. From what I understand...
158 gr lee SWC with 3.2 of red dot for mild loads, 2.8 of red dot for mousy loads (good for odd timer 38s).
A reloader friend I met here helps me make my ingots. I started with muffins but his ingot mold is I believe 5 to 6 bars nearly a foot long make from right angle bar from bed rails. the ingots stack...
Larry I've seen posts in the past for this, just not in this caliber (mostly 30-06, 270 I think). The loads are usually slightly off at long range but I'm basically looking for a 100 yard zero so I...
