I really enjoyed reading this thread. I currently cast foreverything I shoot but have not understood the general hate from some towardsjacketed bullets. I myself don't cast and load my own to show...

Never had a problem with anything I have shipped, or with anything I have received from members here. I have had a lot of silver and other precious metal (lead, he..he..) shipped to my door. Usually...

Recluse, I hope your recovery is quick, I thank you for the information. Off to Amazon I go.

Yes Sir, I do like those boolits, I don't have one of those in the .30 have had my eye out for one for a while, have missed a few at descent prices, so keep looking I will. I got hooked on them with...

If you look right above this thread in the stickies you'll see one called "Just a few tips for new rifle casters" by goodsteel, it is one of the most thorough write ups I have seen on this subject....

Haven't seen Unique on a shelve in a long time around here.

Thanks for all the info, I enjoyed using the old round ones, has to be a lot better just dumping you primer tray into the new square design, and it sure is faster than priming the casings on the...

That’s a great philosophy and sage advice to follow from opos, Even if your shooting with a +P rated pistol, unless you have pulled some boolits and checked for type and charge of powder, you don't...

Herter66, I hope you'll post back when you get it out, I'd like to know what it takes to free it. Thanks.

Great advice, I generally just tap the funnel and casing as mentioned before and a couple times doing that its flowing like it's supposed to.

+1 on the "M" die, I like the Lyman dies also, just my own opinion. Lots of info in the stickies and old post and great suggestions on the manuals, although I prefer Lymans #3 over their newer #4,...

Yep, hard to beat the inertia type puller for cast removal. Keep a watchful eye on your barrell when shooting those as many stated they have been surely sized down, leading may follow. Good Luck,...

I cast, lube, size and then lube again when tumble lubing.

fouronesix, I had a good friend that tried some Great Plains conicals in his inline .45 and experienced some leading issues with them as well, he gave them to me shortly after to melt down, they have...

Beng, if you haven't made your purchase already, I would suggest as others have that you get with someone that owns a Cap and Ball and shoot theirs first. Doesn't really matter what it is, and...

Atlast357, I hope your shortage has eased up. None of the LGS around here carry 10 or 11 percussion caps, or stock the black. I can travel 100 miles North or South and get it, but at what it cost me...

"I believe that next summer I'll try beeswax/olive oil/citronella candle wax blend as lube. Might help keep the mosquitoes at bay while I'm shooting." Rick R
I haven't thought about that, that...

Yep, both of the older kids started shooting my .50 cal with 25 g FFF, very accurate and a great way to introduce them to black. My youngest will be ready to start on the same mixture this summer. I...

Wire wheel with the drill worked for me. I don't think I would put any paint to it, like Guido4198 stated. As others stated wear eye pro and respirator and obviously do in a well ventilated area. It...

I have found what Cherokke stated to be a good rule to follow.

They look great to me and I'm sure you won't be bringing any home from the clubhouse either. I'm not much of a cookie eater, my family on the other hand....usually chips ahoy or something fills our...

+1 on COWW for the .40, I would get a 178-179 grn boolit using the COWW out of the little Lee 175grn TL mould. I used different powders depending on what or who was shooting it. You don't need a gas...

Wow, $2,700, that's just unbelievable. Need to melt up some aluminum, certainly no shortage of fire ant hills to pour it into around here.

While a lot of reloading items are scarce, I have had no trouble with finding Brass, and will not waste my time or effort picking up the aluminum or steel cases. +1 on what Recluse said on the...

There is something to be said for "LURKING" I have been here for over 3 years and there are guys that joined less than 3 months ago with a higher post count than me. Not insinuating in anyway that...
