500 round nose Lyman 457125 in Hornady short brass out of a 26" barreled Winchester/Miroku 1886 45-90 takedown using Reloader 7.

Regardless of what the lyman says, I use and will continue to load .452...it just plain works.

All I have ever gotten on Calguns is tire kickers members wanting to buy guns under the table. I understand the regulations suck in Ca. The thing is, that here, anything can be construed as...

On my low end I am getting about 1060-1100 fps bumped it up a bit and was getting mid 1300's with no sign of over pressure. One bullet I shot into I'd say an 11"-13" thick log went straight through...

Recently ventured into this casting/reloading with the goal of making my own ammo. Well now that I have had that experience, I am ready to move on and leave it behind. Being in California, you can...

I remember reading somewhere that years back that .454 was what was used but with modern manufacturing they just went to .452 as the standard. I powder coat and size all mine to .452.

Mine did leak the first few times I tried it after purchasing it. I discovered that the rubber seals/rings aren't cut exactly round or wide enough to create a good seal. What I do now after loading...

Pineapples and coconuts, unless all internal and external factors are exactly the same...you will never come close to finding the true answer. It's all luck of the day.

Not too long ago I ordered a set of accurate's 3 top punch set. When I opened the package 2 of the 3 were the exact same diameter. I contacted him about it and his response was to send him a...

Is pc worth it...you bet it is! A couple years ago I bought a Star lube sizer on ebay for just around $300 with a .452 die and that's it...no top punch, no lube, no heater, no hardware to mount it. ...

I stopped caring about bullet hardness once I started powder coating. I only had roofing lead at the time when I started casting and was scared into believing I was going to foul up my barrel and...

I powder coat just because I can...

Sorry, I meant that the NOE are better suited to oversized bullets whereas the Lyman only cover up to such size. Like in speaking to the Lyman tech, the Lyman M die for my 45-70 covers from...

I did watch a couple videos of guys having some issues with the NOE, but I already ordered them and will have to see for myself. I haven't seen anyone actually drop a charge while using the NOE...

I called Lyman and yeah, their M dies do have limitations in regards to seating over sized bullets. The rep even suggested I check with LEE/RCBS for custom sizing dies which made my decision to...

Well I placed an order for some NOE sizing bushings and expanders. Looking forward to it's arrival.

What I do is get a flat piece of tin or even shelving with holes already drilled in it or drill the smallest holes the round balls will sit on without rolling off and bake em. If you don't care for...

All valid points and exactly the type of feedback I was hoping for. I imagined the NOE expanders would be better suited to larger diameter bullets.

I like the simplicity and convenience of having one die for each of my calibers, but I have wondered if the NOE expanders offer greater versatility/use? Will the NOE system produce better...

Congrats Three44s. They offer a set of jaws that do not require you to disassemble them any...just remove and replace the entire jaw with just the two bolts. They also offer a shell holder adapter...

The thing was that I was doing multi tone coating and was wanting to clean the bullets before the next color then that happened. I now just use soap and water or blue painter's masking tape.

No clear coats, I accidentally discovered that if I overcook them then the powder tends to run off some leaving a glass/gloss like coating that is really slick. One day, I dropped one onto the...

I have the gun too and only a few Eastwood powders. The white on this bullet is Eastwood's, the black, however, is Harbor Freight and it is gritty. When I use the Eastwoods, I wash my bullets with...

Not exactly how I wanted it, but I still haven't ordered any other colors. Sorry, I attempted to give this bullet a name but struggle more with it than the actual powder coating.

There is nothing wrong with those bullets, load em up and shoot em. Those bases will never make a difference in accuracy.
