Where do you get it? Any place better than another? Do you know if there are places to look in local markets or do you need to order it out? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

I smoked my molds and a guy I know said I was doing it old school. He said he uses Frankford Arsenols Drop Out spray on his molds. What is your opinions on that? I've heard many say never use...

Many of you recommended their seating dies and when I looked them up I was happy to see they were really close to where I was visiting so I decided to drop by. The owner, Al Nelson, showed me his...

I'm new to casting. I've been acquiring items over time and am getting ready to jump in. What sizing dies do y'all use? I've only seen Lee sizing dies, what are your thoughts about those? What...

357 is the measurement when done with micrometers
Forum: Cast Boolits
my 627's (357 mag) and my 929 (9mm) barrels both measure at .357 diameter. Would it be best to get a .358 or .359 diameter molds?

I just picked up a .311 mold for the whisper/blk from Swede! It is the PB as I tend to use it suppressed in my 300 blk. I plan on tumble lube, but am pretty new to all of this. I was thinking of...

I'm looking for a mould so I can make heavy boolits for subsonic use in my AR chambered in 300 blk. Please let me know what there is and if you know where I can find it I'd appreciate it.

OK, I finally got the lead and can melt, etc. Anyway, right now I have a lee mold for the 458 diameter with 340 gr. flatnose. It's a tumble lube so I don't need to worry about that. I got the 457...
I looked at this and thought it might be a cheaper way to blast the socom. Anyone use this mould?

Thanks.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Do you use 457 or 459 diameter for the socom? I see that is what the molds come in.
Thanks

Where do you find a flat follower?
Thanks.
Forum: Cast Boolits
If so, what are you using for molds, weights, etc.? I have a buddy that is getting one and he wants me to make him some boolits! Thanks for your input.

guys like that are the reason people post their land no hunting! They don't care about others or what they are doing--only themselves.
I don't know if it's been said yet but it's a nice idea but you should try to have your defensive ammo store bought. I've taken many Conceal carry courses in many states and they all say you need to...

I haven't shot my muzzle loader in probably 8 years but I just picked up a ph encore barrel and got the itch to start shooting black powder again. Back in the day I was using 777 pyrodex pellets. ...
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I will by using pyrodex pellets. 777. so with that you think a longer barrel would be best?
Thanks.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I don't recall a reason. I just remember them saying 28" was the best. I think a lot of Muzzleloaders have a 28" barrel but don't quote me on that. :-D

I am looking at basically the identical encore barrel in 26" and 28" barrels. Both are fluted, stainless, weather shield, the new speed breach system. Is there an optimal length for the muzzle loader...

I am a roofer and have been collecting lead flashings plus I have a few hundred pounds of wheel weights. What other types of metal should I be on the look for to cast bullets? Tin? What else? ...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I'm a roofer and have gotten a bunch of lead pipe boots. I need to know how much tin do you mix in with it in general to make bullets. I've heard 10% but am unsure.
Thanks.
