Same here out of Ruger SRH 454 9.5" with the Lee C452-300-RF Quenched before and after, PC with COWW and GC, cheap compared to 300g XTP MAGS... Be careful with reduced H-110!

I like my old Delta, got it a long time ago with about 60 through it, I put another ten or so.. collecting dust. The original owner said he would like it back... I said I spent more on reloading...

Fzr, MD Smith was my go to guy in the past for 454 info. He has since passed away and his web site is now being carried on by another fellow under another name/link.
You might want to check his...

Great that they had them, I just wonder what they nailed you for them? Your second question...?

I may be pushing a Lee C452-300-RF gas checked and powder coated a bit fast. I use wheel weight quenched from mold and quenched from oven, Add GC when sizing (same day as cast) as they get harder to...

I have similar thoughts.. With my smaller Frankford and 5# of pins..
I use a 9mm of Lemi and tablespoon+ of Dawn and hot water, (rinse well when done). I found that 3/4 full of brass works much...
Glad to hear I'm not the only odd ball out there with the 9.5" 454.. Got it a little after they were introduced. It's a kick to shoot, and cheap plinking when making your own cast pills.

I have the same mold and use HF Red for my 40. I just flare just enough bullet sits on case where I like, flared just enough not to scrape off the coating, seat , and taper crimp last just enough to...

I wonder how many other folks find the similar results? Impressive results there!

After PC, I size through Push-Thru sizer and their all the same size, it is very quick to do. NOE gives you a small bottle of (I think) it's auto tranny oil for sprue plate hinge area and block pins...

I got a (Redding carbide G-RX push thru 40 s&w die) for my 40's and I see that (below) it works for 10mm and 357sig which I have but not used on them yet! Thanks for bringing this up!

I stopped using 45colt in my 454 because of the buildup of lead where the 454 case stops, just incase I forget to brush lead fouled step in the throat and threw in full house big one! They say it's...
I have same results as OP with full house loads of 240gr vs 300gr in a SRH 454. 240's are wicked..

Personally, I would offer to let a 'friend' bring the mold and lead over and let him use my equipment and learn the hobby. He might be able to introduce you to the owner/operator of the range in the...

SPF is not mentioned on list! I see that in S&S adds, I assume it means "ship pending funds" ?
Did you by chance have Dougguy work on any for you? I wonder what it would cost now days as I have 4 45's that needs help with my cast 230's PC'd.. I should just contact Doug...
Great to hear, I was afraid they might be for straight wall cases only. All my AA cases are from 20yrs ago or so.. and about 20lbs of 700X. Enough for the rest of my life at the rate I'm going! ...
Same load as for windjammer wads I have been using for many years.
Thank you!
Have a ton of these, and having a hard time finding any load data , like to use in WAA cases w 700X!

I would second that! Had it happen to me, I realized I had some brass shot from a friends rifle and didn't have the FL die set correctly. All mine chambered fine his didn't.
