I'm another 45 ACP fan for cast. I had great results with the Lee TL452-230-2R, the Lee TL452-230-TC (which weighed closer to 240 grains with my alloy), and the RCBS 45-201-SWC, all in a 1911. It was...

This has been a very interesting and informative discussion. Thanks all.

Thank's Outpost,

Here is the thread about that...

I occasionally go over there. They don't offer you a reasonable price for a used gun, at least so I've seen. They occasionally with have a reasonable deal mixed in with the over priced items I've...

I have a Lyman 450 sizer that never gives me any trouble - except when I have to size something with too much force, all the play in the ram goes to the front/back and it sizes off center. I can size...

I just had my levels checked and I was at 2.9. I don't cast a huge amount, but I do handle lead nearly daily, so I am doing well with my safety regiment, which is mostly common sense and hand washing.

If you're not aware, there is also the Helping Hands section too.

Yes, empty brass keeps the cylinder from binding during recoil.

I first noticed it one day when I had only 1 round left out of a batch and I shot it on an unloaded cylinder. It bound up. So I...

I still play with BB guns and air rifles and I’m 40 now.

I too would be interested in older Lee catalogs for reference to the older moulds.

Howdy ARB, welcome to the forum!

Now... test out some gun pictures!

I have and use a generator regularly. Need some more fuel though.

I cut myself on the charging handle slot... I took some sandpaper and removed the razor's edge.

If you only loaded 2 rounds in the cylinder, that could have locked it up. When only 1 or 2 rounds are loaded, the cylinder doesn't have even support during recoil.

My Blackhawk will do the same...

An old thread, but maybe my info will help someone else using the TL356-124-2R.

The top of the ears, sides of the ears, and sides of the upper grip frame will all need to be flushed. Start by putting 2 screws in, remove and file until pretty close. Then repeat but switch to...

I noticed I was shooting left when shooting 2 handed, what it turned out to be for me was the death-grip I was using with my offhand. I corrected my offhand technique, and my POI moved more to the...

It's similar to the 358311 but with a more defined front driving band, like the Himmelwright wadcutter.

Without other numbers, I'd say it was homemade by someone that purchased blocks from Ideal.

I've not tried wadcutters in my Winchester 92, but I guess I could load a few round flat bullets backwards and get an idea if they cycle. It'll feed any semi-wadcutters I've tried, so I wouldn't be...

I think the reason wadcutters aren't more popular in the 44 Magnum, is that, like the 357 Magnum, it's not considered a target cartridge. The 38 Special quickly became a target cartridge, and while...

Very glad that you had the knowledge and wherewithal to help her. Praise God!

I load mine, in 44 Magnum, at 22.0 grains W296. I worked the load up in a Super Blackhawk, but I currently am running it through a Winchester 92.

If ya think gas checks are expensive... price some jacketed bullets!

I normally use Sage's gas checks. I would like to get into making my own too, I just haven't come across a set of dies yet.

Win243 already quoted it, according to Saeco's catalog, wheel weight alloy will be 3% heavier than Taracorp Magnum alloy. Taracorp Magnum is identical to hardball.

Howdy and welcome to the forum.

I have the M-P 432-256- HG#503 in my catalog if it helps you.

Paper patching would require a slightly smaller bullet diameter so that the finished diameter...

Welcome to the forum!

Interesting old mould, thank you for sharing.

Definitely not a 358502, as that's a nose-pour design.
