I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences. I've not loaded CBC exclusively in a batch, but in processing mixed brass I have loaded it. I've never had a problem with it, and thought it was...

Yes, I have every sample from Oregon Trails and Rim Rock Bullets and they were gracious enough to send me their samples free of charge.
If there are any of their bullets you'd like me to cherry...

It's possible to melt them by excluding zinc, but because zinc melts at 787.2º which means you'd have to keep a very close eye on it, and that is hard to do without a PID.

That's interesting. I wonder if the T-7, and subsequently Redding shell holders, are machined to tighter tolerances than RCBS or Hornady.
Have you been able to see if the shell holders and dies...

Very nicely done. I agree with the others saying seal the bottom to keep wasps at bay. I had some under my bench, and I had to flip it and run.

You can't go wrong with the Marlin, a new one is okay, but I like the older ones, such as this 1894CL:

Thank you Larry for sharing that. I'll save it in my notes for future reference.

I am a member there and have made only a couple of posts. I have always had a love of 22 Rimfire. I have some interest in collecting 22 cartridges and boxes and I think there is decent amount of...

That would have been nice, but Lee did not give them to me. They did give me a healthy discount though, so when I'm through with them, I'll be able to recoup the money selling them as used.

I've updated my Spreadsheet to reflect the new Lee moulds/bullets.
Unfortunately, mould 90237 the C476-325-RF was no longer available. If any of our 480 ruger/475 Linebaugh shooters could provide...

Very nice indeed. Not something seen very often. I wonder if that was the inspiration for some of Lee's SWCs?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Pretty darn close, actually one of every mould Lee makes that I don't have a sample for. Not counting discontinued moulds of course.
I'm pretty excited about it!

Howdy and welcome to the forum. Sounds to me like copper disks that would be placed under the bullet when seating similar to a fiber wad when loading black powder. I'd love to see some pictures of...

I had a .312×.308 expander that was not sufficient in length to expand a 30-30 case neck to the shoulder even when I used the maximum amount of step. I purchased it about 4 years ago; a solid...
I’ve not seen one like it. I’d guess it would be called 429-240-1R. It looks shorter in the nose than the current 429-240-2R.

The RCBS you speak of is probably the RCBS-38-150-SWC. I have one and I love it, it shoots great, but it's not very speed reload friendly. I use it in my wife's 686 with speed loaders.
