Anyone have the Lee 250 gr R.E.A.L. 50cal mold that potentially would be going to the seminar? I have the ball and 300gr combo mold and I’ve been testing those out.

I backed off the die and plink tested till it chambered. 45-70……. I haven’t picked anything up in a while. I have to get on my cast muzzle loader project before deer season.

I was hi-tek and lubing them… to .356 and .357/.358. Different powders..: the easy answer was to just turn them into 45’s

I think I may have found the cause of my 9mm leading. @pastera got me thinking and I measured my diameters as the bullet progressed through my press. All was good till I got to the crimp die… found the squeeze to be down to .350. I adjusted and now I’m back to testing.

During lubing the plunger in my RCBS LAM2 came off the bolt and was stuck at the bottom of the luber. I ended up cranking the heat, cleaning out old lube, and jamming a wood dowel that I was lucky enough to get threaded on the plunger. We managed to load up a few hundred more.

Kid poured another 15 pounds the other day… time to lube and load.

Running low.

Sounds like what I did minus set screw

Looks like the bolt i sheared on my lee 200gr 6 cavity…. I snapped by over tightening.

.356, I want to say but I have a new batch to size and I might go .357. What I think is the problem might be slightly oversized bullets and some of the hi tek is coming off during sizing on a few. Small hiccup no biggy. Coating a bunch of .357 about 15 pounds give or take.

@pastera are you using silhouette in your nine loads. I started playing with it but got some leading but I think that may be a sizing issue.

I keep a torch near by to give it a little help when it happens. I run my pot about 700 and depending on the day and wind conditions my nozzle does freeze up. I’ll also get some crud build up in the nozzle over time that I have to free up with a piece of wire. @pastera gave some tips about this...

One end over the other or both sides?

Second question of the day around using cerrosafe to slug a bore. Chamber cast and or cast the muzzle… you wouldn’t push it through the bore like a pure lead slug…

I was thinking of taking the same bullet lee .312 155gr, hi tek, sizing to 309 with lube and turning out some 300 blackout. I have the tips done and now I need to come up with a load recipe. Could I use 2400 like the x39’s with a reduced starting point of around 13gr! Any recommended known...
