I only mentioned some safety stuff due to what you said about using pc to control lead exposure, which is true in the handling of finished boolits. But the casting pot if definitely a higher source of lead getting into the body. And I'm happy to hear you have experience dealing with the...

Alot of the pc powders of polyester or resin based. Try 'smokes' powders from the cast bullet forum. Its top notch stuff. It works way better then the hf powders which is what I started with and gave me alot of trouble but I could get it locally so it's what I did at first. As far as reducing...

I load 55.3 grains of power pro 4000mr with the nosler 180grn partitions. Ymmv. My 30-06 is relic, hand me down from father in laws grandfather. Shoots good. Loves the partitions and 220grn interlock RN Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk

Order some of smokes powder here on the forum. It's the best Edit: sorry forgot what forum I was on via tapatalk. Check out smokes advertisements on castboolits His powders are very easy to use compared to others. And he also sells sample packs and the airsoft bbs Sent from my SM-J337VPP using...

Then they should be fine. They are coated in the factory I would imagine. Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk

Since these are home made primers, what chemicals did you use to make them? How long have you had them on the shelf? Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk

No worries. If you put them in an airtight container with some rice or they should last a while Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk

Did you coat the primers once finished with a shellac or nail polish? These will effectively seal them for storage. If not I would store your loaded cases in a airtight container with a mild dessicant. Maybe some rice or a magnesium fire block or something [magnesium is a dessicant] Also I...

Are you referring to hand loaded primers in cases without powder and bullet Or commercial primers in cases without powder and bullet? Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk

It's really nice stuff in my experience Sent from my SM-J337VPP using Tapatalk

Okay, I think I'm getting more comfortable with this a bit. I'm sticking to lighter loads tho for now 12-1600 fps. Now does COAL have a significant effect on accuracy at 100yards? Book says going forward and back will increase or decrease chamber pressures due to the lead- distance to engage the...

With the RCBS die I set the seating stem all the way up and it resulted in the too short 1.90 cartridge so I compensated and backed the die body out a bit. I had bought 2 dies to designate one for a supersonic load and another for subs so once I found what I like I wouldn't need to fiddle with...

I dont think so. with this rcbs die it wants to make the bullet seat very deeply. I had to back the die out quite a bit unless I want to have the oal too short. And on some it caused the shoulder to cave in. I had read that crimping was an optional process so I didnt worry too much at first...

My first rounds put togethere. Loaded with: Once shot 300blk PPU brass 150grn speer round nose 14 grains of H110 I set the OAL to 2.1960 to try to emulate the factory sig sauer rounds my gun likes. Hornandy says this should go about 1600-1700 fps. I have 3 rejects. I double checked them...
