      Opinions on Different Lead Melters

      I currently use a Harbor Freight propane burner/stove to melt lead with. It works fine but it's slow and on breezy or windy days the flame can get blown out. I've considered a turkey fryer base. I also have a line on an old plumbers furnace that mounts atop a propane cylinder. I'm wondering...

      I really want to replace my Glock sights.

      I have tried to work with the stock sights on my G3 model 26 for two years. I give up. there are dozens of after market sights out there, they are no doubt better than stock. I really don't need glow in the dark, laser range finding, tactical feed back, micro chip compatible sights. I also...

      Low Recoil CLEAN load for 9mm LRN

      That's what I'm looking for. I tried 5.2gr of HS-6 with a 120gr LRN, oal is 1.096. This was a smooth shooter but I had issues with accuracy after 60-70 rounds. It's also fouling pretty bad. I figure the accuracy is partly due to lack of good obturation resulting in leading the barrel. The...

      Been Wondering While Using Cast Bullets

      Last year I started casting my 9mm bullets due to the shortage of cheap plated bullets. I use the Lee 4 die set with no problems on plated or jacketed bullets. When I use cast bullets the FCD will drag as I remove the finished cartridge. I have found the OAL increases slightly after crimping...

      Cast bullet hardness and chamber pressure.

I average 875fps with 124gr PBRN...
