    Anyone using "used" bullets to melt down for reloading?

    Range lead is what I use for all pistol calibers and 7.62x39. I currently have over 2,000 lbs and get from my range for free. Its generally a mix of about half jacketed and half commercial hard cast and casts great. Fit is more important than hardness in most cases and I am able to run plain...

    Bullet seating - .223

    Actually neck sizing works very well for the .223 ar15. I use the Lee collet die to neck size followed by a Redding body die to just bump the shoulder back a tad. I get great accuracy ang long case life with this method.

    Anyone Loading 7.62X39 ?

    Have been handloading for my mak 90 for many years and exclusively shoot cast bullets from reclaimed range lead. I size 135 grain bullets to .314 and make gas checks out of aluminum using a brit .303 check maker tool. H4198 is my powder of choice . I get very good accuracy for an ak and with...

    Should I Start Casting?

    Most of the naysayers are those who dont cast. Everyone I know who casts wouldnt dream of giving it up. You dont need very hard lead unless you're planning on rifle velocites over 2500 fps or so. Under that bullet fit is the key to success. I mine lead from range berms using a sifter. 900...

    In 40 cal pistol, with my loads, a SRP generally adds around 50 fps to the same load using a SPP.

    ak round

    A good load for me is 20 grains of H4198 for a 135 grain bullet. Not super fast, but cycles every time, and, with annealing every fifth or so reload, I get around 25 reloads on a case. Be sure to slug your barrel. Foreign Ak's usually run large groove diameters. Mine takes a .314 cast bullet...

    Driving lead cast bullets over 1000fps

    Marlin lever gun in .357 mag. I run plain base that cast to 163 grains in the 1600 fps range all the time with 296 powder with no leading, whatsoever. This is a mix of range lead and pure lead, water dropped. Bullet diameter and powder burn rate are the keys. Shorter barrels will never see...

    Hornady Lock and Load cases tilting

    Some of the older dies didn't have much of a bevel, or lead-in, and weren't the best for progressive presses.

    Unique powder question...

    My problems with Unique went away after I grounded my press. I grounded it to the grounding wire in an electrical outlet using a 1 meg resister. Unique appears to be very sensitive to static electricity. I very successfully use it now in my Hornady LNL AP measure. Another thing to try is to...

    Do all AK variants murder brass?

    My MAK 90 slightly dings the brass but I'm averaging 25 reloads with my brass, somewhat reduced pressure and annealing after 5. I only shoot cast through mine - reloaders dream IMO.

    Am I asking too much of my LNL AP?

    I've loaded 10's of thousands of rounds, pistol and bottleneck rifle, on my LNL and love the machine. Right off the get-go, I performed all the little tweaks that are commonly known to help, and never looked back. I prime all my brass on the LNL, including .5moa performing .223. A couple of...
