Hell, I thought everyone sifted their powder!?!? LOL. Just kiddin. But I will keep a sharper eye on my powder after hearing this!

Nice rattletrap1970! I have good reason to believe one of those fold up shooting benchs in there by the tree. Be wanting one for a long while.

That's a creative way to settle the powder. Would like to see a picture of that! Me, being not so creative, I just kinda tap it with my thumb before each drop.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! I'm up early waiting for Santa...

Thank you guys, You have given me a hell of a lot of valuable information that ain't gonna be in a book. I really appreciate it. No s@$#! Sounds like I picked a difficult bullet for my first to cast, but all in all with this new info I fell ready to go for it asap.

Thank you gentlemen. The info about not melting dirty stuff in your bottom pour furnace and the link will no doubt save me many many hours of frustration. I do appreciate it. NG

Decided to finally start casting my own. So, got a Lyman 3rd edition cast bullet handbook and did some reading. Have gotten, over some time, about everything needed to start I think. A lee bottom pour pot, Lee mold for 405 gn hollow base 45-70, DGL bullet lube, a little 20:1 lead. This is...

Thanks NCsmitty, I am pretty new to all that the internet offers. So, I appreciate learning what's out there. I will check those out. I'm glad I found THR. Ya'll are treating this new guy great. Thanks everybody.

Thanks mhat. I do appreciate all the input i can get. I just tried my first load, 47.4 gn Rx-15. (from the sierra book) That came out at about 2920. They claimed 3200 for that load. So want to increase that. Want to be around the speed you got if I can. Then work up loads for 4350 and...

Thank you for your answers Gentlemen! And thanks for the welcome. This is looking like a great place to find and share information. The data I mentioned is from the Sierra 5th edition- way different from the Lyman. Sierra puts the max load for Rx-15 at 51 gn for about 3400 fps, and the max...

I'm about to load for .270 Win for the first time and want to try the Sierra (#1800) 90 gn hp. I have IMR 4350 and Reloder 15 on hand. Either seems like a good choice. Judging from the manuals 4350 will deliver higher speed, but that's not the most important factor for me. I wonder if anyone...

In the Lyman 49th Edition Reloder 15 is abbreviated as Rx15. Hope this helps!
