A friend of mine who worked at a local tire shop would bring me a bucket of old wheel weights every month or so. I would say about 25-35% of them were not lead on average. I would say you are doing pretty well.

MW3840 is spot on. Except we use those for pecans around here.

Only time I've ever seem that is either over sized cast bullets, or with a Lee seat/crimp die that is crimping before the bullet is seated fully.

I started out using CCI exclusively, and swore by them because I found them to be very consistent and never had one fail to ignite. When prices started creeping up to and past the $35/1k mark, I bought a few thousand wolf and Tula primers for about $18/1k. For my shooting needs they are...

As far as I know this can not be done directly in QuickLoad. I am using an older version, so there may be an update that addresses this issue. The only thing I could think to try is adjusting shot start initiation pressure. This would by no means be scientific, but it may give you some idea...

I don't have any pictures handy, but I have built a few similar to what you are describing. The only problem I see with what you are trying to do is that there can be such a variation in brass ejection patterns between any two guns, or the same gun with a different load. Your brass catcher...

http://www.sellier-bellot.cz/pistol-and-revolver-detail.php?ammunition=9&product=66 Looks like this is what you have. I've never heard of 9 mm BROWNING COURT, but it appears to be the same as .380. From casing pictures I have seen on other sites of the two, it appears the only difference is...

Assuming they are all lead, about $2000 sounds fair for that kind of volume. Only problem is more and more WWs are getting to be zinc and steel. My local tire shop averages about 60% lead with the remainder being zinc/steel, and the amount of lead seems to be going down about 5% per year.

There was a guy on here last Christmas who's wife bought him one for that purpose. From what I remember, it works well, just extremely loud!

I started reloading as a cost saving measure. That very quickly turned into shooting about 4 times what I normally did, because the ammo was so inexpensive. Then I began casting to actually save some money.....not I shoot about 10 times the amount that I used to! Totally worth it though...

A good portion of my gun collection came to be due to finding a large amount of brass on the range that I didn't have a gun to reload for. I can only hope one day I am fortunate enough to stumble upon a pile of 50 BMG brass on the ground!

The only other thing I can think of is that it was separating when it hit the backstop, earth berm about 25 feet away, and splattering back. At this range it normally rains dirt/mud with every shot from this beast.

Shot some 500gn Hornady SP bullets yesterday and while packing up to leave the range noticed many copper jacket fragments withing about 2-5 feet of the firing line and one on the bench. I am sure these were not here when I started shooting because I scrounged the range for brass and saw nothing...

The biggest problem I have is finding too much brass of a caliber that I do not own a gun for. I mean, I have no choice but to buy a gun that I can reload them for.....

This by far my favorite bullet for my 8 3/8" 500 S&W. While I haven't gotten a chance to chrony any of these loads yet, I am still very pleased with their accuracy and performance. I use Starline brass and Winchester large rifle mag primers for the below. For a light plinking load, :D, I use...

http://www.mredepot.com/servlet/the-673/223-Rem-fdsh-5.56x45mm-Once-Fired/Detail About 8 cent each, plus they come packed in a 50cal ammo can with 500 each. I have ordered from them before, and all appeared to be once fired (primer crimp intact).

At best you could get by with the same primers and maybe power if you wanted to, other than that not really.

The only two powders I have ever used with mine (4 separate measures) is Bullseye and H110. Bullseye meters like a champ in it, with no mess to speak of. H110, like you have found, does tend to be a bit messy, but still meters very well.

No problem vacuuming powder, primers are another story though. I had to replace most of the components of my Roomba after the first time it cleaned my reloading room.
