After I am done casting a few hundred bullets, how long should I wait before I size and lube them? Right away are they softer and size better? A wait period for them to harden for better sizing? Is there a wait period that is too long that they become too hardened for best sizing? Thanks for...

Yesterday was my first attempt at bullet casting. I have watched many videos and read a great deal on this forum as well as others. I am glad to say most everything went well. All of my equipment (pot, ingot molds, bullet mold) is RCBS. The alloy I am using is RotoMetals #2 Lyman. I am also...

I was just wondering what the best practice is for shutting down a melting pot. After I am done casting, do I drain all remaining alloy out of the pot, leave anything that is left over in the pot and just heat up next time, fill the pot to some level before shutting down? If I am to drain the...

Thanks for the reply and great insights. I am just starting and no reply with help is taken in any way but constructive. I am going to be casting only .44-40 WCF and primarily Cowboy Loads for plinking and shooting at both indoor and outdoor ranges. Muzzle velocity of somehere between 950 to...

I am just starting to cast boolits and looking for some advice. I need to buy some alloy and right now looking at Lyman#2 type to start. There are many websites and places to buy alloy. If you do not take price into consideration, who do you think makes the highest quality pure alloy? Thanks!

Thanks for the offer, I would very much appreciate some to try. My email is [email protected]. Please just let me know what to send you for shipping and where to send it to. Thanks again for helping out!

I recently purchased a Puma Model 92 Bounty Hunter in .44-40 caliber. This is a replica of a cut down Winchester 1892 rifle and called a Mare's Leg. I would like to learn to cast my own bullets for Cowboy Loads. I have not slugged the bore but I did call Puma for the barrel specs. It is a...

I have been reloading for many years but now my first attempt at .44-40 Win Cowboy Loads. I have read many cautions about the thin necks and the problems when seating the bullet. The instructions that came with my RCBS .44-40 Win Cowboy Dies says "The case mouth should be expanded and Flared...

Lester from Bruno's phoned me yesterday to clear up my order. He was only seeing the second order for 2 boxes. He was great to deal with, got my order squared away and will be shipping the 3 boxes of primers in the next couple of weeks. He did have them in stock. His phone lines still give a...

It is the same here as well. The thing that is odd with Bruno's is that the phone lines, all three, never ever ring. I dial the number and then instead of hearing the rings that nobody has time to pick up, it just goes to a quick busy like a dead or disconnected line.

I have been trying for days to phone Bruno Shooters Supply and get a very quick busy for all three numbers they have listed. I even tried their numbers during the middle of the night when I know they were closed and get the same thing. I have sent emails but get no response to those either...
