Thanks for this video! A great help for my castings. That chart makes it real quick, easy and simple, for starting points. Anybody that has ever experienced a "leaded barrel" will never make that mistake again! Fast speeds do not always equal the best performance or accuracy.

THANKS for the best explanation. I am new to casting and won't put a bullet in my gun without some idea of it's hardness.

I wouldn't stress over it. But it is a great tool to help dial in what works best for you. Thanks for watching and commenting. Check me out on Rumble.com as LeadSmith45. I've got several more videos there.

Great video. I wonder if you did the flat spot test and then turned right around and did the end of the boolit you would get the same readings? That could verify if Mr. LEE's recommended side test was even necessary???

Sounds like an exercise worth trying at some point for curiosity sake. I just never gave it that much thought. Thanks for stopping by and chiming in. Lord bless you my friend.

If you hold a metal ruler knife edge across the top of the die, it will stop the pin from protruding past the top of the die.

There is some slight tolerance below and above flush that Lee states in his instructions. There is a possibility that adding an item to the top of the die will affect the pressure and give a false reading. I don't know how much it would take to cause a false reading. It may be worth doing some testing just for kicks. Thanks for watching!

Your setup for holding microscope works great…. But consider this for even easier application. Obviously you haz 1911 . If you cast for that, you prolly haz .452 Lee sizer ? I fortunately haz Lee push thru. Leave boolit in cradle on ram. Remove Lee test punch, install .452 sizer, bring ram up so boolit is up against bottom of sizer. Slide microscope down thru sizer, to rest on bullet. Shine your little bore light in.
