Great info! I'm about to start casting and powder coating 9MM so this video was very helpful.

Thanks man, I just started my first 356 today, I also have a rock chucker that will be showing up tomorrow, I just ordered the resize die, I should be all set, great video man, I appreciate it!!

Just starting powder coating and Lee lube and resizing dies supposed to be here Friday. Thanks for the info.

got to love the rabbit holes

Thanks, appreciate the demo.

Like running a old school punch press Just get rhythm Like Johny Cash said Great video

I actually use about a pea size dab of Lee sizing paste in a zip lock bag and shake several hundred bullets. Coats all of them really lightly but does a great job

I buy the Berrys 357 125 target bullets and load them as is for the 38, size them down to 356 for my 9mm, saves having a lot of different bullets on hand.

Good job Brother all the way from Sweden 🇸🇪

Teflon dry lube works cleanly.

Good job 👍👍

I size my bullets before powder coating and after seems to work out very well for me

What's the point of sizing 2x when it only takes once to get the same result?

this some more rabbit hole carrots smh. Loving y'alls handle balls lol

Hey my friend, I have a question. I plan to reload for 357 mag and 9 mm. For 9 mm my goal for a fitts all round is a subsonic 147 grain. Lee has no moldes for that in 9 mm. My idea for casting is for both caliber a 150 grain 357 mag bullet. Do you think, it will pass the cone of 9 mm? In magnum this bullet would be fine as well with the mag-cone for me. Thank you, I learned a lot from you! Saludos cordiales de South America

I think it is possible just work up your recipe in 9mm

Can you get a mold for 357 cast bullets and then resize some of them down to 9mm thus allowing you to cast both bullets with one mold?

Typically the .357 molds are a bit heavier. I think if you found something at or below 147 grain you could size it down to a .356. I have personally never tried and I am rather new to casting.

Hello sir. I'm a novice reloader I have a couple of questions, first I have a 9mm 3 die set didn't come with a factory die crimper is it necessary to factory crimp the 9mm bullet? second question when casting bullets with wheel weights do you add any other metal to make the bullet softer or harder. Thanks and be blessed

If you’re talking about the Lee Factory Crimp die then yes I would use one. Puts a nice tapered crimp on the cartridge.

Started casting and powder coating a few months ago. Never sprayed lube on them before sizing. How much does that really help?

It doesn’t that’s just how I was shown when I first started. I could getting the powder coat baked correctly is the real trick to sizing them.

My thing is if you lube he bullet you are reducing the friction of the bullet to the mold Yes that's the idea but thebissueay arise where the grease allows it to slide to easily and will not form the bullet correctly. Just my idea but me personally I JUST got my pit and sizing dies 45 mins prior to making this comment I would not lube the projectiles. Just a thought

I have done it with and without lube on my powder coated bullets. The only difference I noticed was they slide through the sizing die a bit easier but not much. Noticed zero difference on the chronograph. Also this was using one shot that pretty much dries and leaves no residue. As I have worked through my techniques on this process I don’t use lube any longer as I do not see the need to add cost into it for little benefit in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Very good video btw. this is where i think people are always like "WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH lead fouling, regardless of fps" No ur dumb, your probably casting some chunky ass thicc bullets that are way bigger, than your barrel is meant for, hence why you have fouling and lead build up...
