Hey Elvis, am trying to get the accuracy that I need. The mold is great, producing some awesome rounds. Question: what are you using to size them to .311? Sizing mine to .309 and the accuracy is horrible. My barrel is .311 and the bullets are dropping out at about .312 - .314. Could my accuracy issue be due to the difference in the bullets and the barrel. Would really appreciate some help, Thanks in advance.

What is a good all around hardness for a lead bullet
@kevinmarrett95324 күн бұрын
One thing I really want to see is load development with zinc bullets cast in molds that would be ultra heavy for caliber in lead (such as what would be a 450 grain lead bullet mold for .452, but cast in zinc instead)

I have one question, this primer material is made with various acids, is the end result corrosive ? Do you know if there's a way of home-making any non-corrosive primers ? I'm all for the home-made (mainly for budgetary reasons mind you, that and the pleasure of shooting something you can proudly say "I made this myself"), but I wouldn't want to fire corrosive ammo in my guns... Thanks for your work, your videos have been among my main sources of info from the start in reloading, bullet casting, and powder coating.

There are a few factors that play a role with scales, either cheap or expensive : resolution, repeatability, linearity and damping . You should use your cheap scale the way it’s designed to work. An expensive analytic scale will take seconds to stabilize but that’s a different league . The cheap scale work surprisingly well if you make it re-weigh by just touching it . A kernel of powder often ist enough to trigger the scale. If you know this these scales a useable for normal use ( to periodically check a powder load). For trickling loads for f class it’s a different story

When you use a 1 lb bottle for a good while or let propane gas out of a bottle you lower it's temperature. Feel the bottle, you will feel the change .
@Patrick_Gray20 күн бұрын
I have had an adapter just like you show for over 30 years. I have filled many propane bottles like you show. People should read the warnings on the bottle that says it is illegal to re-fill the 1 lb bottles and transport them. ** You keep saying let the air out, air is what we breathe. The air we breathe is a mixture of gases, by volume 78.1% nitrogen, 21.0% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.04% carbon dioxide. ** The propane bottles have liquid propane in them that changes into a gas to leave the upright bottle. A propane tank should not have air in it, propane in gas form but not air like we breathe. ** If a tank did get a little air in it, it would not fill right. But the air would bleed out when the bottle is upright and you use it a little or release the some of the propane gas in it very carefully like you show. Propane gas is heavier than air. ** I charged air conditioners since the mid 1960's and had to be careful not to let even a little air from the gauge set hoses into a system. ** Propane like refrigerants increases in pressure when it gets warmer and has a lower pressure when cool. That is why some people say to cool the 1 pound tank. The warmer 20 lb bottle will have more pressure in it than a cooled 1 lb bottle with just a little propane. For each temperature there is a certain pressure. Each different refrigerant has a different pressure temperature table. ** Also people need to know not to over fill the 1 lb tanks! When I camp I use propane from a 20 lb bottle with a hose to my portable Weber grill. There are now refillable 1 lb tanks but they cost $20 to $30. ** The 20 lb propane bottles are only legal to refill for 12 years after the stamped date. The work around is to exchange an old tank at a excange location like Lowe's. You only get 15 lbs of propane in the exchange tank.

Shooting a ak with that same bullet I was getting 1760 in a 15” barrel .308 rifling usa barrel . I made the charge using primer indicators and cycling ability. Later when I got a chronometer I tested my speed so i figured that was the “natural FPS “ that sort of bullet should be. But in a ak it had more case capacity but I was using powders not perfect for the ak Maby w748 or something. Covid caused a lot of issues for us and I sometimes resorted to duplex loads . Maby a 5grain spot to get the pressure up on a slower powder seemed to do the trick as needed. I used this reliably for a lot of rds.

You should wait 45-60 seconds after a non fire round the primer compound can delay discharge! Led azide is the explosive compound used in most primers and it is acctualy unstable in general, I have personal experience with a explosion from primer compound and it was not pretty!
