Reloading slugs

Some times the Fed primers are a bit small for straight walled hulls. The other brands I find a bigger the Rio ones being the biggest.

If you cast some 700gn 500’s i’ll buy em off you :grin: i know i need a .50 mould but have no idea about weights when i looked at it

Then you just have to worry about lead poisoning! :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I’ve got a well ventilated spot for casting so I’m not to fussed about it.
Need to have a look at what postage would cost to send em to people.

So will they be called GUN-Projectiles or GUN-Slugs? :grinning:

probably the best postage would be the 3kg, 5kg fixed price Aus post satchels. put a box inside to stop breakage. Once fired sends his brass this way. Not that I would do that again, just not worth it. Brass fired in AR’s streched to the max dints everywhere. Must have small base die.

I bought a bunch of 30-06 from him and apart from there being a milsurp berdan primed case (which cost me a decapping pin) it was all good.
I’d buy brass from him again, maybe just avoid 223.

$15 odd postage For a 3kg pack, which will hold 80 odd of the big slugs, that’s pretty reasonable!

@GUN-DMC I think you be casting tomorrow. Nice cool day for it. :grin:

I have a small base die that I am never likely to use if you want it.

I didnt have a problem with him as such. It was more the economics of it all. I purchased 223 and at the time the price per 100 for the once fired was about 2/3 of new ADI/OSA brass $38 per 100. When I factored in the amount of case prep time even on the basis of not really valuing my time very much it was a lot of work.

@juststarting

Are you trying to corrupt him lol.
I gather that they are made better than the new ones.

He is currently trying to reload shitty ribbed clay hulls.
