will either try international clays or wst or power pistol which ever powder i can get. just got an email today and dillion is shipping my dies fri. thanks for the heads up on the wait for the bullets will have to order this weekend. i guess i will drink the green koolaid and with my kid shootin have to save money somehow, and everyone is saying there good. thanks for the replies guys.
Bayou bullets are great, as you have heard. However, IIRC International Clays is not safe due to pressure spikes in handguns. Clays, and Universal Clays should be ok.

Not any more

I would add some aspirin in case one of us seniors or super seniors keel over with chest pain

Carnival stages are fine and even the memory stages are ok though at my age I ......what were we talking about? Oh, yeah gotcha stages. I believe these are the ones that make you flirt with the 180 and as a general rule should be condemned out of hand.

I have used the 124 bayou with Titegroup indoors and no noticeable smoke. If you have titegroup already I suggest you load some und shot them to see for yourself before you eliminate it as a choice.

I have used Montana Gold as jacketed and they arean excellent bullet. I prefer coated bullets of the Precision or Bayou variety. Either is a good product at a cheaper alternative to jacketed. I am currently shooting the Bayou in both 9 mm and 40S&W. The Bayou is cleaner to handle and I like the green color. I would not shoot the Precision with Titegroup, but there is no smoke to speak off using it with the Bayou even indoors. There is a bit of a funny smell with the Bayou and Titegroup however.

I have bayou 180s on order and plan to shoot them out of my G24. I'm going to start with 4.4 gr at 1.135 and go up or down depending on the chrono. BTW I shoot the bayou 124 out of my G34 with tight group indoors and there is no smoke to speak of.

I shoot Bayou lead bullets in 9mm with tight group. No smoke, but does smell a little funny

the Lone Wolf barrel has traditional rifeling, not the same as a OEM glock barrel and does fine with lead

I want to make B class in 2012 shooting limited with my Glock 24. Since I plan on shooting the crap out of it and I am semi retired (limited funds), I plan on casting most of my practice bullets. I already have plenty of lead alloy and molds. Currently I am using two Lee 401-175-TC 6 cavity molds, sizing with a Lee 401 push through sizer. Alloy is wheel weight or range scrap sweeted with a little tin. I am tumble lubing with 45/45/10 JPW/LLA/MS and loading over 5.4 gr VV340 to OA length 1.120. I am using am using a Lone Wolf barrel. I have not run these over the chrono as yet. I have several pounds each of Bullseye, Universal Clays, Titegroup and SR 4756 once I run through the pound of VV 340. Anyone else cast their own and if so what mold, alloy, lube, powder do you use.

My wife and I were at the range shooting her M&P Pro 9mm when the thing jammed up with the slide about 3/4 of the way back, a case still underneath the extractor. The case slid out ok whe I pushed it, but could not get the slide to move foreward or backward until I got it home and then I was able to get the slide to go foreward by taping gently with a rubber hammer. I tried again to retract the slide but it stuck again about 3/4 of the way back. I cannot get to the sear disconnect lever and can not get the take down lever to fully depress so I can not remove the slide. Anyone have a similar problem or any ideas how to fix?

Too much social work and not enough Zombie killin'

I called Cabelas today to try to buy 3 of the M&P 9mm mags. Out of stock. Could backorder but they did not know when they will be in.

i'm a nephrologist. That's a kidney doctor. The kidneys are one of the organs that can be damaged by lead, usually ingested in moonshine. Inhaled lead from shooting in indoor ranges is not vaporized but particulate and is filtered in the nasal passages and then swallowed for the most part and thats how it gets in. Lead will not vaporize while casting unless the pot gets way too hot-greater than 900 degrees F IIRC. My casting area is in a gararge. I keep the windows open more because I do not like the smoke from fluxing not so much out of fear of the lead.
-
I have to weigh in here. I have been casting bullets for about 15 years. I don't think I have saved that much money as I have bought plenty of pots molds and other stuff to do it. I do get to shoot more for the money I believe. But it is really a hobby. I do not consider it work to cast bullets, rather it is a time to relax and ponder. Since it is a hobby the cost within reason does not matter. Something magic about pouring molten lead into a mold and a few seconds later out pops a shiney new bullet. It always amazes me. BTW I am a physician and as long as the lead is not ingested or inhaled and then swallowed(as in the dust) then no a big health risk. More dangerous driving to the range.

That is all well and good, but what is the receipe?

I cannot find the orange oil based "gunk" handclearner to clean the powder hopper as described for the 650. I can find Gojo orange and Fast orange hand cleaners, but they have pumice in them. Will those work?

I wanted to try revolver after shooting limited, limited 10, production, and open. I plan to shoot SS and revolver. Trying to simplyfy my shooting life. So the 625 seemed the way to go. Bought a new 625JM and have managed to make c class. With the price of components increasing I have gone back to casting my own. I use three 6 cavity 230gr Lee TL moulds and I can really crank out these bullets during a loadind session. I use wheel weight or scrap range lead with a little tin. Lube with Alox liquid, Roosters or JPW. They shoot real well from all the 1911s I have but keyhole out of the 625. They mic. at .452. I can not push them through the cylinder, so they do not seem undersized. Moly coated lead bullets the same size work fine. Berrys shoot OK too. Are the gooves too shallow for lead in the 625JM. Anybody else have this problem. Any thought about a solution. I'm going to try some tradition lead 230 gr rn and see if these do better. Oterwise I guess it will be moly coated or Berrys. I was really hoping to have one bullet load for SS and Revo and would like to roll my own so to speak. BTW the load is 4.5 gr Bullseye and WLP for the SS and Federal 150 for the 625 ( if I can get any more primers)
