I am posting this video on behalf of Larry Palmer with his permission. I love how Larry makes a makeshift oven using a metal toolbox, a thermometer, and a homemade rocket stove. Great job Larry! Full.Lead.TacoI love guns, tacos, and lead. I use the guns. The guns eat lead. And I eat tacos. The videos […]

Testing A Potential Future NOE Sprue Plate Coating Option

This version is with-out music over dialog

This is a Video Response to Full.Lead.Taco's Tacopocalypse Video.

‘In the beginning…’ I started casting and ‘Lube-Sized’ my rifle/pistol projectiles…back then, the choice of lube was a hot topic and there were many heated exchanges about which lube would allow particular advantages. Some lubes required a ‘heater’ to be installed under the Sizer, some not. ‘Leading’ of the barrel was a problem when the […]

Years ago (after much frustration with my Marlington/Remlin 30-30), I gave up on the 30-30 cartridge.  I just could never get my Marlin 336 to shoot well.  I tried factory ammo, reloaded ammo with jacketed bullets, pointy hornady (flex tip) bullets, cast bullets, etc… as well as several different powders.  My levergun just shot horribly.  […]

Ruger American - 300 blk subsonic playing card challenge

Survival Pistol? Bolt Action Side Charging AR (No Gas)

Here is my entry into the Taco 2000 subscriber drawing. Thanks to Full.Lead.Taco for encouraging us all to get out and experiment to see how we would continue our hobbies in the face of the demise of civilization as we know it.

The Live Stream will be this Saturday, October 20th, at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific. The Reloaders Network website is 6 months old! A big thanks to everyone that has been involved so far. Also, a huge thanks to some really kind folks that sent me a few items.

This video will hopefully get some guys working on some 30-30 Winchester rounds. I'll be developing some, and hope you all will join in. The main objective is to get those old rifles out, dust them off, and start loading for and shooting them. So, I hope to be seeing lots of 30-30 videos. Join in when you can, and let's have some fun!

The generosity of the reloading community is simply just amazing. I don't even know what to say. I will be making 9mm rounds in a couple of days.

A while back I wanted to see what the lightest bullet I could load in my 300 blk would be. I worked my way all the way down to a round ball load. Someone asked me if I was worried about a baffle strike with the round ball–I asked them, ” what do you think […]

Hello, This is a video I posted on YouTube on April 26, 2018. It shows a casting session with 3 molds, one of which was given to me as a give-a-way on a Full.Lead.Taco/Loads of Bacon live stream, thus the title. This is the first attempt at casting with the Taco Mold (358477) 150 grain semi […]

I was finally able to get to the range and gather some velocity data using Ramshot True Blue by Western Powders. The two bullets used were the Lee 356-124-2R and the NOE HTC-358-133-RN. The lighter Lee bullets seemed to prefer a lighter charge while the heavier bullet from NOE preferred a higher charge. This goes […]

My First Bullet Casting Session - Part Two. You experienced bullet casters out there, please offer as much advice as you want to. I value your opinions!

Little pot trouble, but ok now.

In today's video, I am powder coating my recent cast 9mm rounds. I am using Harbor Freight Red powder. I am having trouble with the powder sticking to the bullets. After watching several videos from authors of The Reloaders Network, I'm still not getting the results I want. All the rounds are usable, but they just don't look the best. Some have thin and thick spots, and some have bare spots. Factors such as weather, humidity, and types of plastic containers could be affecting my results. All the rounds were sized to .356 using a NOE Sizing Die.

Tres Amigos Tres Molds Tres Rifles We each sent the others a batch of cast bullets for testing in different rifles, different temperatures, and altitudes. But, all with the same loads. Here are our results.

338 Spectre Cast 250gr Subsonic Bolt Gun Loads (NOE341-245-SP)

I want to thank AL NELSON, Full lead Taco, Loads of Bacon, and all of my buddies who reload. I am almost positive they let me win to shut me up!! Shipping was quick, the chat was on 3/20, Taco contacted me on 3/21 to pick a mould, and it arrived on 3 /23. Again, […]

Today is the day. First time casting bullets. I am using a Lee 4 20lb pot. A NOE HTC358-133-RN-BO5 2 cavity mould. I have several pounds of processed wheel weights that I will be using. My first session this morning, about 50% were acceptable, and the second session after lunch about 85-90% were looking good.
