Cast Bullets From Loads of Bacon And The RCBS LubeAMatic 2 Sizer Lubricator
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 гру 2017
- We're going to do more accuracy testing on traditional lube vs powder coat cast bullets. And the recent bullets from Loads of Bacon are going to provide us more data on this project. So first, let's do some traditional sizing lubricating with RCBS...
Another excellent tutorial, you will find it much easier to fit the die and gland nut into the press if you use a hot air gun to pre warm it, also less chance of cross threading the nut. Happy New Year to you ! Chris B.
That’s what I do especially when using stiff lubes. You can get a hot air gun at a hobby store that sells model airplane supplies.
Hey Mr fortune cookie! This is why I love our casting, powder coating, reloading community. Loads of bacon sent all my favorite channels some lead fun to play with. Can't wait for the other videos. Happy New Year!!!
SP69 - That LoB is really generous in doing this - and I intend to really make his gift a gift to all - by getting more good data (40 5 shot groups) to establish accuracy and consistency comparison of PC and traditionally lubed cast bullets. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy new year FC! Looking forward to the accuracy comparison. Thank you for everything you do for all of us casters, reloaders, and shooters!
LoB - Sure appreciate your generous and timely gift in these bullets...If I can translate that to more evidence to allow all of us to benefit...that's the goal...and Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year FC to you and all the family, thanks for all your hard work making great videos. Just recently purchased some powders from Eastwood on your recommendation and the bullets turned out great.
R7sixtwo - Thanks for your HNY and for your gracious comments... Congrats on Eastwood PC - I've gone back to hand tumbling the PC in plastic jugs with the Eastwood powders - no failures yet and good results...no need to vibe tumble with Eastwood powders - worth the extra cost for the reliability and versatility (although Harbor Freight Red is still a good powder). I'll still vibe tumble on those occasions when hand tumbling won't get the job done. Good shootin' to ya, FC Steve
Happy New Year ! Give Thanks For Love , Peace & Bacon Grease !!!
Dan O'Neill - Hah!! There's a certain LoB that joys over that...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Adjusting the stop is so fast and easy I see no reason why wouldn't anyone take advantage. I just got my press a week ago and it took me a while to figure out how to make that adjustment, before that I was ready to modify top punch and it turned out to be so simple.
Dima Prok - Thanks for your comments - the stop is there to be used for sure. If you check out some of my videos on the use of the machine, I calculate that I can do 720 bullets an hour doing one bullet every 5 seconds and I use feel and handle position to determine depth of the stroke...That works fine for me so I don't bother with the stop...but the stop is there to be used for anyone who wants to use it - Why not? I think I left the machine set for a 45 SWC ACP bullet and just leave it there. I have so many different cast bullets, the feel and handle position work well for me...if I used the stop, might be happier. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
happy new year FC !!!!!!!!!!! thanks so much for all you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe P - Glad you dropped in, and thanks for the HNY - Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year to the Hot Lead Zone!!
mark perez - Thought of starting off the new year with some bullet casting but it was just too cold outside (and I'm not even in Wisconsin)...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
A happy new year to you and your family
peteralexben - And looking forward to 2018 and working with you on getting information out to any who want it...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year!A well thought out video as usual.
Jim Vaughn - Thanks for noticing that we have to do an outline or storyboard before doing these videos if we want to have good flow in the information transmission...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year !
And to you, Jeff - Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Grease in the grove . Looking forward to 2018 for good videos . Happy New Years.
Nick L - Howdy to ya, Nick..! And blasters at the ready...!! Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve

shannon james - You guys are just too cool..!! Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Thanks FC your a great help and asset to the reloading community : )
Pretty slick video on lubrication!! Hope you & yours had a great Christmas & New Years !!
shananagans5 - Hah..!! Slick on lubrication...You didn't think I got that one, did you? Brought a nice smile. Here's wishing the best of 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year
bj - and to you a Happy 2018..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year to you and your family....Cant't wait for the comparison between old school and the new PC bullets.
Nordic 1957 - Thanks greatly and next weekend will be the testing....I'm looking forward to adding a lot of data to the PC / traditional lube database...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy new year to you and your family too!!
Happy New Year FC45LC. Cheers
Ole Thanatos - And to you - a great 2018..!! FC Steve
Another excellent and informative video from the Master. Looking forward to seeing how these shoot. Happy New Year to you, FortuneCookie45LC!
JCM45 - The timing and generosity of LoB sending me these bullets was perfect. Gonna be a big job shooting 40 5 shot groups with all the chrono and SD - but the more data we get on PC vs traditional, the better = conclusions we can bank on. Thanks for posting and Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
FortuneCookie45LC - I can't think of anyone else who is better suited to this task. Looking forward to the results!
Hey FC Steve, happy New Year, will look for the testing video :-)
Nick J - And yes, Nick - the shooting data is in the spreadsheet...There was a small error in data transfer, but it did not affect the conclusions at all... Have a great day to ya, Gig Harbor..!! FC Steve
I'm seeing Bacon's bullets on all kinds of channels. He must be gearing up to go into business or something. Haha
Happy new year. Thanks for a new video fine sir.
elcaminosunlimited - And thanks for posting comment...much appreciated - Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
You are correct getting the top nut back on my sizer can be a core.
MrThomass281 - Ha!! I wondered if anyone would comment on that one.. It only took me a minute and a half to bite the threads right... Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
FortuneCookie45LC Yes, I have had a few times when I thought it was seated. Then as I sized bullets the nut came off. Happy New Year to you.
Well done. Happy new year to you sir.
justadbeer - And I appreciate you posting... Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Cookie, I'm getting some .44 Mag ready to go for the range. Things have warmed up a bit although it's not perfect accuracy weather out there, I'll try my best.
TA777 - The 44 Blaster is not your usual cup of joe, Dave...it's going to be interesting videos for sure...!! Best to ya for 2018, Dave...FC Steve
Happy New Year ! :-)
DM - and a Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
RCBS makes some of my favorite luber sizers. I also have an ancient Lyman sizer. Great video. I have a lube question for you. What’s the velocity limit of a lee 30-30 150 grain bullet sized to .309 and tumble lubed with 50-50 allox bees wax? I want to load them to about 1700 fps without gas check from a marlin model 36A flat bolt with the old style rifling.
Another good one cookie!!
edstimator1 - Thanks for taking time to post comment...Good 2018 to ya, FC Steve
This is like Lay's potato chips you can't stop at just one I didn't think you were done with this
TR - Right on, TR - my intention is to get a substantial body of evidence whereby good valid conclusions can be made....Happy New Year to ya...FC Steve
Them wad cutters look great. Them things are screaming accuracy.
Farmer Dude357 - I've already shot some of those in 44 cal from Matt's Bullets - they were near one hole groups as I recall, so I'm looking forward to shooting these and adding the data to the PC vs traditional database. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy New Year....woke up to 11 deg BELOW!
gman77gas - That's balmy for Wisconsin in the dead of winter I hear..!! Warmth to ya, Gary - Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Thanks For the Great Info FC 45 Happy New Year 2018😎😊👩🏻💼
Chris Chiampo - Thanks for posting comment, Chris - and Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Happy new year from Maryland. Thanks for the "Casting 101" classes. I enjoy all your videos. Question. I pure lead ingots. What is the formula to obtain bhn 15 with pure lead?
Alejandro Mendoze - That's a tough question - You can get to BHN 15 in many ways...Check out the Lead Hardness Calculator from Cast Boolits - it's a free download and you can plug in any alloy you have (for example RotoMetals SuperHard alloy 70% lead 30% antimony; or Linotype 84% lead 12% antimony 4% tin) start with a number of pounds of your pure lead, then enter a number of pounds of one and it automatically tells you how much of the other to add to get your BHN 15. Makes it easy as grease off a log... However, you should keep some of that pure lead on hand for making shotgun slugs or black powder shooting. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
you have to fill the holes in the lube die where the lube groove doesn't exist right? how do you do that?
HI FC. I am new at casting. I was wondering do I have to add anything to the lead before I cast. Strong bar??? Thanks
I have a LEE Mold (p/n 90356, 452-252 SWC). I also have a Lyman Lube Sizer with heater. I want to get the Lyman sizing die 2766516. Now, I need to get a Lyman top punch. What number Lyman top punch do you recommend for my LEE mold? Please advise.
Happy New Year FortuneCookie45LC Cheers for The Hot Lead Zone
blackarcher1000 - And I appreciate all the viewers such as you...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
That nut is not seated well enough (screwed in), nor does it look straight. Mine screws down tight. I still use the wrench that came with the unit.
what wrench?? mine didn't come with any! Also my nut doesn't screws down all the way either, but it's tight.
anselb2000 Thanks for your comment.... The nut did look a little off, but it is secure. The die inside is not crooked though as the bullets size square, the machine works well so I'm not looking for complaints. That wrench in the beginning of the video was the one that came with my Lyman 450 sizer lubricator - long since defunct. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
FortuneCookie45LC e
Happy new year Steve those are my favorite two bullets also I comment on the video on reloading the 454 casull let me know when you get a chance I don’t know if you get the messages or not thanks
ocean 374 - I'll answer everything that Google posts in my inbox (includes all PMs)...or everything I run into on videos. Most of what video comments come in get posted in my inbox for me to pick up and answer. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Can you do .58 minie for Springfields?
Do you have to add anything range scrap when casting??? Since it already has stuff added when it was 1st purchased.
Abe Lincoln - For target shooting or cowboy action, nothing needs to be added at all. Just use range scrap straight up. And if shooting magnums, add a pound of linotype to two pounds of range scrap, we're good to go... Good shootin' to ya, FC
Question: If you get lube on the base of the bullet and end up loading it that way, what affect does that lube have on powder performance in that bullet??
Abdullah Mikail - Neat question (pun? - you bet). :) ;) ;) Powder getting stuck onto bullet lube affects the ignition...some grains may not burn at all, plus lots of smoke generated. Big mess also. In hot weather, the lube will melt and gum up the powder charge - ammo is toast - primer may not even fire. In the past, extra lubrication waxy wads were cut into the case mouth and the bullet seated - that was the throes of the black powder days. For smokeless, we can use fillers, but the best policy on bullet bases is clean bullet bases. Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
Do you ever adjust the depth stop? Or always go by eye?
Dominic Minischetti - If by eye, that would be too tedious. Once one gets into these types of lubrisizers, a feel of the handle and handle position tells you that you are there...much faster than using the eye. And that actually works very consistently so that using the stops is just not necessary. I recall that when I first got the unit, I adjusted the stops, but that got tiring in a hurry...Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
I am learning a lot from your videos. Question though, I bought my cast bullets recently and unlike yours about a third of mine have about half of the lube missing from each of the lube grooves. Is it okay to load these or should I apply additional lube, if so what is the best way? I do not have a lubAMatic sizer though I wish I did. Happy New Year
I need to get that device. Pan lubing su...kcs :(
Not a good idea using a metal object to push the bullet die in or out of the sizer. I use a small wood block that can’t cause any damage to the die or sizer.
Bacon - - Good for m..... hunting ?
Johnny Petersen - You can certainly catch a lot of stuff with bacon..!! Happy 2018 to ya..!! FC Steve
