    Default Info and wants

    Looking for the 1980's Lyman mold 454626, 2 part mold for .45 cal.

    Also, in the last 20 years I have heard of and over two sides to the question on room and powder temp for reloading. One side says always load in the hottest room you can stand, other side says makes no difference in powder density. Any one have any data on this?

    Default powder temp

    accurate arms reload book has a good thesis written on this subject they deal with single base vs double base powders long term storage , humidity , temp really worth reading. i am sure that the army did a study on this also.
