    Just wanted to put this somewhere, it's possible that it has been discussed in other threads but this thread talked about the Lee 38 S&W expander plug so it makes sense here I think. A friend of mine...

    I have been using the powder and I can't see any reason to stop. As far as it sitting around, I don't see much reason to let it sit around, but with that said, whenever I...
