Did all the brass weigh the same? I stopped sorting by headstamp and sort by weight and get better results.

Great idea Charlie i needed something like this. Just ordered one. :D

I like my 550 and can produce more than enough ammo in a couple of evenings than I could possibly shoot in a weekend. Good enough for me.

Geuss you didn't catch the fan part.

That sounds like a win win for all parties involved. :-P

My Apple computer is infected and I need to let the Apple agent fix it, but they can't tell me what's wrong unless I give them access to my computer, problem is I don't have anything made by Apple....

This is my shadow and would be lost without her. The amount I have paid in vet bills is small in comparison to what she has given me in return.https://i.imgur.com/WwbcjJ2m.jpg

Just downloaded it a few days ago, still comparing the data GRT vs a couple of manuals. So far just playing with bullets, powder, and charge weights, need to start adding more parameters into the...

It was raining yesterday so off to the garage to coat these Lee 225-55-RF https://i.imgur.com/pamVuvT.jpg

My guns don't know if the bullet matte finish or gloss. With a matte finish after sizing the drive bands look like a gloss finish.

At least my hankerchief is two layers.

I think you made a good buy, takes casting your bullets up a notch. :)

I bought mine 35 years ago, and I don't lend it out. Still works great, made in the USA of course.

Doc can't help with yellow but I do have a bottle of HF red you can have. No shipping charges since you are in the same town.

I've used eastwoods clear and it is easy to see if your boolits are coated when applying the powder. After coating and baking they look like they have a lacquer finish.

I use COWW + a touch of tin if needed air cooled after PCing which gives me a BHN range of 12 to 14.

I leave an inch or so then turn the pot off. Makes it easy to change alloys if needed at the next casting session.

The "paper clip" should be adjusted to hold the case in the shell plate with little tension, also the die might need to be adjusted. IMO

If you follow the directions for the PC cook times and quench after pc'ing your bhn will increase.

Here is a vid on how to install a TC on the bottom of a Lee pot.

It was a 356-115 grn. plated bullet, it now weighs 111.5 grn. looks like normal thin wash plating, at first I thought it had been crimped but it shows no sign of a crimp.

I picked this up off the range. https://i.imgur.com/D3zaljU.jpg

I bought the spare parts kit for my dillon when I purchased the press. Haven't needed to use any yet, maybe some day. Comparing a single stage press against a progressive is an apple to oranges...

Zink boolits do not require coating or lube. Same as a j-word.
