As the hotrodders say "if more is better then entirely too much is just right". I bought a pair of cheap PID and put them in a box. I can plug the pot into one and a hotplate into the other. The...

The controller on my rcbs pro-melt had at least a 50 degree dead band. RCBS told me that was normal and they do not warranty electric components anyway. So I turn it full on and use PID. These...

I have had a promelt since about 1980.....it was originally ohio thermal and bought out by rcbs. It still works (the first one smoked out of the box....Mary Cabella handled the return). I have been...
I have the Kahr PM40 and K40 as well as the shield 40. Of those, I like the K40 the best. I am old and starting to get some serious arthritis in the hand and find the PM40 tiring to shoot as much as...

I bought some "Target" but haven't worked with it yet. The claim was a burning rate between BE and tightgroup. It is claimed to be cleaner and easier to meter than BE. For a while it was on sale at...

I saw that dovetail and wondered if somewhere, there's a octagonal barreled snubnose.

I have found that out myself, also with a promelt. I don't blame the pot. What I think happens is the part of the pot melts and heaves or floats up the valve rod. I usually shut off when about half...
I shot my first chrony, an accident but I was pretty frustrated with its finicky nature with lighting. I added lights to my newer chrony and found it to be very reliable even with airgun pellets but...

The "30-06" throws me. Otherwise I agree with it being a swager. It looks like enormous force could be developed and the die lead and punch do look like a j-type swaging press.

I got the 1:14 off the web site but that could be vapor ware. I can measure mine if there is concern. I agree that I do not feel the need for a flock of molds as one can be loaded mild for training...

I have to say, I was terrified for my country at the prospect of Hilary/Soros staffing the supreme court. I truly considered that the end of Liberty.

I see my head is well up kazoo.....Obviously, I am fixated on the 9.3X74R.....I am sorry to waste everyone's time. I know nothing about the 9.3X72R
9.3X72R is still current. Blaser and others...

Just buy privy ammo it is good ammo and good brass. Grafs is currently out of stock on the brass but they can sell Hornady brass for twice the price. Privi ammo is available several places including...

graf if it is bulky or heavy.....the shipping usually makes up the price difference. Often Amazon prime will be free shipping but I suspect I am supporting anti-gun people.
