I got hooked on using primed brass when a friend asked me to load his new primed brass because it was seizing on the expanding die on his LEE press
I removed the decapping pin and went through 1000...

I got the CH press for nothing and I have spent a whole $25 to convert it to small primers.
I had a MK5 and it was junk, the priming system on the MK3 Is totally different and better!

My 1050 are from the late 80s and are chrome plated, one is the first one I ever operated at a friend’s house and the other is the first one that I bought shortly afterwards.
I had 3 of them at one...

The 1050 has a good priming system and if I had processed brass I would use the priming system but I don’t have access to a brass processor so this is the next best thing!

I have to pull bullets if the case is cracked or has the “Glock Bulge”
I run my primed brass through a case gauge before expanding, dropping powder and seating a bullet.

I load a few 9mm on my Dillon 1050 for practice ammunition.

I have converted Lyman, SAECO and RCBS for my automatic machines and most recently my Master Caster.
Lyman and RCBS are soft, SAECO and H&G are the best.
Magma used SAECO when they started making...

I understand that you don’t want to shoot 44 Special brass out of your 44 Mag but it is no different than shooting 38s in a 357.
44 Special is less available now than it was in the early 80s when I...

Where is my brass?
I paid you on 3/25!

A small cracker box like that will have short light leads because of the low amperage.
The little Craftsman welder has left gut leads like the whip on a conventional welder and a her are attached to...

I have a Circuit Judge that would do the same thing!
I disassembled it and didn’t find anything either but it hasn’t done it any more!

I recently bought a Gen 5 Glock 47 MOS for a duty gun to replace my Glock 17 so I can put an optical sight on it.
I like to put a couple hundred rounds through a carry gun to make any problems show...

The big ingots are plus metal, it was used to bring Linotype back to spec after being remelted numerous times.

For small batches I use one of my LEE 4 hole turret presses!
I have turrets set up for calibers that I don’t load much ammunition for.
