I too have deprimed many live primers. It's probably not the safest but I have never had any trouble. You could always soak them before depriming if you were concerned about that. I always make a...

It is versatile as long as you have the time to melt it, clean it up and use it accordingly.

The best part about it though by far is the price....can't usually argue with it.

What would it hurt? It already looks pretty rough

Thanks for sharing! Good info here.

Many guys here say that God put lead on the earth for bullets.

Many blackpowder shooters say that God provided vegetal seeds on the earth for making ballistol.

It is a diverse oil that does a...

My personal view is that LS are great for archery. The recoil pads work. The barrel "deresonator" is a gimick

I have had similar experiences as you describe. I bent a decapping rod/expander ball assembly in a 30 cal die not long ago. Replaced it free of charge, including shipping with no questions asked. ...

I echo the log splitter. Makes quick work of the bigger stuff

The ones I have are crisp and light enough. Not too shabby for a factory rifle

I think that powder is fairly stable. The main issue with heating/cooling cycle is likely condensation that could result with big swings in temperature in certain parts of the country even if it's...

I am in the process of moving into a new house and completely unfinished basement. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

It depends on what you want to do. Sinclair makes a great one but it is not designed for high volume.

Wow! You guys are impressive.

I do alot of competitive shooting. If I am shooting for score I typically weigh each bullet. I sort them from lightest to heaviest in sequential order. I will save them all but the ones that weigh...

I use propane also, but in the form of a propane burner on a deep fryer. I get much better coverage than with the torch. I would imagine you can get it too hot but I usually try to use common sense...

I cast a lot of bigger bullets between 400-550 grains. I have a couple of 6 gang 50 cal moulds. The trick we have found is to ladle pour them and run the pot around 850. I use a propane burner...

For me it depends which type of bullet I am casting. I cast primarily boolits for blackpowder rifles from .50-69 cal. I have several gang moulds but mostly single cavity because the bullets are...

I saw the salt shooter not long ago and I wonder how salt would do as a projectile in a "pseudoshotshell" load? Course salt for the range or fine salt for the coverage? :D

What would it do to the...

I can attest to this. Cutting 75-125 pigs is made easy by a gas powered splitter. The best part is that there is no waste from filings.

I have two Redding T7 presses that I use primarily but I also have a couple of other presses that I use for odds and ends. It all depends on what kind of volume you are doing but if it were me, I...

I will use it as long as it fits decently tight UNLESS I am doing something like forming cases (necking up or down) that requires a good deal of pressure/stress on the rim. If that's the case, I am...

Typically your miniballs will be soft (most guys shoot as close to pure as possible) as a general rule. The TC bullets in the tube will probably be a touch harder. Most commercial roundballs are...

Interesting! Back in the early 90's we had the opportunity to purchase in bulk 75lb pigs of lead from reclaimed batteries from the exide corporation. It came with an analysis and was as close to...

I have pickle buckets that have smelled like pickles for years. I have used them for all sorts of stuff and never had any trouble. I would be surprised if it corroded the brass as long as you...

Hopefully I can land one of the "new" CMP garands to go with my Korean war garand. My son will hopefully appreciate it in 20 years.
