$700 really isn't all that much in the long run if you think about it. Look at how much is spent every day on "creature comforts" like cigarettes, dip, beer and cokes. Choose your vice and add it...

I vote for 4 categories, commercial, rimfire, brass case and tubing. Each type has its own pro's and con's and should be displayed individually.

In the Corbin Setup I anneal after derimming, I was popping the ends off if I annealed first. With the newest set I just got from a forum member I anneal first.

There is a whole thread here on him. But I have no problems naming Colt Carpenter of Edge Dies in John Day Oregon as the person who done me wrong.

I would agree with BTSniper on the derimming step. I have two derimmers, one from Corbins and it doesn't like being used when the case has been annealed first. The other was made by someone else,...

After I posted a picture of one of my targets that I shot with rimfire bullets I have received a couple of PMs asking me how I did it. So after thinking about it all day I decided to share it with...

But it was the process that I learnt from a bulletsmith, Cluade, in France that made the...

Ok so after I saw this thread last night, I got stoked and after getting off of a 12 hour shift and getting some much needed shut eye I woke to perfect shooting weather. 65 degrees, no wind and...

I have used my oven to anneal many times. I usually get 95% of them done but it do 30 minutes and stir them and then another 30 minutes.

I am about three hours away to your north. What can I help you with?

Last time I stuck a bullet in the point form die I called the die maker, Corbin's. he told me to screw the die down a little at a time and keep pulling the handle. As counter to belief that my sound...
