Dishwasher soap never removed lanolin for me while wet tumbling lubed brass, still have to try woolite.
I spray them with brake cleaner and roll them in a towel, that seems to work great.

I have tried the ergo handle on my LnL AP and I did not like it at all and reverted back to the standard ball.
A few months ago I decided to try the roller handle which replaces the ball on my...
Not sure what you mean but if you mean you can use those primers for rifle and pistol, it also says those are SP boxer ie. pistol primers.
They are fine for a low-end .223 load but will start to...

Do enlighten me. Cheaper S&B primers give me the same velocity as more expensive primers and go bang every time. In what regard are more expensive primers, say CCI or Federal better or better...

I have shot 10s of thousands of S&B primers, great primers if you ask me. Not the hardest to seat but not the easiest either, all went bang first time.
That is SP, LP, SR and LR.

I can't say anything bad about Dillon really. Last year I bought an older 650XL from someone which was ridden hard and put away wet.
Some screws in plastic parts were over torqued casing it to split...

Do the cases fit the case gauge after sizing (thus before seating the bullet)?
Also even if they don't fit the case gauge they might just fire fine.
Not sure if a push thru sizer will work...

I have used both the Hornady and the MR bulletfeeder bulletfeeders, the Hornady feeder is finicky to setup and to keep working, the MR one just works.
I could only get the Hornady working properly...
A taper crimp does not hold the bullet in place, that is done by the case neck tension caused by the sizing.
If you can push in a bullet by hand you sizing die is out of spec or not setup correctly.
I am not sure if it is meant that way, but your reply sounds pretty offensive to me.
No one said you should ignore flattened/cratered primers but primer signs are hard to impossible to read, not...

If you still have to buy one, buy the MBF one. The MBF is much easier to setup and works for all bullet "types" (FMJ, plated and lead), my experience with the Hornady is that it works flawless for...

At most I would sort by head stamp but I would not buy brass for pistol cartridges, at least not for accuracy reasons.
I would use a good bullet and try some different powder charges and maybe...

I have used them (SP and LP) and they are reliable and seat easily, can't say anything about the "hardness" of them since my guns set off near anything.

First I tried some local powder (https://www.coating4all.com/) but it did not coat very well using any of the shake/tumbler methods.

S&B headstamped "9mm luger" gets thrown out anyway since it is/used to have a crimped primer pocket.

Have not encountered any steel cases over here yet, S&B or otherwise.
What is the headstamp on the S&B cases?
