Funny, My RCBS pro melt has never dripped in 11 years, and I do nothing more than clean it every few years.

For removing the partial primer strip, all that is needed is to lower the handle so that the ram raises about a 1/4 inch and pull the primer strip out from the back side, ( direction of normal travel)

This year has been really hot. It's hard to hunt when it is 95 degrees out.

All the loads stated will do the job. I would lean to the lyman GC because of not knowing the alloy used for the HP

I use a lot of the Unique standard 8.5 grains level loads. But I also have a higher performance load that I really am fond of. It consist of VVN110, under a 260 to 285 grain LFNgc in Starline brass...

Same for me. Lead is not the danger, it's the politicians.

CA doesn't have to get your money directly. Go to the store and buy some produce, almonds, rice ect. And you will be paying your money indirectly to CA. As well as multiple other products. As the...

44man . I agree with a lot of what you say and also disagree with a fair amount. On the subject of our politicians and the lead ban. The politicians stick their nose into everything and anything that...

A thicker standard steel works very good as It helps conduct and retain heat. Cold rolled steel pipe with the end sealed with a welded plate is what I use. For A heat source and stand I bought a...
This particular mold will not get used or shot a lot as the RNFP will be my main plinker. It is the only mold with a short enough nose length and is a 4 cavity. it sees considerable use in my other...
Getting ready to order a new mold for my 45 colt addiction. I have plenty of molds and want one more to fill a perceived need. I have a 255 RNFP SAECO mold that does great service but want a LBT Long...
The Hogues work well for me for the big N frame Smith. But I really like nice wood.

I only have one Star, I would never give it up. Contact Lathesmith and order your sizing dies. At the same time order your punches and locking jam nuts. Make change over a breeze.

I can feel your pain literally! I was moveing a new star luber this summer when I dropped it. Instead of letting it hit the pavement, I put my leg out to cushion the fall and it hit my shin. The 1...

Today I got off my rear and turned 400 lbs of lino bars into ingots. Took about 2 hrs. Been meaning to get this done for about 6 months.
My first LBT mold was for my 1911 addiction, I was just starting to cast but had shot mostly cast bullets from my autos. I asked Veral what he recomended, ( the 220 to 230 grain LFN ) and went with...
