I'd don't know how long it took you to setup the die, but that boolit looks clean. There was a time I'd sell them to locals and I'd keep a rag handy. It was always near the nose that would get a...

See the picture from magma re. Distance . That image comes from their manual for your sizer.
Basically, insert a bullet in the Die such that the lube groove line up with the row of sizer holes you...

Yeah, my nut is smaller. I think you should measure distance and then compare. apologies f you already did this. This thread has a lot of good info . I didn't have the time at the moment to focus on...

Though I was thoroughly perturbed in the first go around, I'll let that go for a tip. Though I think bosterr mentioned it, make sure you don't have only the bottom most lube holes open in the Die....

This is very bizarre. The circumstances sledgehammer went through are pretty much identical to mine.
I decided to upgrade the membership(pay more) . So, I elected for Patron. As you'll see in the...

Out of a carbine and rifle, so not sure the impact of additional length on stability rel to a pistol length, but I think my BHA is 1/24"

Reminded to come back to CB with the funding drive email. Nice to see this thread. Hadn't run my master caster--with the Hatch panel--in well over a year. Reading about your progress inspired me to...

1st time order with Lathesmith. Shockingly fast delivery time and true to size. I needed to ensure I didn't go over size and made a special request. He exceeded my expectations. Though I'm supportive...

Forum: Swaging
I had written Brian (BTSniper) follow up questions regarding this 500 Swage kit. I was ready to purchase this set. Duke, Brian, or anyone else using this ACP brass to form 500 bullets, are you...
Forum: Swaging
Years ago for you, but thanks for the reviews and detailed steps for swaging the 500 out of 45ACP brass, via BTSniper dies. I reached out to him before reading your post.
He responded to my PM...

Once the mold is heated, I always get good looking boolits. For me, more consistent than by hand. I sometimes get unacceptable weight variation but that's only when I use wheel weight Ingot alloy-- I...

I sold my Chargemaster when I transitioned to a progressive press. The RCBS Chargemaster wasn't the champ out of the box(compared to the Lyman DSPIII I had at the time)

The tone of the reply is toxic. Threatening to discredit them if you don't get what you want is not the best strategy. You may need assistance from them in the future apart from the fact that people...

A tough read--glad you're ok. Bumping for the reminder. ...Pay the caution forward to other areas of life
Very sorry to hear about the injury. Make sure you're treated properly. I use the RCBS bench mount when I use the single stage. In hindsight, it doesn't over exert with the specific primer...

Youre definitely right about expurrmejting with the positioning of the tierod on the pulley . I don't work a huge amt of hrs but travel . Along with household chores it limits time for stuff like...

Though I only recognize some of the terms you mentioned, I really didn't think motor specs mattered. As a starting point, I think it's ok to assume that I have hooked up this motor correctly ....
Forum: The Star Equipment Corner
Good point. I used what I believe is a pulley that would be used for a swamp cooler. It, is well ss most other parts were bought at the local hardware store. Which makes it convenient, though not...
