That is the easiest drop of any mold I have EVER cast with!!! Sticking every now and then, but I am waiting judgment until its been through several sessions. Amazing. Side note, what is safe to...

They are using double torches. If you can heat the neck and shoulder up quick enough, and let it cool off, then great. If you slowly heat that same area, I think you'll see different results, ie. ...
Give the man the data, and you risk error in communication. Give the man the link, he can now infer his own judgment. And come back with more to learn than which powder, something no one can say...

Anybody chambered 22 TCM in a rifle? Seems like that would be neat. But I'd probably make a "22 Practical" and take 9 necked down to 22 for brass availability...

While I love the Remingtons I have, the 1911-s, revolvers, and shotguns that I've seen as of late have had poor finishing. This tells me that it is indicative of the brand now and not just a line......
So long as it stays away from ammunition and primers!!!!!!! I run it down barrels too, but not on any weapons I keep loaded.
Enjoy your RIA and welcome to the 1911 club!! Before you curse the thing and throw it over feeding issues, definitely try multiple mags and quality ones if you can get them. Lookup original GI...

Pick up the Lee Factory Crimp Die when you can, they are relatively inexpensive and ensure everything feeds. It does less sizing than the size die for sure and has no effects on accuracy for me. ...
