The RCBS one can be factory repaired when it wear out. Cost about $80 I think. No other one that I know of can be factory fixed.

You clearly have an anger management problem.
Redding, incidentally, offered a full refund here and that offer was rejected.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I've never seen Redding make a bad product. The last four cavity mould I bought from them came within the last month and it is, as always, perfect.
I've been thinking a lot about this and I just...

Just saw your questions. When was that Handbook printed?
Alas that piece was written decades ago and I just don't remember much about it. Sorry but I can not be of any real help.

RCBS is doing this again. I asked when they started back up but no one seemed to know. I also asked about exactly what you could have made. Got a blank there as well. But they are doing some.

I've tried but I've had a life long skin problem which they make worse in short order.

Never heard of these. Have you asked this question at:

I have never done much business with the Ammo Place. Probably haven't been in their store in three or four years. Just didn't have anything of interest. Of course with Horizona Shooters out of the...

Any scale I've used in the last couple decades wasn't accurate to anything less than one grain. I'm not even sure that they are accurate to within a grain. So I think the weight segregration to...

Call SAECO and ask. They are very helpful. Or you could e-mail them but I'd prefer the phone.

Lyman's Handbook has data on the 7.65x53.
Also if you need loading data, the accurate arms web site can supply that for virtually any old gun, even blackpowder rifles.

I had that problem for quite a while months ago. I finally called them and complained. They were nice but unhelpful.
More recently I've been having a similar problem with the Smith Collector's...

Then it clearly is NOT linotype. A eutectic alloy would NOT turn to mush, an apt description incidentally.
There is a way to do an exact chemical analysis using nothing more than a stop watch, a...

Melt up a twenty pound batch. Get the temperature up to about 800 degrees. Pull the plug. Using a casting thermometer take temperature readings at EXACTLY one minute intervals. Plot up these...

I buy a lot of bullet alloy. I usually get it via the post office because of the flat box rate. Now that is going ok but...
I've gotten dozens of boxes, sometimes fifteen at a time. Initially...

Where in northern arizona? I'm in Flagstaff. Flagstaff stores don't carry reloading stuff, period.

In recent years mine has wandered between 16 and 29. 16 doesn't concern me. 29 did. By correlating times at the range and casting sessions with blood lead levels I've become convinced that...

That's an obvious idea that would not have occurred to me. Thanks!
Know the melting point of zinc?
Forum: Our Town
Interesting observation. So you wouldn't suggest remelting any imperfect bullets that had those washers attached?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Over 30.
I have my lead levels tested three to four times a year. What I've found is that shooting can raise lead levels even more than casting in an area that is not well ventilated. Yes I know...

Hawk bullets can make the zinc washers for these old moulds and they have them in stock.

When you get a little older you will not remember the question let alone that you forgot something. Old age ain't for sissy's.
