I use dawn or simple green, with a touch of lemon shine. Use the hottest tap water. Never had any problems. Use cold water to rinse off with then put them in a dehydrator on racks to dry. Works...

I use LEE 230 truncated cast bullets in my SW M&P 45 with 5.2gr of bullseye. Works great. You either have to strong of a spring, or weak loads. If you have tried factory loads and they don't cycle...

Make sure it's pure lead with no fillers. If it's good then buy as much of it as you can. You can never have to much lead.

Second on the small base dies. I run the problem brass thru my RCBS small base die. This will solve my problem 9/10 times. 1/10 brass I just save to make 30 cal bullets. Hope this helps.

It's a toss up between wolf and Stagg for me. Stagg chili is more available where I live so I go with it. Both verities with beans and no beans are tasty and chunks of meat. Great chill to eat alone...
300 Blackout!! Super or sub. Pistol or rifle. Tons of bullets, easy to cast. Easy to make brass. So versatile. Just my option. [emoji1]

Sweet set up! Wish I had it. I definitely will find some bins. I'm using old powder bottles for my bullets.

I've got a lock-in-load, rock chucker, & walnut hill. Love the lock-in-load. It really cruises.

Thanks, I just do it for pistol. Not for rifle. I should have clarified it. I can see your point. That would be bad with a case that blows up. I use a torch for the rifle.

Impact bullet puller hammer inserts. They hold the brass end allowing the bullet to come out.

I use my daughters permanent markers to color the bottom of case then, put in an ammo box. Also keep a note book with the colors and notes. A wipe with alcohol will take marker off.

This may sound redneck of me but, I just put my brass on a cookie sheet in the oven on a cleaning cycle and it anneals the brass. I then tumble in SS media and put in oven at lowest temp for 5-10...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I agree with ArrowJ. I use Stainless Steel media, dawn soap, and a lemon shine cleaner. Works great to get a true clean. I use carb cleaner on the dies to degrease then run paper towels through. Hope...

I just built one with a 16" barrel and I love it!! Shoots great and is perfect if you reload. It loves heavy cast bullets and there is a ton of different rounds you can load into in. Supersonic or...

Heat it up hotter and flux it. I use bee's wax and it it works great. I stir it slowly once wax has gone brown. This will keep from making a flare up. Cleans up lead nicely with out the burning...
I don't shoot 9mm but use 9mm brass and swedge into 185gr 40sw. I get about 50lbs of lead for $20 and use bullseye powder. I load it at 5grs. Shoots great and clean. I'm at .06 for primer & powders....

I only roll crimp now. I've had the same problem. I can only use the shell once but I find plenty at the firing range. I use a price of PCV pipe to put the shell into and fit to size. Works...

I like the 30-30, it's easy to cast bullets for it and you can get a gun about any where at a reasonable price. Accuracy is good with a hex barrel. I grew up with then and there easy to maintain. ...
