I have both Lyman and RCBS sizers, and that sure is how they operate, I just assumed the Star would only flow when the handle was pulled, not when the pressure screw was screwed down. I guess I meant...

Just got an old San Diego sizer with a couple dies. $195 shipped, I'm pretty pleased.
So I have a question about when lube should flow, I was cleaning out the old lube and wondering...
If I take...

I took the advice of using an old PC power supply for the project box. A few minutes to gut it and cut out a square for the controller face using a dremel cutoff wheel did the trick. I left the QC...

I bought the kit from the link in post #17, and the seller was great to deal with. I had two questions, and he answered both my emails within an hour, and now I have my Lee 4-20...

one for me please

I can't speak about the French rifle, but I have been pleased with my Saeco 081 for my two k98 Mausers.

My Lyman 225438 mould was a great purchase. Few grains of fast powder and you get a quiet shot with zero kick in 223.

I've found a little 3-in-1 electric motor oil goes a long way in keeping things in my garage running well for years - tumblers, shop-vacs, Dad's old power tools. A bottle is cheap at Lowes.

Does a little bit of play help self-align everything, especially since four or five things need to line up at the same time? I always figured it tops out in the same place every time, so a little...

I've got a 650, 550, and Lee 4 hole. I still use the heck out of the Lee press, fiddling with new loads and bullets is really easy on the Lee.
Pretty much use the 650 only for 9mm, and 550 for...

I'm finding a lot at Sportsman's Warehouse, fair prices too. Compare their prices to a LGS here in Reno I visited yesterday that wanted $48/lb for pistol powder. They must think I'm desperate AND...

MT Chambers mentions it, and I load 22 cast at rimfire velocities - absolutely minimal report and zero recoil. 4.0 grains Blue Dot at around 1200fps with 44 grain Lyman mould. Tons of fun.

I think the 300WM is shell plate B, and 45 Colt is shell plate C?

SCCY CPX-2 most of the time, Glock 30s next in line, Beretta Tomcat for a pocket gun to go really light.

Thanks Gary, I'll bump it up a bit. The Lyman book lists 8.0 - 10.0 gr Unique so I was trying to start low. I've got some room to play.

Thanks, I've only been loading cast in rifle for a few months, really new to lighter charge lower pressure rounds. It was just a bit counterintuitive to see the primers like that given my past...

Thanks, that does make sense. Had time after dinner to take a few measurements. New cases were 1.470" from the datum, a few fired were 1.485", 1.486", 1.488". Looking at SAAMI the specs are...

So, picked up a Win 94 in 32WS, and bought an RCBS 32-170-FN mold for it. Loaded ten rounds using ~8.3gr Unique and WLR primers in brand new Hornady brass. Chrono showed 1264 fps avg ES 40 SD 15....

My first was my Dad's S&W 22 kit revolver. He's gone, but that pistol still keeps us in touch. First one I bought myself was a Beretta 92FS.

Just looked at my notes, 45-270-SAA, Unique, WLP out of Ruger BH 7.5":
8.34gr 931 fps avg
9.04gr 1011 fps avg

I just received a used 38-148-WC in todays mail, have not cast with it yet but looking at the cavities it looks to be beveled. It is definitely not double ended, there is a nose and a tail

I'm still in my earning years, so on a per hour basis it is not worth it financially. I don't do it to save money, and I'm not saving money by buying all these danged moulds here, but the reason I do...

While you're traveling on business you scrounge lead from tire shops, then pack the wheelweights in your checked airline baggage.

It guarantees TSA will search your bag.

I think a great hatchet for the money is Husqvarna, about $40 and it compares well to those made by Wetterlings or Bruks at a fraction of the price. Not perfect out of the box, but then he'll learn...
