One thing I learned the hard way about PC (using the BB's/tumble method) is don't use TOO MUCH POWDER. After first starting out and getting good results, I got carried away with the amount of powder...

If it's that big of a deal, smelt after dark when everyone else is inside and the smoke will not be noticed. I did quite a bit of this last summer, it does stink. Assuming you're discreet, I doubt...

I've had and used my kinetic puller for at least 20 years now. I've used it enough to know that there's a lot of energy involved in getting a bullet to move. What I'm nervous about is the primer...

Not sure where to post this question, wish there was a reloading forum here, this is not a reloading 'equipment' issue.
I have a .357 magnum hand load that did not fire. Out of a box of fifty,...

This is a question for you progressive reloaders, something I've wondered about for a long time. You guys that deprime/resize/prime on your progressive setup and (presumably) skip cleaning the...

My understanding, gained from the Fryxall work From Ingot to Target (chapter 4) is that oxidation of the lead will occur if the top of the melt is exposed to oxygen. To prevent this oxidation you...

I hate to be a contrarian, but I use sawdust in my bottom pour pot exclusively. I've tried bees wax and candle wax, leaving a layer of melted wax on the top surface, but it eventually chars or burns...

On the last primer, I take a small allen wrench and using the short leg, insert the allen wrench into the primer arm channel and push the last primer as far as it will go - it loads fine into the...
