What none of the published manuals can deliver on is if the loads will be accurate from your rifle or pistol, they are just safe loads. There is so much more to reloading than load recipes. Anyone...

I can tell the difference when used in HV rifle at ranges beyond 200 yards. I sort my CB's prior to coating and stand them up for baking after coating using an ESPC gun. YMMV but I spend the...

Without immigrants NASA would need a trampoline to get astronauts to the ISS. Hardly any major inventions have been made by native born americans. Come to think of it, most americans are immigrants...

Along with giving up on WW’s as a source of alloy the excitement when a round pops cured me from mining berms. I’ll pay for good alloy, usually ISOcore, as the effort to process dubious scrap quality...

The PC is not what failed as it is no substitute for GC’s. I regularly shoot GC’d and PC’d rifle loads in that velocity range with 1moa or less from my rifles. PC is not a cure_all as many folks...

I'm watching with interest. Just went and counted presses, 4 ProJector and 2 Pro7 presses in the herd. They don't "need" to be updated but who knows. Some of my presses on the storage mounts:

As we get older and more broken down easier tools to use become indispensabile. Personally, the first to go was hand priming using the Lee hand primer which was replaced with a RCBS bench primer....

I second getting powder from Smoke as what he sells will work with shake-n-bake. I own a custom coating business and have access to many powder choices but recommend that folks that want to start get...

I have been loading and shooting 7.62x40WT & 300HAM’R in MSR’s with barrels from Wilson Combat. I switched out all except one of my 300BO as I don’t do subsonic and the round is a little anemic for...

Got tired of storing the bullet and case comparator pieces so I fired up Fusion360 and designed and then printed these. There are stubs inside the pieces which keep them in place even when the...

I use 33gn of 4759 under the Lee 450gn. I PC this plain base CB and size to .459” and with my M77 Ruger it is a pleasant to shoot rifle and very accurate combination. Small buck, 220yards measured,...

I have modified a fair number of the plates to add the groove required for the EZ-ject sub plate as found in the later AP presses. Tough metal and I found that using a 1/4” carbide endmill in the...

As Moleman pointed out you would need to purchase a number of additional pieces as well as be able to modify parts of the press. I have thought of what you want to do in the past but chose to keep...

John Deere green or clear.

Never been interested in trophies on the wall but love the hunt and eating well. This past opening weekend took this small buck with my trusted 458Win using a Lee 450gn. 220yards and dropped right...

The way I solved this is to order custom size molds from Accurate which accommodates the added diameter size that PC creates. I know that sizing the nose works but unless much care is taken accuracy...

Short answer is no. I own a custom coating business and have access to a fair selection of powders and I have tried to figure this out but without the MDS it is a guess at best. Personally I prefer...

Yes, there are a number of powder types. Polyester, urethane and epoxy are quite common. There are hybrids as well depending upon the use requirement. This is quite a complex subject and worth the...

I have had all of the major presses but standardized on Hornady for the most part. As I prefer to set up a press in a single caliber I currently own a mix of 18 progressives which include the Pro7,...

Yep, the Lee trimmers do appear to shrink over time, but very slowly. Personally, I won’t lose sleep over such a minor change in a bottle necked case. I understand the need for economy and even...

I store my Tempilaq along with bulk cyanoacrylate in my beer fridge, which is set to the proper temperature that will freeze sodas. I have done random tests and the 5 yo CA glue and the Tempilaq...

Here is a chart that will give some ideas of the different kinds of PC powders.

Have to ask, was the 400* verified/ calibrated? Also, what type of PC was used?

I do specialized & custom powder coating and there are different base types of PC. These can behave quite...

I work in the packaging manufacturing industry with the majority of our product being used by produce companies that package their product into consumer and bulk packaging. Think Full color Apple,...

Not the Ruger rifle but my Mossberg predator in 450BM won’t feed the large meplat CB’s. Had Tom at Accurate cut me a mold that throws the 45-280D and the 45-300J. These were cut without the GC heel...
