Darn. I just looked at the original question about a Lee product and didn't see where he asked for a comparison with Dillon. Guess he just wanted to know about factory improvements on the current...

Bigdog's tumblers seem first-rate, but they may not be the ticket for someone looking for a budget solution...

I'll keep this in mind for the future. Just had my first Lee pot issue after years of happy use -- some sort of slag or clinker forcing the bottom pour to keep pouring! I've tried the usual...

I've never had a defective Lee die of any sort. I'm not married to them, but they work as expected and a few of their ideas, like the powder-through dies, are real innovations.

Full stokes are important on the Lee Classic Turret. I've caught myself double-clutching that handle on the flare/charge die and it double-charged that case so fast I couldn't figure out how it...

I've got Lee, RCBS and Hornady dies. I've found most of the Lee dies to work well, and I especially like the powder-through expander dies. I will usually mix die brands on my turret heads to get the...

Every one of us divorced casters needs a short bus to take to the range. With a big inverter to run power to a lead pot in back! There would be plenty of room for a loading bench too...

Now that sounds interesting. I have some old 50/50 moly grease and beeswax lube around here somewhere. If I mixed it in equal parts with some NRA lube hiding on the same shelf, then added a smidge of...

For my money, Lee's Classic Cast and CC Turret presses are second to none. Even their cheap Reloader press is rigid as heck and cheap enough to buy as a base for their sizing kits or universal...

The instructions could stand improvement. That said, I have to admit that the initial problems I had with the Safety Prime were my fault. Once I slowed down and took five minutes to look up better...

Seems to me that everybody is looking for the same thing: the simplest process for coating and sizing for us DIY types. And it sounds like we're getting there. Thanks to all for some significant...

You can buy micrometers at HF too!

The ones I got for under five bucks are item 98851 six-inch digital caliper. The coupon was in a direct mail flyer, not a store flyer. The caliper is a little odd because it will do metric, inches...

I've tried several of the HF calipers -- the most recent is labelled "Cen-Tech." I bought a couple of those because the coupon special was $4.95! And all of them have been spot on. My only complaint...

The Lee stuff is more than adequate. My eyes are getting older so I found setting up the tenths end of the Lee scale annoying, but it is as accurate as my RCBS 505. And my Lee powder measure has been...

Don't see why not. You could run the press single-stage to size and decap as many cases as you have available, then swap out that die for the bullet feed die. I think it makes sense to use the first...

That would make it difficult because the boolits still need to be grounded. Maybe a piece of sheet metal drilled at intervals would work. Matching the shape of the nose to an appropriate diameter...

The toaster oven suggestion is brilliant. That pretty much clinches it: I will try this out soon. Both the hot-dipping and powder gun methods have advantages, but the dip method keeps the investment...

Has anybody tried curing the poly powder-coat with infrared lamps? Seems like it would work, and a lot cheaper than buying another oven. And if Rick459's experiment works out, it could be simpler...

Isn't it interesting how the value of everything has become directly related to their accessibility on the internet? Good Lord, how I hate the 21st century!

Thanks for continuing to report, Wildcat. Been following this thread for a while and your results suggest that you are on the right track. No leading plus less barrel wear plus cast boolit cost with...

If you do like the nitrile-coated fabric gloves, Dollar Tree has them for a buck.

Do those arbor press dies from Wilson or Sinclair do a FL size? You're going to have a mallet for the Lee set. Maybe you can add a full-length sizer to the Lee set without going crazy. I get the...

I use latex or vinyl gloves a lot while reloading. Keeps skin oil off primers and lubes in their place. For casting I do the whole nine yards -- face shield, welders gloves, leather apron and long...

I have an RCBS 505 and a cheap digital. I use the calibration weight that came with the digital several times per session and double-check with the 505 too. The digital is accurate but sensitive to...
