Due to heavily reduced imports of US made primers (thank you Mr. Obama !) we hardly can buy decent amounts of primers (like powders & bullets). And if so at huge prices.

You can buy (import) Lee, Lyman, Saeco bullet molds in Italy via: Smartreloader Italy (www.Primarmi.biz). They are the prime importer of reloading equipment in Europe and they happen to be in Italy...

So apparently I'm not the only one that tells to tumble at a low or modest rate/speed. The ceramic media does work, but you can buy ceramic media in all sorts of grades and sizes (just like steel...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Okay here is a picture of the steel media that I use. On the left are "large" satellites (3,3mm x 2,8mm) I use these for hard/tough cleaning jobs and they clean the "large" primer pockets as well...

This happens with “every kind” of tumbling and/or media combination. Especially when you filled up the drum up to the max. It’s a combination of to much media- to much brass- to long tumbling and/or...

I still feel lucky to find this source of lead. Now I even have renewed my casting set up in my basement. I do cast about 800 to 1200 bullets a week and selling them to others at the gun range. Plus...

I have a Pact one for many years now (over 12 years) and last year I broke the display (something heavy did fall on it). I contacted them and they send me the BOM-list (= Bill of Materials list). I...

The scrap yard owner does not only has this regular (soft) lead, he also has Linotype (letter lead), Tin, Antimony and a lead melting (fluxing) oven that throws out 30kilogram lead bars (clean, pure...

I took exactly 500 kilograms with me, a bit more and the cars suspension would fail.;)

Yep, since this week I have live time supply of lead.
Last week I had a meeting with some antique gun collectors. Most of us complained about the increase of lead prices and that it was harder to...

I need a mould for a .650 or .670 round ball. I have an old antique Pattern 1853 Enfield East India Company Sadle Carbine. That has a muzzle diameter or 17mm (.670") but I can also use a .650 ball...

You need this entire set up, it's either for large or small primers. I have an old (1st model) RCBS Ammo-Master. It still goes strong. Recently I ordered some spare parts via Huntington's and...

We are goning to add some tin to it and hope that they don't test our bullets at the next competittion. Do note the government sometimes take samples from you out in the field and shooting ranges....

bslm, local (Dutch) SASS regulations are a quit bit different over here. Thanks to our "ultra left wing anti gun" government. Our government is becomming pretty anal about home casting bullets. They...

A friend of mine has a peculiar bullet sizing problem with his .44-40 (.427") bullet sizer. We have tried to figure it out what the cause is but were not successful yet.

Okay there are a lot of unknows about sonic cleaners within the reloading community. To start with: I do work with sonic cleaners, tumblers (rotating and vibrating) and chemical cleaners on a daily...

I’m not 100% exactly sure what has happened, but it looks like there was a modest chemical reaction caused by the polishing media and the case surface. Most likely there was some kind of wax,...

I use VV powders primairly, because the Amercian powders cost about twice as much as the VV powders do over here. It's just the other way around. There is a VV powder for every reloading job. I...
