I just buy carnuba red from White Label Lube. Great stuff and already made and a reasonable price.

I've pan lubed for years, a bit slow but all I have is time. I made a cake cutter out of an old cartridge case. When the bullets are out of the pan I refill the holes with another batch of bullets...

I don't know if it's best or even close but I use Lars Carnauba Red for my .38 special and .357.
I have no idea when primers will be available. When the cartridge companies can slow down making 9MM ammo maybe? In the mean time I have lots of 12 gauge trap loads.

That's the way farmers are in all areas of this great country.
Happened in my local shooting shop Wednesday and now am the proud owner of 2 pounds of Unique powder. His powder was a little picked over. I went in for 2400 and he was out but he had some Herco,...
I use Hornady, Lyman and Dillon, they are all good and I don't have a favorite. I live in Nebraska so I slip into their bullet making plant in Grand Island and they give me a tour now and then. ...
I'm short on primers and found some really old Winchester small rifle primers in the shed, loaded them in a .38 special case with 5 grains Unique and a 150 cast bullet. Shot fine,

Our old separator had a stainless bowl, no a cast iron would have been a little over kill.

You'll like retirement! I did it 20 years ago and never looked back. I got a little bored 4 years ago and took a summer job with Game and Parks mowing their campsites at a local lake. There is...

My Hornady .35 caliber checks will pull off if you pull a bullet and I have never found one still on the bullet that I dig out of the berm.

I've been using some small rifle primers in my .38 special loads. Seems to work fine,
EDIT: I forgot, SPP and SRP are the same size, I believe that LPP and LRP are not. My bad.

I don't have many primers, do have a fair amount of loaded ammo so I just put the revolver and rifles up and save what I have. I broke out the old Ithaca 37 12 gauge and my Trius One Step. I can...
Rich, my Grandson shot trap when he was in high school. Saved up his summer wages and bought a real nice Browning BT100 used.
It can be set to either eject or extract and had a bushel of choke...

I'm really low on primers but not a big deal. I put the revolver and rifles away and went back to shooting blue rock. Don't reload shot shells but they can be bought anywhere. It doesn't take much...

I use Carnauba Red for my revolver bullets. I pan lube and it works nice in the summer here but the winter it is a bugger to cut the bullet out of the lube in my unheated shop.

I had a large jug of 45-45-10 and put it up on the top shelf in the garage/reloading room. Somehow I managed to knock it off and the lid flew off when it hit the floor. I assure you that I never...
Let us know how you like the bullet. Many really dislike that bullet but I've got a 2 holler and I get along with the bullet pretty good. Folks over on "The Art and Science of Casting Bullets" talk...

I've quit shooting for a while. Primers are my major hold up. I just switch over to the shotgun as shotshells seem plentiful, I don't reload them anymore. I do grab the S&W once in a while with...
I've always had friendly response from Hornady. If you ever get to Grand Island, Ne., stop in and they will give you a tour. Well worth your time.

I don't have the skill with one that I would like but I can redo the edge with one.
I have an old manual out in the shed that calls 6 grains a +P.
