I acquired 4 of them altogether, I have broken 2 handles, and had one top break off when seating, I still have 2 spare handles and one spare body, but the lids are looser'n a goose. I acquired a 21st...

Don't remember if I started on shotshells or metallic for sure, they were pretty close together anyway. Metallic was so I could use partitions, which ended up coming out in Fed premium a couple of...

As to accuracy with the benchresters and cast boolits, take a look at the CBA matches and the ASSRA matches, 10 shots @ 100 @ 1moa is very doable, with peep sights, also doable @ 200. 2moa is out of...

Had some time at work to try to sort this out a bit. From what I can find, Sherwin Williams markets the SuperDurable and the RAL1000-9000 paints in TGIC and No-TGIC versions. What confused me this...

In reading some of the MSDS sheets on these paints, I am not sure I like the TGIC paints, such as the Super Durable Wet Black or the RAL9005 Jet Black thermoplastic, as they are actually nasty stuff,...

I expect you will have a lot of fun with that 450/400. I have been using 320gr cast in mine, an LBT WFN-GC with AA5744. It is pretty sweet to shoot with that load, and it is the same velocity as the...

I really like that Ruger chose to get into the older cartridges like the 9.3's and the English NE stuff. I have a 450/400NE 3" that is just fun to play with, so versatile in the cartridge setups I...

Rook rifles are just too sweet. Mine is an 1887 built H&H side lever in 300Rook. Unfortunately the chamber is egged from blowby, likes to split cases now, it needs a barrel, which will happen next...

I have a Rockchucker, and a CoAx. and a Lee portable hand press, and a Versamec 700. Does a breech seater and a re/decapper and thrower count ?, I have two guns I never size the brass for.

For argument's sake, picture it in this fashion;
1991 , US and others had to arm 400,000 troops, it caused a shortage.
2003, same deal, 2010 they were only supplying for what, 200,000 active?

It appears these guys have figured out how to do it by way of having a US division set up to do the exports;

If you want them, Hornady will make custom sized sleeves for their seaters.
Turned out I didn't need to do it, the 450/400 seater has the sleeve for the 405Win in it, which is .413.

Over the years of using the Lee tool. I broke bodies and handles on 4 of them, ran out of spare handles a couple of yrs ago, have one more Lee body to go. I ended up buying a 21st Century body,...

I started it as a bit of an experiment, I am a tinkerer. I wanted to play with reduced, cheap loads. I built a chicken load for my 7-08, a plinking load for my 7x57, and a gopher load for my 22-250...

I always try to achieve 1moa, myself and the wind are the deciding factor usually. Breech seated bullets will do 10 shot groups in 1/2-3/4moa on a good day for me, at 200. Cartridge seated, I have...

I was reading this last week, I thought it is something I'd like to have, a very cool little tool, just scared to ask what he wants for them though. A Hawkesley re & de capper. The pics he posted in...
about 20 yrs ago or so, I knocked an LE1000 scale off the bench with a gun that fell over and caught the cord. Talked to them, they did not have a repair program in place yet. Said to send it in...

You'd really cry about shipping if you had to bring across the border. With the dollar being about par now, exchange is a minimal item. However, USPS is the only good way to ship, as when it hits...

If you are in the position of having no linkages available to you for the old hand prime take a look at the 21st century tool. You reuse the trays and springs, and have a new tool that works really...

At one time I was shooting 50rds a day min for practice, didn't want to spend time scrounging scrap and melting it, and only needed a 1/20 to 1/30 blend, so I bought 35lb ingots and 1 lb tin sticks....

You can buy a furnace such as the Lee or Lyman or RCBS, or you can use a stove and a cast iron pot of some type. That becomes something of a choice in itself, as to whether you want to use a bottom...

Mine is holding the 2 to 2-1/2" mark at 100 with the 320 & 400 gr LBT so far. Their not benchrest guns, that's for sure. I have a new batch of bullets made up and will be working on it over the next...
