For rifle brass (I'm exclusive to the 45-70 ) so I don't use them by the 1000's I use Flitz. I took a washing machine motor, removed the belt pulley and while motor is running, put a file against the...

I bought thru our S&S a 2 cav NOE aluminum mold (supposedly new-not used) and wanted to changed the HP pins. The screws holding the bracket that holds the pins are so tight I cannot loosen them. Any...

Many people on this site tell stories of 1000's of pounds of lead from hospitals. Over the years I have visited the 3 major hospitals in our area and every dentist I can find and every single one has...

Handloaders are a very small piece of the pie. Before Starline or anyone else begins production of primers they will need contracts from big business.

I develop an accurate load at 70-80 degrees out with 296 and in Nov. the group opens up considerably. Do the same with 110 and no problem. 296 always was temperature sensitive but not 110. Mine are...
