Since you're just getting started, Trail Boss will get you mid-range performance plus keep away some common big case Gremlins while you get used to the loading process. I think it's a bit too easy...

Cut crimps and prepped pockets and mouths on the last two coffee cans of previously trimmed Lake City 5.56 brass. This was an all week job as I had trimmed six cans worth with the WFT II last week. I...

I have always used wood chips to suspend and float impurities and wax to reduce the surface oxidation periodically. Seems to work in my part of town but I have no empirical evidence of my approach...

I'm betting I'm not the only one looking at that picture, then my own bookcase, and going "Hey...that looks like my shelf!"

Loaded 300 rounds of .45 Colt with the Lee 200 gr FRN over 6.5 grains of 700X for a nice light load in the Blackhawks and Vaqueros. Then mixed up some 10:1 lanolin lube and sized some LC brass in...

Awesome. Lily is getting a bunch of fantastic guiding memories of you to treasure forever. My 5yo grandson is loading up on nostalgia with me also. Though from the sounds of it he is considerably...

I have done that several times with rifles, guitars and 60s GTO and Firebird parts. The kind of stuff you grab at the swap meets and stash in anticipation of needing it someday.

Shoot 'em quick and as is. Sizing will soften them, as will time.

Every spare moment for the last three evenings was spent sizing/decapping four mostly full ammo cans of Lake City cases. With as much lanolin as has been on my hands I should be immune to my...

I had a fun day. I hauled all my casting gear up to the folks place and set up next to Dad out on the back porch. An afternoon of dueling Pro Melts. He cast up about 40 lbs of RCBS 38 150 SWCs and 9...

I have no luck with the white box Winchesters in pistols other than my Ace. Fine in a Spike's AR22 and my 10/22s though. The Federal Champions cycle everything I own in 22lr so that's always my first...

Great find and fantastic price for these days! I sold my Mountie a while back when it seemed they were plentiful and reasonable. Figured I'd find one with a better stock and more blueing left and...
