First Press? RCBS Rock Chucker, tink I still have it too

1963, 38Spl, Lee Whack-A-Mole

I make the 45ACP shot shells. I use 243 or 270 brass, cut them down then use the RCBS 45ACP forming dies. Trim to length, then cut down 410 shotgun wads. Cap them off with a 35cal brass gas check and...

I don't have a 450 but have a few 45's. I get my "O" rings from Home Despot or Home Depot. They come in packs of 10 for a few bucks and I always keep a goodly supply of them.

I have had a SDB for abt 7yr now. The dies are no problem. I cbought tool heads and conversions for about 8 different calibers. Now to chabge calibers, it takes me about 5min. All the tool heads are...

Personally here is what I do: Frankford Arsnel (yea I know) wet tumbler. Fill 2/3 with brass, fill to the neck with hot water, 1/2 tsp Lemi-Shine and "2-3" DROPS of Dawn. Close tumbler and run for...

I use the copy/paste function, then save it into Word, easiest way I've found so far

I have a quart of AMZOIL automatic transmission fluid I've had for YEARS. Toothpic into the fluid, and the SMALL drop goes onto the sprue plate screw area. Lasts a long time and works good. Just be...

After a casting session, I let the moulds cool completely, then give them a good spray of RemOil (get it on sale at Wally World), then store them in a 20mm ammo box. Next use, good spray with brake...

From my understanding, Charlie is trying to sell his business and basically is not selling his FreeChex anymore, he wants to get out of the business but stay on as a consultant

From my experience with making aluminum gas checks (which I have had NO problems) if the gas check is loose on the bottom of the boolit, you need to use a thicker aluminum stock for making them. I...

I drained my pot good, then removed the control rod, liberal coat of fine valve grinding compound, put control rod back and did a basic valve seating job. No drips now.

I use a strange way to lubed my brass. Layer of waxed paper, then a folded paper towel. Spray with Lyman spray case lube and let it set for 1/2 hr or so to have the liquid (you know, the stuff that...

For Walnut media, the best buy I've found is at Harbor Freight. 25lb bag for like $22. Throw a little NuFinish in and it gives the brass a nice coat to retard any tarnishing. This is all done AFTER a...

When I went in the Navy in 67 they issued me "ONE" number, then the PC crowd (democraps) decided that the SSN was the way to go. Still remember them both

Best way I've found to pre-heat a mould is when you fire off your pot, set the mould(s) on the rim of the pot. By the time the lead's melted, the moulds will be pretty much up to temp. Only been...

Jeff: Yeu used way to much of each. You only need 3-4 "DROPS" of Dawn and 1/4 tsp of LemiShine. Doesn't sound like much but too much Dawn will leave residue that's not fun to get off. When I fill my...

I have used CCI primers exclusively, never had a problem that wasn't "MY" fault. ALL of my brass goes through the Dillon Super Swager before the primer box is even opened. NEVER had a problem so far,...

NYFirefighter357 put me onto the Frankfort pin tumbler. It may take a little more time and effort, but you end up with brass that looks like new Starline Brass, and that makes me HAPPY. The brass is...

I just use the Dillon Super Swager. Does a good job, never messed one up yet, and I've run literally thousands of Mil crimped brass through it. I don't even check if it's Mil or not anymore, just run...

For rifle rounds, I use the RCBS ChargeMaster. Not always right on the dot, but just dump the powder back into the hopper and do it again till it comes out right. For handguns, I have the Dillon SDB,...

With mil brass, eg; LC, I have the Dillon Super Swager to unify the primer pockets. This usually removes that little ridge. I do have some Mil brass from Argentina that has a BIG RIDGE around the...

Over the years I do a combination for case cleaning. First I deprime, then give them a good 3hr run in the pin tumbler with 1/4tsp of LemonShine (from Wally World) and 3-4 "DROPS" of Dawn. After the...

When I'm done casting, I let the moulds cool off and stabilize overnight, then since wally world sometimes has sales on "RemOil" I have a few cans laying around and give them a good coat of RemOil. I...

Pre heating the moulds does have it's benefits, but when I start a casting session, I usually place the moulds on the top of the pot while it's melting the lead. When the lead has melted, take the...
