    I fully agree with Randy Bohannon in his praise of 725. Thanks to 725 for his answer and the quote from Calvin is so accurate in its implications of us in our gun culture - and we rarely even know it.

    In reading the last two posts one from gbrown and one from onelight I can't help but chuckle at some of the "adjustments" we make to keep things moving along. Thanks for the verifications.

    Interesting thread about some often forgotten hand tools especially the dippers, yet the thread seems to open and shut for no good reason. We all know that the little suckers are worthwhile even if...

    IDK for sure because you mentioned a specific product. In general I've used both collet pullers and impact pullers depending on the task at hand and frankly they are all a pain. If we could just...

    It has a carbide ring for the handgun calibers I have used it for. Some folks using cast bullets think the FCD die over crimps lead bullets but it can generally be eased out enough to avoid roll...

    There are words of wisdom and experience in this thread. I have also rediscovered the benefits of press cleaning and maintenance on a regular basis.
    Who'd a thunk it. It do make a difference.
