I've always wanted a metal lathe but that's the extent of my needs. I have a full woodshop though

I saw a video on youtube where iraqveteran8888 loaded some but I personally don't

Try and message the guy from the youtube video. He did get a new needle and a new rubber seal shipped to him from Europe

My Lee progressive never worked right. If I had to do it over again I'd just save up for a 650 B or Hornady lnl

I have one of the rcbs sets that goes in the press and its alright but it's slow. I'd just go with the dillon system if I was you

For modest cleaning I just oil with ballistol and run a bore snake through but if it's really fouled I'll just take the bolt out. On a marlin it's just one bolt that has to be removed

I've had a husky 455 rancher for 4 years and it's still going strong. I put a 24 in bar and a good chain on it and it has plenty of power. Granted it's only a 55 but it's good enough for my needs....

I have a ruger m77, rem 700, and savage axis. They're in 7mm rem mag, .308, and 223 respectively. If I had to pick one I'd take the river any day. It's the most accurate rifle I own and has done dime...

The furthest I've gone is 100 but my range goes on up to 300. I mostly just plink with a 22

I am quite picky when I'm reloading for a rifle caliber but not nearly as much for when i load for a handgun

I think in order to fully test your hypothesis you should back up to 100 yards

I also tried 6.5 jap from 35 rem but it collapsed into itself

I've been meaning to get a 50bmg upper for a special AR build but that hasn't happened yet. I have a 357 desert eagle so eventually I'll get a conversion kit to 50 AE. I might be getting a 50-70 soon

You can get a tc encore and get a 45 barrel for it
While we're talking about reloading for this pistol how about we get some pictures?

I just sorted through a bunch of brass and have a coffee can full of 6.8. Shoot me a pm and we can work something out

If you're loading for .380 I really wouldn't worry about trimming the cases
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Why even use a bullet at all? Use some pistol powder in the case or whatever you have on hand. Fill with wheat germ and then plug the case with a bit of soap. May need to he done more than once but...
