I notice the same thing (gas check staying in the cartridge). I use a shortened bicycle spoke to punch the check sideways, grasp it with a 6" forceps and tug it free of the case. i didn't like the...

Howdy all,

Just a thought... the container #5. was it totally clean to begin with? Any oil or wax residue will effect the static transfer to the objects being treated. Even using a towel washed in fabric...

I lost the nut for the punch. Looked all over for the nut and finally came up with a jam nut for a flash hider/suppressor. works for me.
I had the same question when I started with the 30 cal. mold that I was given from my friend.
After much testing, we determined that the method that Buckshot recommends is right on. Buckshot said...

I started out with these litho sheets from the newspaper office, gave then a quick "wipe down" with a alcohol soaked rag (outdoors), scored them and made strips. I did the same with Beer cans (I...

Hi All,
I was lucky enough to discover a Star Lubesizer in a box at a rummage sale today. Still has the lube in it, from the dust and dirt i'd say 20 years worth. I'm thinking this is the one that...

What I found, was the nose punch was ever so slightly bigger than the size die and STOPPED when it hit the top edge of the size body. Which turned out to be just short of the lube band on the bullet....

I followed Pat's suggestion and had the punch part buffed to a "shine" and eliminated the problem. No abrasives were used just a "rag" buffing wheel. Also examine the forming part that there is no...

check out MiHec molds. I have the 6 cavity 200 grain H&G clone. I tried to buy a true H&G mold from a friend but he refused to sell. So I wrote MiHec and he fixed me up. I'm really pleased with it.
I agree that the RCBS design looks darn close and worth a try. However, you should take a look at NOE molds. I don't see a 400 grain but see a 350 gr. listed. Some time back I pm'd him about a 405...
