On a comedic note, the remake of The Lady Killers with Tom Hanks is better than the Peter Sellers original. Then again, the Coen brothers always put strange twists on things.

I usually put few enough BB's in the bowl to make it between 2 and 3 layers deep. Any deeper does not seem to give an advantage.

I have had three or four 9mm cases that slipped out of the shell holder in my APP by distorting the case rim during the sizing operation. I suspect that the real problem was due to a case bulge from...

I have noticed the "C" mark on bullets cast in a 6 cavity Lee mold before. When opening the sprue plate I have noticed a small "crumb" of lead left on the sprue plate in the pour hole. If I don't...

I prefer sufficient clearance to ensure that a little tolerance error in bullet seating will not cause lockup or any drag on the face of the forcing cone. Any amount of clearance that leaves the...

I am quite satisfied with a Lee 4-20 pro pot. Using a PID control keeps the melt consistent at various lead levels very well. I don't like the pots with a PID built in because of the heat problem....

You might want to consider the fuel costs of heating up the entire cable to remove the lead. It takes a lot of propane to heat the copper and plastic just to let it cool again.
I have used a...

My older set of Lee 32ACP dies came with shell holder 7B. The current version is probably R7.

Another benefit to using an oven made from a #10 can is the ability to put ingots on top of it. They can then preheat a little to drive moisture away and reduce the time for the melt pot to return...

Hope it helps.
A defect rate of 0.5% very significant and should be reduced, but 0.5% is only 5,000, not 50,000.

I think that the only benefit that you would get is an increased opportunity to clean guns, reloading dies and indoor ranges.

The Lee size dies have a longer taper section than the NOE. Think of it as a shallower angle on a revolver forcing cone.

Even if you change the plug or the wall outlet you won't get satisfactory results. Running a 220v heating element on 120v circuit will only produce 1/4 the heat output. You would have to rewire the...
