I have the priming system working well enough to try live primers!
I did 29 in strings of 10, the first string was 9 because one was missing from the tray.
I had a few hiccups with the cases...

I think Titan has those.

You need one with BALL BEARINGS!
My electronics teacher explained it to me when I was trying to build my first one in 1984.
Months he side torque puts a strain on the motor if it has sleeve...

I did some minor adjustments and the dead primers went through flawlessly!
I only did 8 in a row, next time I will try 100.
If the 100 goes through with no problems I’ll try live primers!

Nice work!
If things keep going the way they are it may be all we can own one day!

I think that 30 Remington is a rimless 30-30.

A .352-.353 diameter sizing die should not be a problem for Ammohead if you are using a Star.
Lyman or RCBS may take a little more effort.
LEE should be able to be modified easiest of all of them..

I have had the same experience with Liberty Mutual but I have had a few claims on collision and comprehensive.
They were going stupid with the homeowners until I called and asked why it was so high...

I made a tube to feed cases and tried 10 cases with once fired primers and had problems!
Cases feed OK once all 4 cases are in the rails but don’t fall off at the end like a loaded round would, I...

Well priming system gave me fits with multiple primers!
I spent the last 2 days modifying parts and pulling my hair out!
After a good night’s sleep I started by disassembling the entire priming...

Case slid bushing was made and installed today!
I am waiting on the Loctite to harden so that I can put a taper in the bottom like the factory had to help with alignment of the punch and the opening...

I use .187” wire for cores so a little bit bigger and still a readily available
reamer size.
The die may grow slightly when you polish the inside.
The punch should be .0005-.001 smaller than the...

Making some progress!
I made a primer stud to mount the primer tube and blast shield.
I bushed the hole for the primer punch.
I need to make a bushing for the case advance slide next!
With the...

Thanks M-Tecs!

I have to look!

You are 100% correct about the case inspection, sir!
I have 2 of the chrome or nickel plated 1050s, they are very early models and have chrome tool heads also!
One is the first one that I operated...

I picked up a bunch of lead pipe a long time ago and cut the wiped joints off and then melted the solder off the joints.
The solder melted before the lead, you just have to stay there and watch it....

The price increases are caused by the closing of all of the lead foundries in the US!
The ore is still mined but it is sent to China to be refined and then shipped back to the USA!

I could do that but I got a deal on the CH and it isn't costing much to make a piece of junk into something useful!

My favorite Psalm!
Thanks for sharing!

I got hooked on using primed brass when a friend asked me to load his new primed brass because it was seizing on the expanding die on his LEE press
I removed the decapping pin and went through 1000...

I got the CH press for nothing and I have spent a whole $25 to convert it to small primers.
I had a MK5 and it was junk, the priming system on the MK3 Is totally different and better!

My 1050 are from the late 80s and are chrome plated, one is the first one I ever operated at a friend’s house and the other is the first one that I bought shortly afterwards.
I had 3 of them at one...

The 1050 has a good priming system and if I had processed brass I would use the priming system but I don’t have access to a brass processor so this is the next best thing!
