Nobody has mentioned the Benjamin(Crosman) Marauder multishot, or Benjamin Discovery, both start under $500, and the Discovery is under $500 with a pump. I don't own either, but they are well thought...

Since you have to power both the fan and heating element separately anyway, would it be easier to put a AC plug on the heating element to the programmer, and leave the fan and timer switch alone, so...

HaHaHa! Now that might be too much of a good thing! Proves the contraption works though.

I drive 25 miles to an outdoor range, mainly because none of the closer indoor ranges allow you to pick up the brass you bought. Because of the drive, when I go, I carry 200 rounds minimum. Bending...

Years ago, I was melting gold with a gas and oxygen torch in a crucible and about to pour it into a steel enclosed ingot mold, when it exploded and blew gold all over me and the floor around me. I'd...

For anyone else looking for .41 sizing dies, NOE has bushings in .410, .411, .412 etc. for his push though sizing system

I got mine from Amazon, but had to pay shipping, which was as much as the jack. Should have payed attention, and ordered 2, since it wasn't shipped with prime

Thanks for that link. I know the amount of hammering one firing of my new starline brass took, it would only be a matter of time before the rim was pounded down all around the base, on multiple...

My S&W 1911 leaves a pretty significant dent in the base, I'm guessing from the ejector. Never noticed it on my other 1911's. I hoped it was just factory "ball" ammo, possibly a little on the hot...

NO! The .357Mag Desert Eagle I had would shave copper off the jacket, and pepper my brow area above my shooting glasses! After actually pulling bloody fingers away from my brow I decided to send it...

Back before magnetic finishers, I used a thumblers tumbler with I'm guessing about a gallon capacity. 10 pounds of steel shot of different shapes was used for polishing gold or silver. Back then, it...

Os Ok, we have four seasons, three hot ones, and one cool. HaHa! During the cool time though, static is amazing. You can't put enough dryer sheets in the dryer to stop it. Also, when polishing with a...

LOL! Truth is, in winter time here, the powder will jump out of the bowl coat the bullets and every other surface. Thanks for the nudge there OS OK. :redneck:

It will probably be winter before I get around to doing any PCing. Just wondering if anyone notices better coverage/easier coverage in the static months? It has crossed my mind to use a well fitted...

Any chance you could post a photo of this watch? Do you remember when "nugget" jewelry was in fashion? Back in the 80's, Gold watch bracelets were made that used a cheap Seiko watch held underneath...

I would look on Ebay, might find that part, and with luck, it might fit your engraved back. Ebay is not one of my favorite places to shop, but obsolete old parts, is one good reason to check there....

mdi, I listened to the voices of reason, and put a little lube(grease) inside and out of a small primer case that I will never use, and I can not tell you, how much difference it made. I had...

If I understand correctly, this is a gold filled case? If that's the case, welding is not the best way to go about it. I would imagine the lugs were soldered on, especially if this is an old watch....

Thanks mdi. I have denatured alcohol, but I'd need to go buy isopropyl. I tend to agree that that's the problem. I'm kicking myself for sounding stupid with the "suction" thing, but I had inspected...

Wow! Thank you! Even quoted my post where I poked fun at myself for mentioning "suction" in the title! Oh well, I'll try lube!

[QUOTE=Crash_Corrigan;4183155]I used to have problems with the Dillon powder die sticking so hard that it shook the whole shebang offa da wall.

I know exactly what you mean! When mine would...

I wish I had named this post better, because thinking back, this thing was locking onto the cases when I was making "dummy" rounds without the primer. So "suction", has nothing to do with it! :wink:...

That would help with sizing, expanding, seating, and the taper crimp, although I've located "most" of my issue as the powder funnel/expanding die. I like the dry lube idea, and even though the spray...

Thank you all, I'll give lube a try. I sure don't remember having to man handle this press this hard back in the day, but then, I was twenty or so years younger, :grin:

I do have two bottles of Aqualube 5000 that mixes with Acetone or Denatured alcohol. It came from the company that makes the HyTek coatings, for use when sizing the coated bullets. I bought these...
