Well here are the results: I wrapped a 410 ga brass cleaning brush with Chore Boy strands of copper, gave it a squirt of WD40 and spun it in the sizer die for 5 minutes, stopping to oil it a few...

I shot well over 1000 45 acp cast that looked just the same with the scratches on the drive bands.
No ill effects.
I just hate the way they look.

To all: I bought a 410 ga bronze cleaning brush and spun it in a drill for a couple of minutes with some Hoppes #9.
I sized a few, and while it improved, it did not get rid of the marks totally. I...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Can you elaborate a bit? My thought is that the brass ball will have to be .429" since the sizer die is .430".
OR....just a brass ball and rub it back and forth, even if it is smaller?
I guess I...

I always thought the Star sizer was nose first. been doing it that way for many years.
I have never tried it base first.

I know this is all about the sizer die.
The facts: 4 cavity H&G #237 200gr lswc gc.
Awesome bullet and mould. Great 44 mag full house lower recoil bullet.

I ordered one.
I am ready to conquer the wheel weights!
Interesting that these are very old (maybe 20 years+) and there are darn few zincs in it.

I used the same Lee 20 lb drip-o-matic pot for 30 years. I have to say dollar for dollar, they can't be beat. I finally decided to get the ProMelt and did so. The Lee has been mothballed and is...

My exercise is starting too. Spring time yard work, stacking 9 cords of wood, and prepping the 35x35 garden.
Starting slow and working my way up.

I have well over a ton of wheel weights to smelt. These are probably 20+ years old and back in the day I had a friend sell his tire shop and give me all I wanted for FREE!
I think I took way more...

If they use payment methods that are not scam protected, like a credit card, it is a scam. Period.

Here in NH winter is hardly over. Almost 60 today, but March and early April can have some nor'easters with heavy snow.
That's just the way it rolls here.

Settled this - I ordered a Lee 223 sizer die and 3 extra decapping rods.
No more broken/missing decap pins for me!

I use a Dillon 550 with a toolhead with a single 223 sizer/decapper to process all my .223 brass.
I probably need some psychological help, but I seem to enjoy the brass prep.

I have a ton of 223 brass that I am prepping.

That's a very interesting question. I read the obits every day and see who has bought the farm that I know.....too many of them I would add.

Quiet classical when reloading. I agree that you want to hear and feel the Dillon 550 to make sure all is well.
Usually a ball game (GO CELTICS!) or talk when doing case prep.

You are not the first to tell me that. An old timer told me 5:1 was Lyman hard cast equivalent. Maybe or maybe not, but it works for me.

Does anyone have any info on Magma Engineering - the makers of the Star Sizer.
It appears they have closed their doors.
Fact or fiction?
