I'm in a summer cleaning mood and started piling up stuff in my reloading room that I no longer use, and my eyes settled on my Lyman 450. I've gotten pretty good at Hi-Tek coating at this point and...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Discolored/tarnished, yes. Corroded or crusty, no. As long as it feels smooth to my fingernail, I'll shoot it in "bulk" practice ammo. Anything for accuracy or hunting gets the good stuff.

I can't weigh in on the other options, but I've used quite a bit of evaporust. I had a 5 gallon bucket about half full and I was de-rusting a bunch of stuff from my 68 Mustang as I was building it,...

We had snow off and on all Friday and Saturday. I didn't have to run the plow truck until March, and the snowmobile trails never opened by us...nobody in my family was very happy about that! I've...

I'm curious where else in our great nation has gun culture quite to this level: I'm going to play gun bingo this afternoon!

Our Chrysler Pacifica has that, but with the "have to shut it off every single time" bonus. Separate battery for the start/stop system, but it causes massive issues when it goes, even if the primary...

Had -15 on the vehicle on the way to work this morning, -20 through some the low spots on the drive. Never got above 0 and we were back down to -3 at 430 on the way home. I don't know what the wind...

I didn't know this was a thing! It may have just gone onto my bucket list of guns!

No knowledge of the one you referenced, but my go-to scope for anything with low recoil is the Simmons 22 Mag scope. I've put them on a half dozen different things and have been very happy with them.

You'd be amazed what you can find with a want ad. Brother in law won a 240 Weatherby Mag at a banquet and asked me to start reloading for it. Posted a WTB for brass and dies, had everything I...

That's where my TV time goes! I'm re-watching the Expanse right now and am excited (although worried because it is Disney) about the potential Firefly reboot.

I did some pretty extensive, although only chronograph based, testing early during COVID. In all cases it was putting magnum primers into non-magnum applications such as SPM into 9mm loads. I...

Generally no. But I've found some cases in some dies just don't seem to agree, requiring more upwards force on the handle and my operation of the press isn't as smooth as I'd like. This is when the...

I would recommend what Shooterg did above. Look into estate auctioneers and in my area, many of them will do a 2-3 times a year sporting goods sale. They'll take possession of the items with full...

I actively sought lead for about a year and ended up with over 1000lbs of mostly wheel weights. My wife's cousin works for a major construction company that primarily does hospitals, and he started...

I saw a video that perfectly described Yellowstone as a Hallmark movie for men. My wife is obnoxiously obsessed with Hallmark Christmas movies this time of year. It's become a running game that...

Wisconsin here: sour cream, sharp cheddar shredded off the block (not that bagged crap covered in sawdust), and Fritos ON TOP! Chopped onions, jalepenos, crumbled bacon, cornbread, oyster crackers,...

Up in NW Wisconsin, about an hour south of Lake Superior, we woke up to about -10. Snowed a little in the last few days and it hasn't been warm enough during the day to melt it, but it is supposed...

I just had the mother of all flashbacks to Fort Lost in the Woods! There was some other liquid that was sold right along side it in a small plastic bottle that would add a gloss on top of the spit...

Using the pistol drop tube fixed it, dumb me for not remembering that in the first place. I dug through my dies and got the Hornady 9mm/380 expander out, so that will come into play instead of the...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I just transferred the expander from my 9mm case activated adapter...I kind of forgot that the stock ones existed until you said it. I'll find the pistol one and try that.

I went to setup my LNL-AP with the case activated powder drop for 380 last night, and realized that the cases seem too short to activate the powder drop. Even with it all the way down in the die,...

I used to work in a middle to high end jewelry store in college. I think we charged about $10 to replace batteries, probably took me 10-15 minutes per watch. Problem was that I was expected to meet...
