HI all. So, I decided to build a pin tumbler, but I wanted a drum with a little larger capacity than PVC pipe. So long story short, I used an old #20 LP tank. I think the pics will explain what I...

If I am not mistaking, I think that is an annealing machine you got hidden in the corner there. Is that the one that I saw a video of working or did you make a carbon-copy? Nice setup for a small...

This maybe a stupid suggestion, but did you ever try a final rinse with a touch of the Jet-dry stuff that is supposed to remove water spots on dishes? Just a thought......

I dunno, but that PVC is going to generate a lot of static depending on the media your using, just a thought. I know I have the walnut shell stuff in my tumbler and it sticks to EVERYTHING. Maybe I...

So Far, I have loaded Varget, Unique, Titegroup, Bullseye & HS6 and the only issue I ran into was some of the powders seemed to get "crushed" and clump in the Rockchucker powder drop. Then, based on...

I have a newer rockchucker and use the hornady lock-n-load bushings on it (which I love) and have been very happy with everything except the supplied primer catcher. Seemed much more solid to me...

That's looks really good, and better than the one that I was planning on ordering from inline mfg. I would definitely be interested in purchasing one... let me know if you make any more! (referring...

I have the Frankford Arsenal one and it works great, is heavy-based. I have a lathe but I can't imagine why I would (other than just to do it) spend the time to machine one when this one works great...

I have owned guns for years, but basically ignored them for a while for family and other hobbies (I fly R/C, Ride motorcycles, ATV, love camping). So a little less than a year ago I decided I wanted...

Just thought I would mention that OB's recommendation for the smaller RCBS rotor in my powder measure fixed my issues completely, everything is working fine now.
Thank You!
Also, along with my...

I sized up about 100 rounds of .257 Roberts and measured all of the cases. Out of about 120 rounds I had about 20 that didn't need to be trimmed. Its my first effort in sizing these cases, some of...

I have been lurking for a bit, just recently joined. I have only recently began shooting again and jumped in with both feet, including some reloading and decided to get into some light casting for...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks for the OP, excellent info. It will be a while before I attempt to cast any 308's, but I have read this multiple times, and It sinks in a bit more each time, and I am reading up on some of the...

As a newbie myself, I was going to comment similar to DrDucati. I have been on many forums since I fly Radio Control R/C airplanes and those forums have these exact same discussions. I only have one...

I loaded up 100 .38 special with some Hornady XTP's in 125grn. Then another 100 .357's with some 158 grain XTP/FP's. I used HS-6 in both, so I am curious to see how it does since I have loaded mostly...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Hmmmm. That's a good point, I only have the one that it came with, I will have to look into the small one. I am sure it would make it meter better anyway for these small pistol loads. Thanks for the...

Actually I was wondering about humidity as well. But I can't say that I have noticed a big issue, however it has been rainy & wet here over the last few days, so it IS a possibility. I may need to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Hello, this is my first post so be gentle! I loaded 100 rounds of 38sp this morning. I am somewhat new to reloading, and just getting my stuff together to begin casting my own. In the meantime, I...
