Trail Boss..... What a great option when you want to bring a new shooter into the fold rather than scare them half to death. Safe, sane, and a good time for all. Can't go against that logic.

Have to choose between one or the other. 700gr cast bullet with 25gr of Win 296 will give them all the adventure they can handle. Might even crack their melon. A 300gr plated bullet with minimum...

Dillon. More Dillon. Particularly dies and conversion kits of calibers that will be in sky-high demand the next time this absurdity happens. And it will.

I used 4x6" dimensional lumber for mine. I know that is overkill for many but I am also running a Dillon BFR (Big Fifty Reloader not pictured) and it will turn any ordinary bench into toothpicks.

Some guy on ebay who goes by the name "Snowshooze" sells single stage conversion kits for both the 550 and 650. He's out of Anchorage but delivery is quick. Been selling Dillon upgrades for several...

Your answer makes a lot of sense given the war effort. Just grind a digit off the bunter and be done. Makes perfect sense and the Google search definitely supports the information you provided. I'm...

Thanks for the response but I think these are older than 04'. The picture was taken after a considerable amount of cleaning and the residue in the primer pockets was like nothing I've seen from this...

A few years back, I was given a box of approximately fifty 50BMG cases. I never really looked at them as I have maybe a 1,000 50 BMG cases on hand. Well, yesterday I got around to sizing 50BMG on my...

Apology accepted. Have fun playing with your BB gun.

I disagree. There is a big difference between someone who has "researched the requirements" and someone who paid the fees, taken the class, passed the tests, received certification, and has shipped...

I'm a Fedex approved hazmat shipper but thanks for the heads up. Been shipping powder and primers legally since 2013. So yeah, I kind of know what I am doing.

The absolute fastest way is to have a press for each caliber. It's interesting that the faster we go, the lazier we get. For each caliber I trim, I have a seperate toolhead with its own Dillon...

Just sold an 8lb of Win 760 on GB for $566. I was just trying my money back since I don't shoot 760. So I started the auction at retail price of $188. Part of me feels guilty about this because it...

N140 is my goto powder for .308. Absolutely love it so you can imagine my excitement of finding a full case of it stashed away. The rifle calibers I shoot are .223, 300 AAC, 308, 338 Lapua, and 50...

Got to admit. I like your thinking. :)

Was cleaning out my garage over the weekend and found a full case of 12 1lb containers of Vihtavuori N140 and a sealed 8lb container of Winchester 760. Apparently, this stuff was left over from when...

Hate to say this but the SS pins do very little other than eat up space in your tumbler. Just for giggles. Try running a load of brass without them and see if the difference is worth the expense of...

Whenever some asks me if I will load ammo for them, I always take it as they either want free ammo from me or they want my time for free. Otherwise, they'd go to the store and buy it themselves....

I struggled for years with the want of a 500 S&W levergun vs the cost of the BHA Model 89. After selling some stuff and saving, I am proud to say my new BHA Model 89 will be delivered next week....

Not only do I use a tool to tighten my lock rings, in some cases I even use Locktite. Especially for my Dillon Trim Dies because precision matters.

Not sure what kind of press you intend to mount on that but I would highly recommend the Inline Fabrication Ultramounts as advertised on this site. The will distribute the weight and raise the press...

Get the XL750 and don't look back. You will never outgrow that machine like you did with your Lee and probably the SDB at some point. Buy once, cry once I say.
