I am getting to the point of downsizing because I don’t have anyone to leave my hobby stuff to!
I recently went to a couple of estate sales where they were selling tools for pennies on the dollar!...

Getting better function but still having a few hiccups!
For some reason the primer punch is hanging up.

Casts at 250 grains now.

Better than RCBS going out of business if they are having financial difficulties!

I have the priming system working well enough to try live primers!
I did 29 in strings of 10, the first string was 9 because one was missing from the tray.
I had a few hiccups with the cases...

You need one with BALL BEARINGS!
My electronics teacher explained it to me when I was trying to build my first one in 1984.
Months he side torque puts a strain on the motor if it has sleeve...

I did some minor adjustments and the dead primers went through flawlessly!
I only did 8 in a row, next time I will try 100.
If the 100 goes through with no problems I’ll try live primers!

Nice work!
If things keep going the way they are it may be all we can own one day!

A .352-.353 diameter sizing die should not be a problem for Ammohead if you are using a Star.
Lyman or RCBS may take a little more effort.
LEE should be able to be modified easiest of all of them..

I have had the same experience with Liberty Mutual but I have had a few claims on collision and comprehensive.
They were going stupid with the homeowners until I called and asked why it was so high...

I made a tube to feed cases and tried 10 cases with once fired primers and had problems!
Cases feed OK once all 4 cases are in the rails but don’t fall off at the end like a loaded round would, I...

Well priming system gave me fits with multiple primers!
I spent the last 2 days modifying parts and pulling my hair out!

I use .187” wire for cores so a little bit bigger and still a readily available
reamer size.
The die may grow slightly when you polish the inside.
The punch should be .0005-.001 smaller than the...

Making some progress!
I made a primer stud to mount the primer tube and blast shield.
I bushed the hole for the primer punch.

Thanks M-Tecs!

You are 100% correct about the case inspection, sir!
I have 2 of the chrome or nickel plated 1050s, they are very early models and have chrome tool heads also!
One is the first one that I operated...

I picked up a bunch of lead pipe a long time ago and cut the wiped joints off and then melted the solder off the joints.
The solder melted before the lead, you just have to stay there and watch it....

The price increases are caused by the closing of all of the lead foundries in the US!
The ore is still mined but it is sent to China to be refined and then shipped back to the USA!

I could do that but I got a deal on the CH and it isn't costing much to make a piece of junk into something useful!

My favorite Psalm!
Thanks for sharing!
