Will,
The bad capacitor at the top of the pic is a 15 micro-Farrad Capacitor, 5%, 250 (can't see it well, for 220V under loads) Volt Alternating Current that has failed. You can very easily get a...

Steve,
I worked on M16A2's in the Army years ago and I've built or repaired many of them since then. I own the exact same kit you do, except I have aftermarket type furniture. I think you chose...

One press has nothing to do with the other. One was Dad's design, the other was son's design.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Use it as a swaging press, that's how to break even the best cast iron presses. That said, if you're doing standard reloading, the cast irons are hard to beat.

I have used both presses with the Hornady Quick change bushings. They both work equally well. You install the die in a bushing, mount it in the press, adjust the die, lock the die in the bushing....

Thank you for the pictures. What you have is very similar to what I had visualized. I am curious about the sloped section of rail at the back of the case pusher track. What purpose did you have in...

I'm thinking you could move it slightly using those mounting bosses on the front of the frame. I think they're 1/4-24 thread if memory serves. Use a slightly different version of the Lee case feeder...

I had a USA made Rock Chucker and the Lee Classic Cast on my bench for three months comparing them with no bias, as I like both companies. I still have the Lee, the RC has been sold long ago. The Lee...

Nowadays, I would think the best way to deal with a barrel needing break in is to fire lap it with fine grits. Quick, painless and effective.

I've transported many a milsurp to and from the range. I've always used the sleeves like you see at gunshows the gun dealers use. I bought mine for $3 to $5 each and they've lasted for years. They...

I sold my like new out of the mummy wrap looked like brand new for $1000.00 two years ago. It had been rearsenaled, but had the original 4 groove barrel like yours does. If yours looks like new,...

Install the Inline Fabrication alignment units and then add the mod Artful posted a video of and you can't get the Super Swager to run much faster I don't think. I used my hand to do the flip, but I...

Brass prep and seater dies are other considerations. If you're talking rifle rounds, the LnL does a very good job on rifle. You can improve upon the runout using a Forster micrometer seating die. I...

You gotta wonder about RCBS. Sometimes they are their own worst enemy.

Just a suggestion, but NOE sells Lyman M-die style expander plugs for the Lee Universal expanding die. My experience so far has been a higher level of satisfaction with the Lee/NOE combination...

If you're lubing black powder bullets, you first need a top of the line black powder lube. Here is a link to a good one and how to make it:

Another vote for the Lee Classic Cast. More affordable, great primer disposal, ergonomically sound, strong. Will do everything you need to do. If you add Hornady LnL bushing conversion kit, makes the...

No contest - Lee Classic Turret for a nice volume increase while maintaining cartridge quality.

Looks like you've done a real good job with it and taken it as far as the design will let you. I really like your setup. That extra aluminum there to mount a thermocouple and hold molds?
