I forgot about my Lyman #1 and #3 manuals. I ended up using the starting charge for a 5/8oz load for a 3" Federal shell. It actually shot pretty good. Thanks again.

A friend gave me a jug of mixed shot. I use it for varmints and snakes around my folk's house. It works good for that.

I use a triangular file chucked up in a hand drill. It seems to work well, and I already had it.

I usually load Super X Win 3" 410 or Remington hulls I find at the range. Lately, things have been dry. I broke down and ordered some Fiocchi 3" 410 hulls. Funny thing. I can't find any data for...

I have used felt wads I made from dryer lint. After having surgery back in 07, I was suffering from cabin fever and decided to experiment after reading an article describing the process. Now I just...
I'm quoting you, to express my "like" for your post. I really wish they would add a "like" option.

I remember using WD40 as starting fluid.
I use a ladle and a 32 cal ball or a Lee Soupcan to pour the nose, when I do it. I want to see it done with a HP pistol mould.

Did Pacific or Bair ever make a commercial loading press? They remind me of heavy duty Pacific 300's.

Do any of you recognize these presses? I saw the picture on FB, and it's bugged me ever since. I keep thinking they might be made by Ponsness Warren, but I'm just guessing....
I bought it many years ago. I wish I had bought several hundred pounds of it.
I still have a few pounds of Russian Unique. I was thinking of using it for 12 Ga. I'm not going to try it unless I can find someone that has done it.

I wish someone would make a kinetic puller for shotshells. People sometimes give me boxes of shells and IDK if they're reloads or factory. It's hard to tell since they are old. I ere on the side of...

I did something I have never done. I poured 0.2 pounds of Red Dot into a pound of 2400. I feel sick. I have never mixed powders even by accident. The good thing is the kernel size is greatly...

I don't believe it would put any more pressure or stress on the measure than the charging mechanism and flaring/expander do. I honestly can't picture it taking more pressure to size the neck and...

I noticed my Dillon 223/5.56mm NATO powder funnel tightly fits the neck and shoulder of my cases. This gave me an idea. Could you use a neck sizing bushing in a powder charging die and skip the...

Go to GMDR.COM. Click on Oregon Trail data. You can use the 170 gr Unique data with any weight boolit.

I'm hoping the 108 dipper will drop around 13.0gr Red Dot. My 1.9cc dipper drops around 15gr.

I recently bought a set of red dippers. I wanted to supplement my yellow dippers. Can you tell me the approximate difference in volume between the two? I'm hoping they'll be just a bit smaller. I'll...

If you're talking about powder funnels, I'll tell you something I thought about. Modify a neck sizing die so you can attach the powder measure to it, and use it to charge your case. I have an RL300...

You can use one of those plastic ones. You just need to calibrate the scale.
