What none of the published manuals can deliver on is if the loads will be accurate from your rifle or pistol, they are just safe loads. There is so much more to reloading than load recipes. Anyone...

Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I can tell the difference when used in HV rifle at ranges beyond 200 yards. I sort my CB's prior to coating and stand them up for baking after coating using an ESPC gun. YMMV but I spend the...

Without immigrants NASA would need a trampoline to get astronauts to the ISS. Hardly any major inventions have been made by native born americans. Come to think of it, most americans are immigrants...

Along with giving up on WW’s as a source of alloy the excitement when a round pops cured me from mining berms. I’ll pay for good alloy, usually ISOcore, as the effort to process dubious scrap quality...

The PC is not what failed as it is no substitute for GC’s. I regularly shoot GC’d and PC’d rifle loads in that velocity range with 1moa or less from my rifles. PC is not a cure_all as many folks...

I'm watching with interest. Just went and counted presses, 4 ProJector and 2 Pro7 presses in the herd. They don't "need" to be updated but who knows. Some of my presses on the storage mounts:

As we get older and more broken down easier tools to use become indispensabile. Personally, the first to go was hand priming using the Lee hand primer which was replaced with a RCBS bench primer....

I second getting powder from Smoke as what he sells will work with shake-n-bake. I own a custom coating business and have access to many powder choices but recommend that folks that want to start get...

Cleaning out my unused tools and these need a new home as my CTS some years ago forced me to switch to a different priming tool setup. Both the small and large primer stems are included...
I have been loading and shooting 7.62x40WT & 300HAM’R in MSR’s with barrels from Wilson Combat. I switched out all except one of my 300BO as I don’t do subsonic and the round is a little anemic for...

Got tired of storing the bullet and case comparator pieces so I fired up Fusion360 and designed and then printed these. There are stubs inside the pieces which keep them in place even when the...
I use 33gn of 4759 under the Lee 450gn. I PC this plain base CB and size to .459” and with my M77 Ruger it is a pleasant to shoot rifle and very accurate combination. Small buck, 220yards measured,...

I have modified a fair number of the plates to add the groove required for the EZ-ject sub plate as found in the later AP presses. Tough metal and I found that using a 1/4” carbide endmill in the...

As Moleman pointed out you would need to purchase a number of additional pieces as well as be able to modify parts of the press. I have thought of what you want to do in the past but chose to keep...

I bought this about 10 years ago and did nothing with it since so it needs to go down the road to someone with the time and desire to use it. It is used and fits a 1911...

Never been interested in trophies on the wall but love the hunt and eating well. This past opening weekend took this small buck with my trusted 458Win using a Lee 450gn. 220yards and dropped right...

The way I solved this is to order custom size molds from Accurate which accommodates the added diameter size that PC creates. I know that sizing the nose works but unless much care is taken accuracy...

Short answer is no. I own a custom coating business and have access to a fair selection of powders and I have tried to figure this out but without the MDS it is a guess at best. Personally I prefer...

Yes, there are a number of powder types. Polyester, urethane and epoxy are quite common. There are hybrids as well depending upon the use requirement. This is quite a complex subject and worth the...
