Dillon makes a loader with a case feeder. Of course I mean the 1050. I find it best to have mine set up for my highest volume cartridge, then leave it that way. Changing to a different caliber is...

When you get gun cleaning solvent all over your hands (I bet we all do) and its time for lunch, try some automotive hand cleaner first. I like the kind made from oranges. It works. No solvent...

When I got my rifle from Big Five sporting goods about 30 years back it had been imported from Korea. I could actually drop a bullet down the muzzle! If I inverted the rifle and shook it I could...

I went to my source last week to get a few buckets to work on. He said "Sorry, I send all my weights to a little mom and pop tire store. They re-use them". Heartbreaking to hear, but original,...
