Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Luckily I don't have too much of this brass. Around 20 or 30 cases. I had already seperated them a while back and now I know why I did lol. I must've had trouble before and then sorted them. The...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I agree. It only happened on one case and then after that I stopped. I am in the process now, hand lubing them with the lee lube and so far so good. Going a little slower and adjusted the decapping...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
On the Wilson set, Would it be better to get the stnd. decappin pin or the .057 flash hole pin?
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Those look really stout! Page bookmarked. I don't think they will work with the hornady dies though. The lee universal dies is pretty affordable and should have one anyway. I may go the hand...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Yep they sure are. They have a red coating around the primer pocket.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Pretty sure. Couple shots of one shot, roll around, and a couple squirts more. Even tried the second with some lee lube put on by hand.
I'll have some time later today to mess around and I'll use...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Thanks for the advice so far! I have read that some of this brass does or can have an off center flash hole. I don't have alot of this brass, 20pcs or so, but have read that it is pretty good brass....
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Thanks for the reply Winger Ed. I had the primer pin set pretty deep. So low it actually pushed the neck and shoulder into the body of the case :shock: I ended up using my lee trim gauge inserted and...

This was the most applicable sub forum that I figured my problem could be posted. Anyway.... I was trying to deprime and resize some PSD brass and had trouble getting the primers out. I am using a...

This^^^^^ I know this is an old post, but I too was getting wrinkled bullets. Mold was heated up and pouring at temps of 730-750. Still wrinkled boolits. After the the spru frosted I was cutting and...

I had good success putting my Lyman/Ideal 45 in the oven @200 for a little while and then using blue shop towels to wipe everything out and down.

I find that using old computer power supply boxes work well for these units. You can gut them out and cut out for your PID controller. I've built two this way and have about $35 into mine.

Started off with a single stage. Even though I like the workout, my body will appreciate the Dillon!

As pointed out you have the 550 frame and the 450 other parts. Other than the slide out tool head the other features that make it a 550 are the automatic priming system and automatic powder system....
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Makes sense. I thought maybe they came out with a different version. I prefer Old English for my speakers and cabinets. I'm still gonna keep an eye out so I can try this bullet recipie
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I need to ask: Why did they discontinue the liquid wax?
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Awesome topic! I am going to start loading for 45 colt and gonna have to try these out!
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I second this. The wax/oil base won't mix well with water. When dry tumbling I just pour a little Nufinish right on top of the media, usually lizard bedding from the pet store.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I recently picked up a used 450 that has most of the 550 upgrades. Needed to get a few parts like the small primer cup and punch and their chat representative was very helpful. I am super excited to...
