Well I finally got moved, mostly. Moved from Salem to the southwest (southwest Oregon). Moving 20 years of accumulation can be the pits. Not only the lead and reloading/casting stuff, but more than...

For emergencies with my RCBS dies, I cut a proper size Allen wrench to length. Never bent or broken one yet. Even kept one in my .308 die after I got replacements.

I still have my 70's kal-lite 6D cell (otherwise known as the electric sap) that I used on patrol. Made a tube from wax paper and slid it in before putting in the batteries, works for me. If you do...

I had the opportunity to use this today and pass it on for those new casters.
To start with you need a couple of items usually found in the reloading room, or shop.

If all else fails, e-mail Dillon on sending it to them. They did it for me a few years ago. Free and fast turn around.

Positively slowed down for (video) production. At the rate the video showed production, the mags would cost more than the rifle.

My avatar is "The Duke". I think it refers to Duke Wayne, my X named him after the Duke of Earle.
Whatever, he is my best friend, no matter what.

I have been using the Dillon for about 20 years now. Whatever brand you get, get a set of check weights.

I have a coil hot plate, free. Took an old circular saw blade and ground off the teeth so I would not snag something on it. Like my sleeve or fingers.

I couldn't find the purple button. I wondered when someone would remember Ithica didn't make a pump. At least a few did. I will try and find purple

I have walked into a rowdy bar and shut the place up by racking the slide on an Ithaca 10 gauge.

I used to hear it every day. "I want my white pill for blood pressure refilled". I ask what is the name of it? "The white ones with the line down the middle".

Please be aware that if the steel plate is surrounded by the tire that if you hit the tire, that boolit could go anywhere including back toward you. I have seen it happen too many times. Be careful...

Figure the plumbers lead as pure, you will have to add tin to the mix both for the hardness and cast ability. Add an equal amount of clip on WW and you will be good to go for the 45.

I think they are training rounds. I have about a half dozen unfired. Very little fast burning powder. Just my opinion if others know better, I would also like the info.
