I would like to ad to DukeinFlorida's post about forum or web site loads. I was checking out loads for my .243 WSSM the other day and I forget which web site it was on but there were some loads...
Back in 1979 I went to a Universal progressive loader. It was a fast reloader but hard to change calibers and I ended up only using it for .38, .357 and .45 ACP. I switched back to a Lyman Turret...

That Covington tumbler really looks like a great rig but for $475 do you really need that big of one? I had a friend give me a Thumbler's tumbler with a #15 lb drum. I use the Stainless steel media...

I've used just about every kind of lube on the market and ran into a problem with trying to run some 50 BMG API surplus pulled bullets through a Lee .510 sizer die. I almost screwed up my RCBS...

In 1969 my father gave me the same Parker Hale 1200 30-06 for my 13th birthday. I shot my first doe with it at 225 yards with open sights. I remember Dad calling it a "Weatherby class rifle" for...

For the first time in over 30 year I went to using a ladle. I can pour all 3 bullets with the ladle full. My Lee bottom pour just does not have enough room. They turned out sweet though.
