I'm sorry to hear of this. Being located where I am (AK) crappy shipping/packing is almost the norm. But I can say that I've never had that issue with Midway. I've received over 12 packages from them...

copdills- Try Precision Reloading or Ballistic Products for the brass crimp starter. That's where I got mine a couple of years ago. Grant you they're not cheap but doubt if you could wear one out....

Ya, I got the ssi scammer call today, I just let em talk to the answering machine, it was a robot voice. I guess it/they thought I just fell off the turnip truck.

BlueJay75- There was some interest a few years ago in a NOE group buy for the NEI-SSK-320gr 44 cal. In fact I had the mould and sent samples. Alas not enough interest at that time. If you get it...

GW- Were you thinking of Ben's Liquid Lube. 60/40 liquid alox and Johnsons liquid Floorwax?

I have over 13 of NOE's molds, the only problems incurred were self induced. Shipping was very fast for the last frontier too. No complaints here. bushman

albunaitoo- I feel the pain, living in the last frontier is much the same. Some companies won't do USPS either. Call them on the phone requesting USPS, and they say sorry that's their policy,...

am44mag- If you've stayed with Ben's recipe wouldn't need a heater except if you're working in 40 deg or below temps. Ben's Red is a softish lube. I use it in a lyman 450. Haven't had any problems...

corbinace- look at NOE's website under push thru dies. bushman
PS The body bushings are prefixed with a B, nose with a B.

white eagle- I've used Starline in 41 mag & 44 mag. Loads are 28-30K psi range, ~ 10 reloads on each case, no problems as yet. bushman

doubleJ- That all depends on what is the intended use for your lead. Just plinking stuff, full out magnum, or rifle loads. Bumpo has a calculator spreadsheet found on this site for calculating...

map- RCBS handles are the way to go, for NEI Molds, however, if your looking to purchase a new NEI Mold. I would check out the threads on them, the "old"ones, when Walt Melander made them were very...

dragon- Just a note, I have the 3.8 version and 8208XBR is listed.bushman

I just had a couple of successful logon's but now it's back to the "Danger Deceptive" site warning. 12:16 AM AK time. bushman

Mods- Everything back to normal, now.11:27 AK time

Mods- Just tried to access the site my Browser Firefox comes back with "Danger Deceptive site", and attempted to block it. This I thought was odd as I was on 8 hrs ago never had this happen before....

cwheel- I would have to go with Beau, ie. cold weld. I had some 35 Whelen I loaded before it was a factory cartridge, did the same thing, velocity variations all over the place, as well as reduced...

DougGuy- Sorry, Tom explained it better than I could.
bushman

Doug Guy- I use a lot of different brands of brass per caliber, each with it's own case capacity, and corresponding over all length. The overall length is in the case file for that particular brand...

countrygent- I have the same problem with an old fl-2000 dillon tumbler, did grainger give you a part #? My luck with looking up pn's has been futile. thanks. bushman

Don- Also be advised that some lubes expand with heat and also thin out a little bit too, of course this all depends on the lube. I use Ben's Red in mine, and since it's still in the 30's at night I...

I've had the same problem but it was temperature related, anything below 40 deg in the reloading area (reload in my unheated garage) for a long period of time, caused the plastic to get stiff, and...

7 X 57 to 6mm Remington

Well, I guess I should consider myself lucky. Been here for over 30 yrs mail has always been slow, Priority 2 day is usually 4-5 day, from Midway about a week. But that's normal for us in the last...
