Have done a few of my own, here is what I have learned. Prefab floor pans are Awesome if you get a good quality one. You can even buy custom cast ones, they are expensive. Where you have to make...

I only scanned the messages here, but did not see any mention of a sizer/luber. Get one. You will want to measure your cast boolits because they will likely not be the exact size that you will want...

Tents are terrific except in bear country. Not even talking grizzly here, Had a black bear go through a tent once, what a mess. No Food or drink, but the darn thing went in after the Wife's lotion....

Like so many others, I learned by sitting in the "reloading room" while my Dad went through the steps. These were literally hundreds of hours spent sitting on a stool watching the progression of the...

For those of us that have been using them for more than 40 years the Hollywood is like an old flannel shirt, soft and comfortable and easy to slip into. You have to remember that when these were new...

Yep, I know why it's done, just never got around to doing it, Then I started thinking.... I usually have between 300 and 5000 rounds for everything I shoot and I would guess that most of those cases...

This is only part joke. While supply lines have not been lead for a long long time, drain pipes, particularly for tubs, toilets and larger drains in old homes have a fair chance of having lead...

neat, I might try this too. I always just put a small ladle on the plate to catch the drips. Looks like a long term solution to me.

Funny how life takes you in so many different directions. Kids grow up, go to college, move out, get married, start a career. Luckily my Son in Law likes to shoot and is now wanting to learn to...

Long time since I was on the forum, but I still tinker. If you have the two piece Hollywood dies, I can probably walk you through the process. The first step is to set up the base die so that you...

I use the Dremel cone grinding stone to make my bevel on the die and then use the felt cone with grinding or polishing compound to bring things to a mirror finish. Every once and a while I tune up...

These would be a good start on the .243 bullets or even the 25 cal stuff using the 17 hmr or 22 mag brass.
