Making some progress!
I made a primer stud to mount the primer tube and blast shield.
I bushed the hole for the primer punch.
I need to make a bushing for the case advance slide next!
With the...

Thanks M-Tecs!

I have to look!

You are 100% correct about the case inspection, sir!
I have 2 of the chrome or nickel plated 1050s, they are very early models and have chrome tool heads also!
One is the first one that I operated...

I picked up a bunch of lead pipe a long time ago and cut the wiped joints off and then melted the solder off the joints.
The solder melted before the lead, you just have to stay there and watch it....

The price increases are caused by the closing of all of the lead foundries in the US!
The ore is still mined but it is sent to China to be refined and then shipped back to the USA!

I could do that but I got a deal on the CH and it isn't costing much to make a piece of junk into something useful!

My favorite Psalm!
Thanks for sharing!

I got hooked on using primed brass when a friend asked me to load his new primed brass because it was seizing on the expanding die on his LEE press
I removed the decapping pin and went through 1000...

I got the CH press for nothing and I have spent a whole $25 to convert it to small primers.
I had a MK5 and it was junk, the priming system on the MK3 Is totally different and better!

My 1050 are from the late 80s and are chrome plated, one is the first one I ever operated at a friend’s house and the other is the first one that I bought shortly afterwards.
I had 3 of them at one...

The 1050 has a good priming system and if I had processed brass I would use the priming system but I don’t have access to a brass processor so this is the next best thing!

I have to pull bullets if the case is cracked or has the “Glock Bulge”
I run my primed brass through a case gauge before expanding, dropping powder and seating a bullet.

I load a few 9mm on my Dillon 1050 for practice ammunition.
The most common problem is the priming step.
Primers being expensive and not wanting to pull a bunch of bullets I have been depriming...

I am interested in parts!

Not too long ago, maybe 30 years ago, I was buying lead and WW for a nickel or ten cents a pound.
I sold some rather than move it for 25 cents a pound only to find out that it was going for a dollar...

I have converted Lyman, SAECO and RCBS for my automatic machines and most recently my Master Caster.
Lyman and RCBS are soft, SAECO and H&G are the best.
Magma used SAECO when they started making...

Are they MK3,4 or 5?

Prayers sent!

So each box contains 1000 bullets?

I am working on a Spanish Destroyer Carbine in 9mm Luger!
Bolts are unavailable so I’m making one, actually 3.
Long drawn out project!

Got a great deal on some brass!

I understand that you don’t want to shoot 44 Special brass out of your 44 Mag but it is no different than shooting 38s in a 357.
44 Special is less available now than it was in the early 80s when I...

Where is my brass?
I paid you on 3/25!
