I bought the 750 after having the 550 and a rock chucker for a few years.
Set it up with a case feeder and printed bullet feeder and it's almost too easy. I had to get the DAA short powder bar to...

You really have to cast oversized stock and turn it on a lathe.
Casting bronze/brass/copper does not have great surface finish. You can get close with plaster investment, but shrinkage comes in to...

There is a complete set of rcbs 45 shotshell dies on eBay right now. $300 but they don't make them anymore.
Still. I have two sets and I paid $75 for one and around 200 for the other.

You might benefit from a PID. It keeps the temp within a few degrees of where you set it, regardless of how full or empty the pot is.

I have the 750 with case feeder and bullet feeder. I leave it set up for 9mm and sometimes switch to 223. I use my 550 way way more. Load .38, 357 SIG, 357 mag, .40, .45 on the 550. Rock chucker for...

In the case of the 45-70 they shorten the case of the lever revolution rounds to make them feed and cycle with the ogive of that bullet. I can't speak to the 500. I have only dealt with shor 45-70...

No lube grove molds release bullets a lot easier, but they can only be used for pc and you limit your resale audience. I have several of them from mp and really like them.

The advantage I have found is that my MP NLG molds do seem to release bullets better than my LG molds. My mp 311-180 is the hardest to shake out and in my 9mm and .40 nlg molds the jump out on their...

No fires in CA as of yet, but it's going to be a hard year for fires. It's already hot and dry for the time of year, and we didn't get much rain.
Oroville is at 42%

The time to buy a tundra was late 2019 early 2020. I put 15 down on my 2019 limited TRD, to get the payment down to $600, and got 0% financing for 60 months. My co workers uncle owns two Toyota...

Yes it is a .375 brass gas check, and yes the rcbs shot shell dies do form the brass down. You can use 45 mag brass or cut down 308 brass and a few others. The brass forming Is really done in two...
