I'm in a battle right now with a guy who was suppose to have shipped me some cast boolits two weeks ago but the USPS tracking continues to state "awaiting item". He says he shipped 'em but even when...
I've purchased 38 special brass from https://www.starlinebrass.com/ in the past, and according to them, the +P on the head stamp is for the purpose of segregating your hot +P loads from your...

Now see, that's what makes this site awesome. Ya take something and improve on it. The drum stool base is much better, and the net is much larger. I have to waste a few test shots to get mine set...

Exactly what I was looking for years ago before I did the...

I didn't know that, thanks, but after looking at it online, I'm still happy with mine. I load for 9 different calibers and tapped their shell holders and use just that one arbor for all of them....

I appreciate your interest. I thought maybe the lacquer played a role but I don't think it did b/c I just dust them with it once real fast, I mean to where you'd think you didn't put any on. I body...

Never be afraid to think outside the box right? I put them in my lathe chuck and using the tail stock, ran a standard HSS cut tap right thru, with a little cutting oil of course. I too wasn't sure if...

The primer drop thru hole happens to be 5/16" which is the drill diameter for a 3/8-16 thread.

I thought I was the only one who did that. PITA but well worth it I feel. I also do it to brass that gets dry tumbled too, no unexpected surprises that way.

Getting rid of the O2 seems to work well it seems. I'm going to give my kitchen vacuum sealer a try with my pistol brass.

My boat has yet to come in (I think it sank) so I have to rely on blind luck for any wins like that.

I got lucky a few years ago and was asked if I was interested in a slightly used Dillon press by a co-worker. He brought it in and it turns out to be a Dillon square deal B from the early nineties,...

The method I wanted to mention is for finish loaded rounds. I anneal all my rifle brass after it's dry from wet tumbling, which could cook off any wax or polish plus I lube for sizing and then wipe...

Wow, they look great. When you say "soak in carwash/wax" do you mean straight up or a cap full mixed with a gallon of water? And how long?
