I use koolade instead of lemmishine. It is mostly citric acid and works great. Goofy Grape seems to work the best. (just kidding). I too, was disappointed with how quickly the clean brass tarnished....

I know that you said you wanted a made in USA, older mic but I just wanted to throw out what I have and am quite pleased with them: (the VME brand)

Take the following with a grain of salt Gentlemen:
In the late 80's or early 90's? Federal began producing their primers in the large square boxes (trays) we are now familiar with. They were no...

Even so, what could explain the .41 mold throwing boolits smaller than advertised, but another Lee mold produced boolits in the proper dimension?

I will check the plate though it functioned properly. I poured until it would take no more and an adequate sized puddle formed on the sprue plate.

Dipper. I tried several. One which held enough for two cavities, and another which would pour 6.

I bought a Lee 2 cavity mold for my newly aquired S&W .41 mag. Since no one has jacketed boolits or even loaded ammo for that matter. I have been reloading for many years, and casting (off and on)...

I reload a dozen different calibers and have done so for a long time. I have Hornady, Redding, Lee, RCBS, CH, Herters and Dillon as well as variations that they made over the years. Some of which are...

Add me to the "recommend Lee Classic Turret" crowd. If in doubt its the Lee turret with the thinner base. Don't get the tall one. In a pinch you can use it as a single stage by removing the rod that...

Top punch 187. I can't find its application. The numbers are stamped on the top of the stem Lyman style.

No mold, no nothing firearm related except a cottage cheese container of old lubed cast boolitz and an oddball assortment of a dozen pieces of brass. Which my buddy bought.

I will take some pics...

Shooting buddy told me about two rusty bullet sizers at a yard sale. He went on to say the seller was going to sell everything that didnt sell, for scrap. On arrival the seller lifted a tarp on...

You found a really good deal. The heavy pills will drop a bear in its tracks.

Somewhere, recently, I saw a recoil spring checker. I believe it was on a website of a small factory that may have made molds or other items of interest to cast boolit shooters. If you know of this...

If there is any chance you have some shooting buddies who *might* pay you 1 cent per case to swage their brass it might be worthwhile to buy the Dillon swage. I mean to say if there is enough...

A flash hole uniformer would stop the pin from pulling out. Polishing the pin would likely solve the problem. As would a 1/16" drill bit. I wonder if you might be adjusting the decapping pin down...

I may buy one for my 4 hole Lee. Cut it and my old handle and weld them together. hmmmm.

^ I really like the Royal case lube. Prior to finding it, I used Imperial and the Hornady wax. The Royal is superior to both, and they are superior to any spray or commerical tube type lube.

I mounted my Lyman 45 like bobkk suggested only I mounted it to a block of aluminum that I previously used as a heat sink for a laptop. I use a strong "C" clamp to hold it to my bench then I place a...

Measure a sampling of the primers. With a Micrometer, not a caliper. If they are consistent try running your RCBS swager a little deeper. What brand of primers are they?

I do the same thing but I stand the cases up in a cake pan of water. I put templac on a few of the cases so I can judge the duration of the flame. When the proper temp/time is achieved I just flick...

You're welcome, and thanks for the proceedure. What else do you make? Wish I could have ordered it direct rather than through a middle man.

I took out the screw and the plug in the muzzle end of the magazine tube. The spring came out but the magazine follower stops about a inch or so, from coming out. For some reason I want to replace it...

Sharpie. I have a master list on paper of dates. My Linotype came to me in a plastic trash can. I leave it in there and use it as needed. My solder bars stay in bars until needed. I have some...

Yep, plumbing lead is my guess for the square ones with the raised lettering. It seems to me that my pure lead ingots turn dark grey much quicker than alloy ingots.
