I tried going back to my FreeChex II the other day just for comparisons sake. The FreeChex III has got me way too spoiled.

I agree that using the FreeChex III so that the checks fall out is a much better way to go. I am going to try and figure a way to use my prototype this way in the arbor press. It shouldn't be too...

I have used a dab of superglue on a lot of bullets that I haven't bothered to size. I haven't noticed a problem with them, but your bad experience will cause me to experiment a little more and take...

I am really glad that you are enjoying your tool also. I think your drill press sounds like a better set up than my arbor press. I used to go with 1" strips because there is less waste, but I would...

The thing that people seem to forget is that developing these systems was more complex and took much longer to perfect than what is apperant by just looking at them. I followed Pat's development...

Your experience with Charlie and impression of him is the same as mine. I have never actually spoken with him; we have communicated only through email. After he sent me one of his Freechex III...

First let me say that I admire both Charlie and Pat Marlin a great deal. If it is a choice between a FreeChex I or II and the Checkmaker there might be some question. Now that Charlie has started...

I am glad you enjoyed the video Maven.

I paid only $49 for my arbor press at Harbor Freight and about $20 for the paper cutter. If you cut the material using something other than a paper cutter,...

So now I am being sarcastically accused of some sort of bias? Interesting. It is very difficult for me not to be highly enthusiastic over Charlie's most recent innovation. Using it I can make a...

So you don't think that Accusing someone of engaging in fraudulant activity such as driving up the price of an auction with shills, or co-conspiraters is shabby treatment? If you read through some...

You won't be dissapointed! Charlie sent me a prototype of the Freechex III a few months ago. It has slightly different dimensions than the finished design, but it is just plain amazing. I can churn...

Approximately two years ago I purchased a FreeChex II from a guy named Charlie on Ebay to make gas checks for my cast bullets. It is a great tool which I...

I posted the youtube video several months ago. I got an email from Charlie the inventor/manufacturer tonight. I thought it might include some useful information to some of those reading the thread....

My feeling is that things are starting to loosen up a little. The primers I back-ordered from Cabellas in April have mostly all showed up now. I have been getting more frequent email notices from...

I've been using the 30 cal Freechex II that I bought from Charlie on Ebay for several months now. I put the video up on youtube using the tool with a Harbor Freight arbor press. ...

They were available from MidwayUSA for about six hours last week. I tried to cancel my back-ordered since March handles when I got their email notice since I already had received the others. When I...

I am using homemade aluminum gas checks with the Lee 155gr mold. I put a drop of 3 for a dollar super glue on the base. Then I put the point of the bullet in a small hole in my bench and tap the...

An AK is ideal for cast bullets. They shoot more accurately than jacketed.

I have a Lee hardness tester also. In chapter 10 of of Richard Lee's book Modern Reloading 2nd ed., pages 129 - 139 the subject of bullet hardness is discussed in detail. There is a chart on page...

Good luck on your Factory Sales Order! I haven't had good luck with them in the past. Things I have ordered directly from Lee Precision have shown up quickly even when they warned me it would take...

Are they going to start making primers out of zinc?

I bought some supplies from Lee Factory Sales a few months ago. I waited for about a month. When the order showed up, half of the items were back-ordered with no estimate of when they would arrive....

I paid 40 cents a pound the other day at the recycler near my home. I have a mechanic friend that comes through for me with free wheel weights every once in a while. The recycler lets me pick...

I went ahead and tried forming my gas checks by placing the tool directly on the arbor plate and pressing the gas check against the hard surface. With the material that I am currently using it is...

I really like the idea. I just about broke my back yesterday at the metal recycling place. All of their wheel weights were in a giant four foot high card board box. Last time I wasn't as picky and...
