A little late; I have a Dillon Super Swage as well as the Hornady primer pocket reamers which are very nice tools. They're made from tool steel and are very sharp. It's impossible to cut too deeply...

After casting a batch one time it was a few weeks before they were sized. No attempt to heat treat; I just got busy with other things. The boolits unfortunately age hardened very well. I was...

100% I agree completely.

A few years ago a friend gave me some ingots that he had made from COWW. The metal didn't cast well and had inclusions. After I fluxed the mix with sawdust the boolits...

I got one from AM-Autoparts through eBay 14 months ago. It's a tri-fold cover with an aluminum frame and it unlatches from inside the bed. If your tailgate is locked it provides at least some...

As others have said, it's good until it splits. That's how I determine the life of .40 S&W. Nothing bad happens at .40 pressure levels when the brass splits. It usually splits in the middle of the...

Evapo-Rust works safely even on items that have great precision. It lasts a very long time if you only put grease and oil free steel into it. It does not convert rust into magnetite or some other...

What a huge disappointment. I have some of their smaller tools and they are all first class.

Yes. I got lucky two nights ago. Even though I had my glasses on a hot chip off of the lathe made it under the bill of my cap and down inside the safety glasses which were not as close to my face as...

I was given a fun little project that could be started and finished in an evening. The guys needed two replacement screws that retain part of the windage adjustment mechanism in the big bracket that...

For anyone that's interested, one of the battleship volunteers has a YouTube channel that has very high quality information on the ship. Tom puts a huge amount of work into every video.

LOL! I'm not sure that would constitute a primer charge!

Off the top of my head, probably a pair of 1907 Brazilian Mausers or maybe my 1893 Marlin in 32-40 but I can't remember at the moment the year of manufacture of the Marlin.

It will, but it's not nearly as satisfying and seeing the hit.

After reading the entire thread twice:
Randy Buchanan didn't write anything that I questioned in the least. I also started loading the .40 S&W in 2007 but I've loaded about 100,000 rounds; all but...

Before ammunition got so incredibly expensive in recent years it made no economic sense to hand load 9mm. The cost of a primer and any factory made bullet exceeded the price of the loaded round. I...

We had an interesting project yesterday. I'm not sure how it happened; I usually get called in after-the-fact. Somehow a massive bronze casting was bent while removing the shaft from it and in the...

Not related to shipping; in New Mexico when "universal background checks were implemented. That meant that anyone handling a firearm that doesn't belong to them is a transfer and requires a...

Charcoal lighter fluid on a towel works well for me.

I'm a retired IT professional and looking at Linux before I'll go to Windows 11.

I was a huge fan for a long time. He lost me and a lot of my Parrothead friends when he got political. Still, I'm saddened at his passing.

The coil would probably burn out instantly and it might be pretty spectacular. If someone was injured by you putting 110VAC to the coil it's likely that you would be prosecuted.

Fortunately I...

It’s been mentioned. My experience with a vented portable is underwhelming. Dropped the room temperature all the way to 82-85 degrees when it was 95-98 outside. It was not inexpensive, either.

I bought oil already. Still working on the “permanent” installation; should have all the parts in later today. I’m going with Milton Highflow V fittings simply because I like the way the collar...

Unexpected followup: I still hadn't gotten around to buying an air compressor. I had to allow for all the setup time as well. Fast forward, the next door neighbor was having a pool party. I asked...

I have a number of powder measures. The RCBS Uniflow is by far my least favorite because throws can vary as much as 0.5 grain with extruded powders like H4895. It’s just not as consistent as the...
