copdills- Try Precision Reloading or Ballistic Products for the brass crimp starter. That's where I got mine a couple of years ago. Grant you they're not cheap but doubt if you could wear one out....

albunaitoo- I feel the pain, living in the last frontier is much the same. Some companies won't do USPS either. Call them on the phone requesting USPS, and they say sorry that's their policy,...

am44mag- If you've stayed with Ben's recipe wouldn't need a heater except if you're working in 40 deg or below temps. Ben's Red is a softish lube. I use it in a lyman 450. Haven't had any problems...

map- RCBS handles are the way to go, for NEI Molds, however, if your looking to purchase a new NEI Mold. I would check out the threads on them, the "old"ones, when Walt Melander made them were very...

Don- Also be advised that some lubes expand with heat and also thin out a little bit too, of course this all depends on the lube. I use Ben's Red in mine, and since it's still in the 30's at night I...
