It is a 1/2 ton or one ton Harbor Freight press. I can't remember which one. I use a 2 ton Jet model. More than needed. But I get to use it for free.

When a brass cartridge is fired in a gun the brass will swell to the diameter of the chamber and then it will shrink back down a little. This allows the brass case to eject from the chamber. In a...

LeadJunkie, I used a live center in the bridgeport to tap my top plate. I used a large adjustable wrench. I had someone else hold down on the quill while I turned the tap. Wasn't to bad. When I made...
Nice job Ben. It looks like he will be ready to go. My father had powder measures made like that. You could even use that set up at the range.
Forum: Cast Boolits
On overcast or light rainy days I am glad to get outside and cast some boolits. Cooler weather just goes with a hot casting pot. I think I have more patience on days like that.
Got some lead from bushwack. Fast shipping and the weight was on the money. I would do business with bushwack again.

My father used to have one a long time ago. It was in a light green box. He always used 3 in one oil in it.

What kind of lubrication do I need for the rubber seal on the lube pressure assembly.
Will Plumbers Silicone Grease work without contaminating the boolit lube or the gun powder.

I use the Lee Auto prime also. I have been using it since I started reloading. You can go thru 100 primers in no time at all. I tried the priming ram on single stage press once, never used it again.
