I have to stop everyone here.
RCBS might be a great company, but they seriously need to reconsider how they do business.

You can put water onto molten lead, it will dance around and steam away. The problem is when it is trapped inside something and you put it suddenly into the lead and it does not have time to escape,...

IIRC, if you still wanted to water quench, then you should fire your pills up to about 400 deg for an hour (after being coated and after sizing) and then after that hour, take them out and...

I mainly agree, but my logic is more towards- Not perfectly round? Then after it comes out of the sizer it should be close to being perfectly round. Else it is time to get a new sizer... I DO...

I do not care HOW heavy duty it says it is. When I see a C frame press, I just laugh and think only good for sizing bullets and decapping... Seriously, I hate C frames. Even though that does look...

Seriously man? Smoke sells Clear and it is cool. For more business colors though, Look for BLACK CHROME, BONDED BLACK CHROME, BLACK CHROME II, SOLAR RAIN, and whatever else floats yer boat. I REALLY...

I gotta agree and that is SOLID. If you intend to push PC over 2500 FPS in MY book, then move to J-words. I will cast a lot of x39 for the AK because most of my AK rounds I expect to go around 2200...

Well folks. I got my press in and I have my invoice and I am freaking impressed with this thing. I did not yet take it out of the box but boy is it heavy. It must be close to 25 lbs or more for the...

There really is not a lot. Think about it, knock out the primer and where the primer was, it is clean... (usually) But it is still just caked on dust for the most part.

I am a little confused.
Why would anyone run their uniflow or LNL dropper on a stand above the press when they can buy case activated linkage and mount it directly to the press? Heck, even without...
