    I’ve had both. Prefer the RCBS by a wide margin, especially if casting a large number of heavy bullets.

    Just for EVERYONE’s awareness, I’ll wait until the mailman (person) comes Saturday, 21 September to see if the promised payment arrives.

    FWIW, I quit with matches years ago. A cheap disposable butane lighter has a MUCH better shelf life than the new strike anywhere matches. You can get them wet, and they’ll still light.

    There is a lot of good info from previous posts. Loading for the .35 can be a little more problematic WRT setting up your sizing die. Size too much, and you get excess headspace, and dud rounds. ...

    If the firing pin hole is too large for the firing pin (or conversely the firing pin worn/too small for the hole), primer material can flow like what is shown in your pictures. If it is doing that...
