You should have no problem sizing down. I cast the lee 356-120. It comes out 125 gr and I size down to .358 for .38 and .357 or .356 for 9 with the alloy I ise.

Nice, that is pretty slick. I will have to check out their site.

That wrench is pretty weak. I wonder if someone make an aluminum one with a longer handle?
Forum: Our Town
Just got an email that my order has shipped, very nice.
I have quite a bit of their equipment mostly for casting. I only have a few of their dies sets, but the ones I have are decent.

I use the Lee bench primer as I feel it does the best job for my needs. Saturday I was apparently being ham fisted and the casting broke just above where the shell holder sits.
I sent them an...

I received my lead this week ma'am. As always a great product that is well priced and convenient to receive. Thank you very much.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thank you for sharing this information sir. That looks easy enough to make. I'm going to start sourcing the parts. I may already have a power pack, and definitely plenty of wire. May even have a...

So your trickler reads your scale with an auto switch? That is very cool, I will need to look into that.
The new digi is on hold for now anyway. Spent my play $ on components, found some primers,...

New batteries and a recalibration did not solve the issue. Pretty sure it is cooked. I have had it for a while, perhaps 4 years or so.
Thanks for the info so far fellas. I have looked at the a&d...

Good afternoon gentlemen,
I was casting up some of the lee 310gr 44 boolits this morning as well as some 180gr 40's. After I ran a few pots and got them sorted I weighed them up.

I am a fan of the cordless tools. I did not like the dewalt 20v when they first came out, but now when I need a tool I see if they make one. I have several of the flexvolt 60v tools as well. The 7.25...

I have been able to buy about a brick a month or so from our local reloading shop. They are staying consistent at 70$ a brick.
I did pay the 100$ fee for a few brick from a couple different places a...

How I do it is take pic with phone. Then email with phone to myself. When sending to myself it allows me to shrink the file size to small, medium, or large. Medium size seems to work most of the...

This last batch looks like business as usual. Cleaning the drum and pins cleared it all up. Thanks again gents.
I hope this helps someone else when they have brass not coming clean.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Cleaning the pins and drum most definitely helped. The water was black coming out of it. I have a fresh batch of brass in there now. I changed it up a bit to see if it helps, much less acid and I...

Good video, interesting indeed. It looks like I'm on the right track cleaning the drum with the purple stuff based on this fellas video. I will report how it looks when I clean it out. The drum did...

Here it is after I just unloaded it. Real clean and shiny, but has a more copper look to it than yellow brass. Same thing, ones on the right are ready to be cleaned.
I have just the pins...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
So still super weird. Ran the thing for an hour with no pins and dawn and acid. They started to shine up but still looked weird. Rinsed well then a run of just dawn, then they came out clean but...

No steel brass. This is all lake city brass, that is mostly factory fired or reloaded by me once. I cut the crimps on all pieces, I am certain it started as regular old American made yellow brass.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Also, this is the small plastic frankfort tumbler.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
The brass is in the rotary now with just dawn and acid, no pins. I will see shortly if it shines up.
I don't think there is anything wrong woth the brass at this point it just looks weird.

The brass on the left is what came out. Brass on the right is prepped and ready to be washed. Only has spray lube on it otherwise fairly clean. The black crud that was in the tumbler is...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Good morning gents,
I have been using one of the small rotary tumblers with pins, dawn, and food grade citric for some time now. I believe my pins have worn out. Not rounded or...

Great, thanks fellas. That is what I thought and exactly what I'm after. I powder coated them for a hard candy shell and wanted them to stay nice and soft for expansion.
