I was trying to set up loading for my grandsons 9mm, and found a set of RCBS dies, missing the decaping stem. I called the company and the lady asked me what kind of box the dies came in, I could...

Porthos, the video you mention was one I viewed while researching my build. A good simple version. I wanted an automatic feed on mine, so I decided to couple the feed and anneal functions with a cog...

This is a post to attach a PDF file of a construction article for a brass annealer. With the help of Steve O'Brian, who reduced the file size so it would fit, it is attached. Administrator, can...

Copy sent by email, let me know if you got it and what you think of it.

Nueces5, Benjamin,
I have sent the annealer writeup to you via email, let me know if you get it. I would like to post it here, but think its too big (1.36mb)

Steve

Does anyone know if there are carbide expander buttons for Hornady dies?

Steve

I have written up a construction article to build an annealer, a bit more sophisticated than the one in the YouTube video. Be happy to send a copy to you if you like.

Shanghai Jack, how many do you want? I can get about 20 in a SFRB, I have 40 or 50 to give away. I will PM you my Address and PayPal info, PM me your snail mail address so I can mail them to you.

my son bought a Sporter, and using it for his hi-powered rifles we had some problems fitting it. (flash hider problems) Also I was afraid the weight of the sporter on the barrel would affect the...

I built my annealer from the basic idea put out by "Skip the Australian" many years ago, I used a cog belt drive to keep the pickup drum and the annealing pan in sync. I got most of the parts from...

I have been making powder funnels for my Dillon 450, here is a sketch I made for two from information provided by a member, it is in the last post (#12 ) of the thread. I use case dimensions from...

Offer still stands, the cardboard box I have them in is overflowing!

Remey2424, no I don't have a single stage available. That with the correct flat top shell holder would have worked fine. I have a Herters 234 6 position press I use as a single stage when I need...

M-Tecs, yes I am talking about the thread relief on the mouth of the die, it is not there. The tech said the Dillon I was using (450) could not be used with the 38LM, but I could use them on a RCBS...

I have just tooled up to load 338 Lapua Magnum for my son (what a monster case!), who is into long range shooting. He bought a set of RCBS dies, but when I tried to use them, they wouldn't resize...

Froggie,
with an OD of 1.095" it sounds like you have a 1 1/8 x 28 od thread, which is an odd one. Have to get a machinist to make one.

Steve

No interest in these from all the cast boolit shooters here? Hate to throw them away.

Steve

Overkill,
Mine are the Freestyle type, same as yours. Not big enough for your needs, sorry.

Steve

lign,
In reply to your question, I was trying to melt lead lumps and antimony lumps at the same time in a stainless cooking pot. when the antimony got to a hot (lead was already melted)...

Butzbach,
In the years of using them I have never noticed any tendency to generate static electricity. Also, they contain test strips that go into an electronic reader, I would think the...

I am diabetic and my test strips come in small plastic tubes with captive caps, just the right size for die body and pusher. I sent a box of them to a guy here a few years ago, he was pleased with...

Many years ago, I was into casting heavily and wanted to add antimony to some lead. I found that trying to melt antimony released LOTS of fumes (antimony oxide?) that could not be good for someone.
