I agree with this. OR, you could be like those terrible "hoarders" everyone is complaining about who just buy up whatever they can, whenever they can, needed or not, instead of as quoted post above...

Kinda funny this comes up. I just two day's ago took a full pickup load of old rusty bolts, nuts, machine bolts of all sizes, two half kegs of nails (nobody uses nails anymore except, in a nail gun)...

Instructions say to trim to 20thou under maximum length. Notice that is 10thou under most trim to length in reloading manuals. I have a set but think at a "normal" trim to length I'll lose/or replace...

The new Lee lock rings I have are a locking type. They are split ring with a screw. Work just like any other brand of split lock ring. The ones I don't care for are RCBS that run the lock screw into...

I just use a large bolt that matches the press threads and thread it into the press, place a flat piece of metal on top of the ram, set the bullet on that and use the press's leverage. That's after...

The "central cylinder" is called the ram. There is a 7/16 bolt at the bottom of the ram to tighten the shell plate "platform". Adjust the "flipper" on the index rod per instructions and then tighten...

Well, I'd tell you all about the fish I caught just this last week but you probably wouldn't believe me......:groner:

I have two SS presses. A Lee Classic Cast and a Forster Co-Ax. If I were looking today for a new one I'd take a hard look at the MEC Marksman. I think that one would be hard to beat. In fact I'm...

Perhaps I shouldn't venture into this question but I wonder what the rules of engagement would be in this situation? A guy has a crowbar in his hands and you request he turn it over (as stated in...
The RCBS 1500 "trickles" powder quite well as it nears the selected charge weight. And I do use the "McDonalds straw mod".
I "calibrated" the scales using increasing amounts of check weights. Two...
I don't know why some have so much trouble with electronic scales. I have two, an RCBS Chargemaster 1500 and an RCBS 750 Rangemaster. I also have three BB scales, an RCBS 1010, a Hornady and an old...

I deprime them, clean them, load them, then shoot them. If you can see a difference on target by sorting your pistol brass you're a better shot than me. :lol:

If you're willing to do a bit of work (very little) and have drill bits and some taps, is to take the smallest cavity on the disc, drill a hole into it, tap it for whatever size bolt you wish, thread...

For 22LR I would use CCI 40gr. Stingers.....as for shooting a Black Bear with a 158gr. HARD bullet at 1000fps it will work. Hard for penetration, and a black bears skull is not made of titanium that...
There still seems to be a "bit" of confusion between these two. Without getting into "used to be" and "now is", the easy way to tell which you have is look at the label on the container. If it's from...

Rcmaveric, I really like what you said. Made me sit back and think. I will no longer involve myself in these type threads. When I look back at my first response, while I meant no offense, it seems...

[QUOTE=Fly;4786145]I have been reloading for many, many years. I have always bought Lee dies for cost quality, ect. The only times I have

While it's true that Trail Boss powder is more expensive than most others it's no where near twice as expensive. A pound of Red Dot at 22.00 dollars a pound (16oz) vs Trail Boss at 16.00 per 9oz....

Hornady also makes a "cowboy" die set for 45 colt, 357mag, and 44mag. I have each and they do a good job with their larger diameters when using "oversize" cast bullets. They are a tall die though if...

All interesting thoughts and ideas about bullet hardness. I recall watching a video of Bob Munden where he was "showin' his stuff". During the video he mentioned he was using 250gr. Lazer Cast...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
If you want to "practice" with your 629 go shoot some targets at different distances. If you want to hunt rabbits to eat (which is why you should shoot them) then use a 22LR or a 410. If you just...

It would be hard to pick one. To many choices.

Dillon 550b, RCBS Pro 2000, and a Lee Load Master I use for 9mm. The RCBS is the best of those. I will add I've owned several LM's over the years and know how to make them work very well. I have...

It took 13 years to draw a tag. 13 years. Take the 06', it's the best of the bunch you're contemplating. Load up some 180 grain Accubonds and go kill an Elk. The 7 would be my second choice with...
