I toss those in the scrap bucket. There are some other brands with a fine line in the case to prevent set back that don't matter as long as I am not loading 147 grain bullets for the suppressed SMG....

I used Starline .45-90 to make mine. I turn down the rims then anneal before doing the reforming. I used .45-70 culls to work out the process as I have a lot of that laying around. The neck is...

The only time I have had head separations in my M-16 was with two lots of surplus LC-73 and LC-74 ammo. About 1% of them separated at the anneal line on the case. Most came out when the next case...

If you stick brass in steel, put die in freezer. Brass contracts a little faster than steel.

I have done an 80% and started on the 0% then moved and haven't restarted it. A lot of work on the 0%. The 80% receivers offered now have the most difficult stuff done unlike the one I did. I just...

I find that too loose heads on my 650 caused brass to get smashed when going fast. I tightened them up and very rarely do I crumple cases any more. There is already some slop in the shell plate so...

If it is paint and not powder coat, the answer is maybe. It depends on what paint they used as some are sensitive to some solvents others aren't. If your just cleaning, using simple green...

A great upgrade for the mini mill from Little Machine Shop is the metal gears and belt drive conversion. Taking too big a bite and breaking teeth off the stock plastic gears means disassembly and...

I made a similar jig to cut 50 Alaskan down to 50 Danish for my Rolling block except I have to pull the cases out due to the rim. Mine was wood because I only need to do 50 cases. Really liked the...

Saw dust, bee's wax, bullet lube, oily saw dust. They all work, but I found that saw dust is the least offensive if the wind changes when you are on the wrong side of the pot. Find someone who does...

I pull all the zinc WW out first. I don't get many zinc ones as my brother tries not to put any in his bucket at work, but occasionally someone else tosses some in. I still sort through them all...

Uberti 1873 in .357 shoot great with BP in a 38 case with heavy bullet, never shot it with anything else.

As far as you can hit a 10" circle everytime off hand with the load of your choice. Most people have trouble with 100 offhand because they spend their life leaning on a bench. I can hit my dad's...

I already reload .30-30 for a Contender. I figure if a .30-30 out of a 12" barrel will drop a deer just fine then 26" will be that much better. I already reload for so many calibers that it is...

I checked Flintlocks, etc and they had the .38-55. I will call them when I finish getting my workshop straightened out and see if they can get me one. I assume it wil be months if they can. I have...

Usually it is 30/70 tin/lead. If it is used body solder and was applied correctly, it will have more tin and some zinc in it from the tinning butter used in the application process.

My dad has taken around 70 deer and a couple of black bear with his. His original is on an old Mauser action that he bought through the mail and had rebarreled when he was 13. His new one is a...

If it is tight it should be safe for BP.
