I’m not too worried if it’s just hitek coating. Just didn’t want it to be pitting from rust or I would have to change my storage method. I do think that I’m getting some hitek coating film in the...

Just was cleaning my SA 1911 barrel after a shooting session with my daughter and noticed some sparkles in the barrel after cleaning that I thought was dust. Well it defiantly is not dust. I can’t...

The dirty 45 brass I just deprimed yesterday had about every round sticking. I stretched out the spring ( boy was it hard getting back in) and got down to about every two sticking. I then gave the...

Over the past 8 years, I have been tumbling in stainless steel media. I know it’s unnecessary, so anybody who wants to comment on that can save your breath. I’ve never considered myself to being a...

Well I just got done depriming half a container of primers worth of 9mm cases. The only thing that broke was the little hook on the case inserter carriage. I 3D printed another one and completed the...

That’s pretty sweet GWS. I built my own bullet sizing press out of a car strut and some 1/8” steel, boxed into a press shape and then was trying to build a self feed to feed in bullets when I saw the...

I do understand you GWS. I have a lot of lee stuff because it was extremely affordable. It just surprised me that Lee took a really good product that had hordes of great reviews and then started...

I think it was 3 thin coats. You could still see the lead after first coat and two more coats of the same thickness. Some of the sized bullets you can see some lead through the coating like it is...

It’s been about 1.5-2 years since I cast and coated these. I cast some 10 mm during the same session and they don’t look oxidized yet. I will throw them in some muratic acid for a while and see what...

Well I guess I’m headed back to the drawing board again. Just got a new toy and loaded up some bullets I’ve had sitting a while. I had thought they had passed all the test back when I made them but...

After wet tumbling, I have started to throw the bras in the dry media with car polish for a few minutes. It puts a bit of a coating on that helps with sizing and also keeps it from oxidizing so...

Quick question for the masters. I got some mold release a while back and it works wonders on my molds. I have a Dillon 550b and my powder funnel sometimes starts sticking to the inside of my pistol...

Be carful stretching springs. I was stretching one last night with pliers on one end and holding the other with my hand. The pliers let loose at full stretch and the thumb got a nice round chunk of...

I’ve been using freeCAD, to modify STL‘s also. What I do is make a mesh out of the STL then make an object out of the mesh and then refine the object. The problems I’ve been running into doing this...

I have a 550 that I got back in 1990. It is my reloading tool. The lee APP is to do processing work. It sizes my bullets and deprimes my dirty brass so I don’t have all that crud getting on my 550. I...

I purchased the Lee APP press a few years ago, and it was wonderful for depriming brass, and sizing bullets. It worked so well in fact that since then I have been going to buy another one so I do...

Setting up my new Lee APP press, to use the collator and APP printed parts and I just noticed Lee really cheaped out on the upgraded Lee APP. I had one from a few years ago and the one I got last...

I just printed the APP main bracket and was wondering what this recess and hole are for. I assume it’s for a captured nut and thumb screw. Am I correct? 323631

The boards look almost identical from the picture Kausit posted and the HW-0516 besides the soldered holes in the upper left corner just above the SIGN block. In Kausits picture they have solder in...

Looking at the timer relay and other ones like it, I am wondering if this one isn’t a solid state relay. I don’t see a relay contact box on the board and it does say in the description that it...

Looks like about 6.18 on Amazon for the one shown.
I think the positive thing about it is that it makes noise less often. With my app sizer I pretty much keep up with the drops so it constantly...

That’s what I figured but I guess with all my bullets they are about 16 mm high or shorter so by the time they would even touch the wall they would be already stuck in the hole. I did see where...

Just been looking for a few hours on the bullet nose down slider plate development and can’t find out where it started and why there is a little wall in front of the drop hole. Is it a handle? I...
