The Labradar works very well. There is one exception, it doesn't do well with Bluetooth connections. Apple or Samsung, it will connect, then lose it.
The company is said to be working on an updated...

I tried some of Smoke's powders, Carolina Blue for the first batch.

I smashed one of them to make sure it worked well.

Just did ten at first, to make sure I had everything right and working. ...

I was a pipefitter for over 40 years. Used gauntlet type mill gloves for most of that time. They work well for smelting, too.

I like the idea of tig gloves for actual casting, though. That makes...

I've been waiting for a couple of Dillon calendars since early December. They're listed as 'accepted' by USPS since 12-3.

They're still in Phoenix, at least according the the USPS tracking....

I have one of Giraud's Triway for .308, which I use in a small drill press.

For my benchrest rifles I use the World's Finest Trimmer 2, which has removable 'chamber's. I put it into a cordless...

Did you ever see that Robin Williams video about the Scotsman inventing golf?

It's hilarious if you haven't.

Every golfer I showed it to cracked up laughing, and so did a couple of friends of...

I have one of his moulds, with another on the way. Quality items, to be sure.

I'm sure there will be more in the future.

I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday. They have beeswax both white and yellow, for $10.50 per pound. They also have paraffin wax 4 pounds for $15.99.

This is in northern IL outside Chicago.

I recently bought some 7.62 x 51 brass, once fired. I've been sizing / trimming / etc for the last couple of weeks. When I get done, I'm going to have LOTS of brass to load for that caliber. It's all...

I was having an issue with the primer feed on one of my presses. I fixed that and then loaded around 85 rounds of 230 LRN. When the weather breaks a bit, I'll shoot them. I need to function test an...

I've had several acquaintances over the years want me to "load some up for me" and I used the no license argument. I usually got the ol' "who's gonna know?" line in return. I'll know, and if anything...

I own 550s and the T-7. While I really like both systems, the speed of the Dillon is superior to the turret. I use the turret for my bolt guns mostly. High volume stuff such as handguns and the AR...

I have the same bench, it's been great. I actually have two of them, one without the top hutch. That one holds my vise, drill press, bench grinder and casting equipment. You can never have enough...

2 Dillon 550Bs, one for large and one for small primers.
1 Redding T-7 turret with an extra turret
1 RCBS Reloader Special single stage

The Dillons are on strong mounts, and the other two share...

Until today, I had never seen an autodrive in action. I think I'll keep my stuff manual, thanks very much. Yikes, that had to sting a bit. It was certainly painful to look at.

Back then we still had honest money, too. Silver coins, rather than the gussied up slugs we're using these days. Look at the prices those same coins demand these days.

I built one over 10 years ago, and it's been great. Looking back, I agree with the 8 feet dimension. I should have done that as well. Things accumulate. I then built another one to the same...

Try Ames Metals in Chicago. It's near 43rd and Western.

They have bullet alloy already made, or they did when I called them last.

It's hard to say. I'm 61, and just came across a find of 1000# of pure lead bricks. I split them with my shooting friend, so 500# apiece. That's a lot of lead, since I have monotype on hand, along...

They used the magic word, "vintage". Put vintage in front of a box of tissue, and you'd get $50 for it. Probably get more than that is you used "tactical". LOL

I've messed around with guns for over 30 years, but do not consider myself any kind of expert. You learn something almost every day if you're paying attention. I did not serve either, and I never...

The first time I tried reloading was in the late '70s. I had no mentor, and there was no Internet yet. I bought a Speer manual, and Lyman's at a gun show. I knew no reloaders in my area. I puttered...

I'm mostly right handed. When I was young, I played a lot of hockey and the curved stick was left handed. When playing baseball, I batted better right handed, but for more power left handed. I must...

Thanks, I like it the way it's set up.

It's all in what used to be a 2 car garage. Now it's pretty much a no car garage. LOL

Here is my bench, kind of cluttered when the pic was taken. It's been straightened up a little bit since then, but not much.

2 Dillon 550B presses, 1 Redding T-7 turret press, and 1 RCBS Reloader...
