I agree with Lloyd. I put a case feeder on one of my 550's for .45 ACP and found that I could still crank'em out faster on my SDB. so now I only use the Square deal for .45's since i shoot my 1911's...

probably a cabin tree, but the Lee tester works well on the cheap

wow...when i started this thread i never dreamed it would go this long. It's really cool to see everyones setup. while I do agree that equipment is only part of the equasion, i've really picked up...

absolutely. I size for 30-30 with mine. :drinks:

I use the zip trim with the 3 jaw chuck just to clean really ugly brass. I but the brass in the chuck, hold a fine scotch bright scruffy pad around the brass and pretend i'm starting my weedwacker....

I use walnut with a little Hoppes 9 in it to clean, and corn cob with Dillon brass polish if I want to make it shiney.

I had the same thing happen with a Magma master caster. It was a nightmare. the entire mould carriage assemble was hidden in a big hunk of lead. 2 hours with a tourch to find it again. I have read...

I store about 40 moulds in ammo cans with desiccant bags. I also use small rubber bands to hold the moulds together to prevent the cavitys from coming in contact with other moulds. I've never had a...

i've shot steel plates with Lino and have never had them shatter. I use 50/50 Lino/WW's for my 44's, and about 3 to 1 WW/Lino in my higher velocity autos. just a small amount if any in my 1911's (45...

Stars were originally designed as base first sizing.

Freightman....can you mention to her that my birthday is in 2 weeks, my grill burned out and my freezer is loaded with deer steaks? thanks

I live on a private road (Keibler Beach Lane) it was named after the original owners of all of the property. most of my neighbors are Keiblers or relatives of the Keiblers. It was originally Keibler...

Bull Plate lube between the top of the mould and sprue plate, and everything will be fine. I swear by the stuff. I use it for that, lubing my Master caster, lubing the hinges of hand moulds. I...

I usually do both in the same day. Mine air cool. I don't water drop, so it makes sense to me to size while they are still soft. it doesnt make much difference, but in my eyes, the least resistance...

wow...I thought I was the only one. I pick up some used stage lighting for my band, and spent about 2 hours each bead blasting, repainting , and rewiring 8 lights that I can buy brand new for about...

that's funny. In my day job I deal with Engineers. my friend (who ironically is now an Engineer) used to have a sign on His toolbos that read "It's only slightly easier to communicate with and...

I have 3 stars and a Lyman 450. I still use my Lyman for some of my multi-lube groove, and flat base boolits. It's a great machine, but no where near the speed of a Star. The Star is a little slower...

I lucked out and picked up a Dillon 550 with 12 complete caliber change overs (Powder measures and all) at an estate sale. I got a SH*%load of reloading and casting stuff for $800 cash. I sold off...

Creeker. I do the same thing with hand moulds. I lock down the mould carriage assembly, insert a piece of extruded aluminum as a mould guide and use the Magma pot with hand moulds. (If i'm casting in...

i remember when I bought my first Star. I had it about a week and decided i needed a second one. Now I have 3. [smilie=1:
I still use my Lyman 450 from time to time for some odd ball stuff, but...

i'm hoping to retire from the day to day rat race by 55. (if all goes to plan) i'll always do side work, but it will be on my schedule. The only snag seems to be gas prices and health care costs. I...

i remember talking to my father years ago when I just got into reloading. I was going to buy digital calipers. He told told me they're toys for people that can't read tools. (He started His career as...

let me know if you find anyone that needs them. I have a bag of 10 of 'em.
I have a dozen Dillon powder measures, and I think I use only 2 of the large
