Ultrasonic removes the carbon staining extremely well.

I went from the Lee whack em version for .357, 9mm and 6mm Rem back in the 70s. Graduated to a Lee C press and then a Lee Turret for the next 20 years. Went Dillon blue in the late 90s, but still...
I have a 23 with a great trigger. It's all aftermarket fire controlparts and won me an Area 1 USPSA win in Production class some years back. I can shoot .2 splits with that gun. It'll never break .18...

I had two blackout AR SBR rifles. One had a chamber too tight to chamber any cast bullets regardless of COL, bullet profile etc. I finally sold that barrel as I couldn't find anyone with a chamber...

Dillon Precision. Even after shipping $2.55 each for 100 round 9mm boxes when buying 10 at a time.

True that. Buddy of mine shot a USPSA match 2weeks ago shooting 9 out of his 40 mags. Nothing but problems. Failure to feed at least once every mag n

The old Lee hand primer worked great. I have a new one with the square primer tray. Not near as good as the old round one.

If I'm not using a lot I buy the ethanol free premix at Lowes. The stuff they sell by the quart for around $6. That stuff has no additives, detergents etc. 92 octane. I run a tank of this stuff about...
Wouldn't you love to go back in time and interview JMB?

I saw a documentary one time. Seems JMB almost never drew anything up. He built it and his brothers documented it. Brilliant guy that.

All you need is to ship UPS. Not a store, but a real UPS location. Mark the box with the ORM-D symbol and ship away. Ground service rates. No problem.

If you buy or have 100 year old cast iron it's not that heavy. Probably 1/2 the weight of the modern stuff.

Ugly as a mud fence, but I have 4 or 5 of em and wouldn't hesitate to go to war with one if necessary. They go bang when they're supposed to, are reasonably accurate and if you scratch up one its not...
I still have several! .357 and 9mm at least, and maybe a couple more. Haven't used them since the early 80s. Got a single stage and stopped using them. In a drawer somewhere for the kids to worry...
Get the 220 grain from Leatherhead bullets. I'm playing around, trying to make dead quiet suppressed with an 8" SBR and gemtech can. Lots of fun, quiet, fairly easy on the wallet.

I got a bullet puller, so you can make empties out of full ones if you get desperate for some bench time and haven't been able to get to the range to make empties in that loud and messy way.

Try leather head bullets in Idaho. Coated and usually in stock.

Oh that's Purdy! And it complements the rifle. Well played!

Even that 311284 looks to have too short an ogive to me. The Lee TL309-230-5-R looks to me to have a more appropriate ogive for 300 AAC.

I would still pay attention to the bullet potentially touching the throat. Bullet setback and possible pressure problems. Doesn't seem to cause a problem with subsonic loads. But I wouldn't want the...
The problem I run into with cast bullets in two different Blackout barrels is that .001 extra diameter has the ogive hit the chamber throat and a failure to go into battery (AR platform). You can't...
