Still? I had been wanting a master caster since before Covid. I tried calling to order a few times over the past couple of years and finally gave up. Sad to hear the problems still persist.

Free market working as it should.

Or mail him your brass and have him mail the brass back to you primed. It's a lot of work, but since you guys are already considering going around your butts to get to your elbow, it's a legal...

Conversion kits and accessories are worth more than anything and have been much harder to get. If you are selling with extras you can demand a premium.

Presses are getting easier to find. I keep...

This is how I’ve always done it. The only way to really build your inventory and save a buck is to buy out others in large lots. You have to be prepared to spend big and even purchase the...

Powder prices, to me, have remained reasonable. Thinking the primers crunch is keeping powder at bay.

$0.07 primers to produce ammo that costs over $1.00 / round is a bargain for LRP. It’s all in how you look at it.

Maybe primers were too cheap to begin with ;)

I’ve been sitting on an absurd amount of lpp that I’ve been unable to trade for any other primers. They seem to be the black sheep of primers.

That's awesome. Available for those that have none and need them. Supply and demand working exactly as it should.

For the first time in my short 43 year life I'm finally beginning to think things are not going to get better. We are in an ever increasing decline. To me, it seems more likely everyone will be...

In today's market, you can produce over $100 in boolits in the first casting. Prices are high, but it's hard to complain when the mold pays for itself right out of the gate.

Predicated on a fella...

My coating barely comes off in rocks and sand. I would have zero issue eating anything taken with a coated bullet. No more so than eating something with a non coated bullet. Is eating lead any better...

I have two v1s that don't leak. I did get a little leak once and replaced the pin and that fixed it. Might be worth replacing, otherwise the nozzle hole might be out of spec. Not much to it. It all...

He did 165 / 219 rather than calculating on the difference of 54. 165 is 75% of 219 which is not the price increase.

Do I win something?

All the powder in the world won't do anyone any good without primers. I'm thinking that's why we are seeing supply returning. Reloaders who still have primers are finally stocked up on powder and...

Just scored a 3, what do I win?

I use d-lead hand soap and cleaning spray on my bench. Like others, I cast under a vent and melt batches outdoors. Avoid licking my fingers while handling or around...

Clean brass saves my dies, my press, my brass feeder and most importantly my hands. Last thing I want is grimy fingers while loading mags all day at the range. Dirty brass results in a nasty mess on...

Way to rub it in our faces fellas.

I picked up one of the Frankford case trimmers a while back when they were deeply on sale. Works ok, but really needs a carbide. They've been unobtainium since.

I've had one on backorder for about 6 months at Midway and this post just reminded me. Not sure if I'll ever see it.

The processing of it is nasty, but other than that, battery lead is just like any other. I think it's soft and mostly pure. A very long time ago I used it for muzzle loader boolits. The deer never...

20lbs usually makes over 1k 9s, so that's just 50 bucks at 2.5 per. Still not bad imo. Gonna have to gho way way up before it's no longer worth casting. But then again, it'll still be cheaper to cast...

I too prefer lpp, but for different reasons. They handle and flip better and vibratory primer fillers seems to work more consistently with them. They are just all around a little easier to work with....

You guys do know you probably shouldn't be casting naked, right?

I've also been at casting for a smidge over 30 years and so far I've only ever had one mishap. Happened about 4 years ago. Like a...

Started off standing, transitioning to sitting... It happens. Tick tock

I have both and always gravitate to the large. Just easier to work with. Just save yourself some hassle and don't shoot large and small together to avoid the extra sorting. Drives me nuts and I...
