I load for half a dozen guns (3.3 – 4.8´´ bbl) and a carbine (8´´). Boolits are 12-14 bhn, powder coated,...

Sorry, correction: I have the 105 gr SWC mold, not the 90 gr SWC.

I use them in my 9 mils too. Mine are 107 gr before PC. I combine them with AA2 or VN320. Since I had occasional FTF when crimping on the band I crimp into the groove.

Hi,
I´m coming late to the party... I watched the WiederladerTV contributions on the Youtube and kept the Pulvertech as a contingency should I fail with local products.
For tumbling I tried a...

Adding more best wishes for a recovery, from Europe.
I could not get a Les Baer in my country, so went for a DW Valor (2009). I am very happy with it. Tight, accurate. Out of the box it can stay within 4 inches at 50 m and withing 8 inches at 100 yards...

I answered what I could.
Living in Europe, I use a local PC product. As I am not completely happy with the results, I am thinking about getting the new staff from Randy, but it is not simple to get...

I use both 105 gr and 140 gr SWC (sized .375) in 9L. They work fine in my guns.
Typo: sized .3575 in.

Something similar happened to me with a Lee 358-105 SWC while running at 740°F. I cleaned the problematic part of the cavity with a tooth pick and slowed down. That took care of the problem.

Watter drop, not for hardness but convenience.

I use them quite often. The S&B primers sometimes seem to be a bit harder. Otherwise no worry.

I put the brass into a plastic bottle with the neck wide enough not to cause trouble when I pour them out. Usually not higher than to 1/3 of the bottle size. I add some dish-soap, a dash of vinegar...
As far as I can say, strenght is not a key element for accuracy shooting. Undoubtly, it plays a role in competition where extended series are shot.
Very useful information on the difference when using a brass mold. Thank you everybody.

Congrats! A nice bench at a good price.
I am planning to build one soon - need a larger and heavier/more stable one.

I voted yes - I have been using the Lee FCD for .45 ACP, .357 Mag and 9 mm Luger.
