I've been considering buying one of the case dryers sold at Midway. Would they make enough heat to melt the wax? Anyone have one? I have molds that haven't worked out, and need to 'unlube' them and...

Easy fix. Leave the primers alone. Pour out powder. Simply remove the de-capper expander if it is a Lee Full length sizing die. If other brand pull the expander out remove the de-capping pin. Then...

If you plan to PC them, use the oven, (I assume you will use an old toaster oven), to melt the wax. Line a tray with some paper towels, use low heat. Most of it will get soaked up in the towels. Then...

My opinion, based solely on my personal experiences, is that I have fewer problems with cast boolits in bolt guns than autos. My SKS doesn't like them, nor my 30 carbine. I just lump them with...

Yep.... Kitty's around the corner on Middlebelt is excellent too.

The outlets all have 3 prong receptacles. That doesn't mean much. The house passed inspection in the bath and kitchen when I bought it. I hired an electrician when we did the kitchen. He showed me...

Things don't look right inside that box. Both (only two wires) wires connected to the switch are black. There is a white wire tucked away in the back. Can't see where that goes. Wires are copper.

Disconnected the switch with the lights on. Opened the breaker. Lights are out. Logic says switch. Get one tomorrow.
I have a healthy fear of home electrical. When I was seven, my mother found me...

Just about to test that, but don't know if my method will be safe. I plan to screw the bulbs back in till lights come on. Then, open the breaker, disconnect the switch, close the breaker to see if...

Just left my master bedroom. When I switched off the overhead light, it flickered a bit at first. Curious I switched it back on, but now it won't go off. Not making any sparks, smoke or anything...

I swaged and prepped all my 5.56 LC brass. I'm going to set them aside. I just ordered 500 General Dynamics 5.56 from Midway. I won't be using the Super Swager on any 5.56 anymore. I have a Wilson...

Heard back from Dillon today. Canned response. Back off on the rod adjustment. DUH... I worked the adjustment up incrementally until it WOULD accept a primer. What I have, is where it takes to do...

I sent a comment to Dillon on their 'contact us' link. I included a link to this thread so they could see the pics. I think they should redesign the rod, or what ever they call it, to have a wider...

Searched the web for, 'Dillon swager deforms case web'. Found this http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=274417

On holding the cases while cutting, I found that using my Wilson case holder (not a case gage fella's) wrapped with a fat rubber band for grip, works well.

My problem is with 5.56 military Lake City cases, the # 41's are fine with all my .223's, Hornady and converted RP 222 Remington mag cases as well. It's a primer pocket depth problem with the LC's,...

$675 million. Then it cost me about $2 for that very neat photo. I would have payed a few bucks more for some better info too. Some people made money building that thing too.

Well... just got back to this post today. I ordered from K & M, mostly because I use a lot of their products (neck turning). Also, they are a Michigan company and shipping is quick. Price was a...

I will look into getting one. I'm imagining it will be a bear holding onto the little 5.56 while it's cutting. Mine is a Redding, small and large on opposite ends. Strictly a hand tool.
