Giving stuff a better looking over during the day instead of a post second shift examination, I think I have a good place to start.

The front sight looks like the post might be bent a little and...

My 550 does everything I need it to. Manual advance is a little slow, but I know each and every reloading session will be headache free and have almost a 0% rejection rate. With the Lee Loadmaster I...

A few years ago I was given a Norinco 320 as payment for services rendered doing some house renovation work.

I finally got around to doing some serious playing around with it this weekend. As...

My press is a 550.

I was looking at things and there's just enough room on the top of the link arms where the bushings are pressed into the frame to install grease fittings. On the lower link,...

Since I did a full clean and lube when I had it apart, I'm probably good for a while.

The only real reason for wanting the C upgrade was the grease fittings. I might give
Dillon a call and...

I'm considering sending in my 550B to be refurbished.

Near as I can tell, it's one of the early 1990s B models. When I bought it, it came with the original brass primer pick up tubes. This thing...

As promised, here it is....

Like Waco said, IMR Target is a dead ringer for Bullseye.

I did up test batches of Bullseye and Target and here's what I did.

.45 ACP with a charge weight of 3.5...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned an old classic.

Have a friend or family member who smokes? A pinch of powder in their ashtray makes life pretty entertaining.

A fourth vote for the Up Lula.

It works so much better than the original No1 MkI Thumb or the No1 MkII Gorilla Thumb

The guys at work look at me like I'm crazy every time I pull out my huge set of Peltor muffs and put them on over plugs. I've had tinnitus since I was a teenager. While I don't, miraculously, have...

I did up a bunch of the Lee 105 grain semi wadcutters with either 5.5 grains of Unique or 4.0 grains of Red Dot. In my 6 inch GP-100, they recoiled like a .22 and were fairly accurate.

Today's other lesson, make sure your plumber's furnace has fuel in the tank! After giving up on the mold that was being uncooperative, I moved on to other casting endeavors.

I had cleaned 70 years...

Thanks for the help.

Looks like I'll boil, heat and wipe, then do some lapping. Worst case, it can be my practice mold for hollow pointing and I just get a new one.

I ordered two bottles of...

I've been using bee's wax to lube the pins and sprue plate on my Lee 452-200 SWC mold for a while now.

I tried heating it and wiping the wax off, but with no luck. I'm also wanting to detail clean...

IMR Target and Bullseye are identical weight and volume wise. I loaded a test batch of .45 Auto for a Pepsi Challenge to see how they stacked up. When switching from Bullseye to Target, I didn't...

In the avoid pile would be any of Lee's progressives or perfect looks like a powder measure but sure don't quack like a powder measure. I had a Loadmaster and the "Perfect" powder measure. Every 50...

Northern Brewer makes a really nice clone of Moose Drool called Caribou Slobber. I brewed up a batch of it for a friends and family get together. It proved to be quite popular.

Bad beers.....
...

I've had good results whenever I called. But, there are knuckle heads in any company.

When I bought my 550, there were some items missing. When I called to order replacements I was up front about...

Watch craigslist for an older Delta. I scored a really nice one that was made in 1938 for $100. Still had the original motor.

Ruger makes a spiffy little SP101 with a 4" barrel. Choices are .38/.357 or .327

Hmm.... let's see:

BJ's has house brand dog biscuits in a big screw top container. Bruce doesn't care, as long as he gets a biscuit for being a good boy.

My sister works at the state range,...

I'm not about to start wearing Glock branded tighty-whiteys, but I do like their pistols. In my opinion, they are exactly as advertised. A solid, reliable handgun rated for personal defense, law...

Don't get snookered into buying the $40.00 lube heaters. Cruise over to your local thrift store and look for an old travel size clothes iron. You'll need an aluminum plate to put between the sizer...

I've got a Polish Power Trimmer.

I took the handle off my RCBS case trimmer and chucked a 1/2" cordless drill on it. Along with RCBS' 3 way cutter head, it makes for fast work.

The little 9"...

Who doesn't love a top break .22??

My 999 Sportsman was in reasonably new enough condition when I bought it.


..... I need to take it out next time I go to the range.
