I took the next step from Websterz post. I put 400 of those 180g Lee .40 TC boolits into their own little brass cases with 4.8g of HP-38. Thinking that tonight will be a .45 night, have 45lbs or

The Dillon is probably a great piece of equipment. For the money, it should be.
Like has been mentioned above, you can get the Pro 1000 for around $160-170 ready to load.

I'm in an apartment too. I just finished smelting two 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights. I just use an electric hot plate and a small pot. I work off the tailgate of my truck. Not the fastest way but...

I know the feeling, I had a nasty motorcycle wreck a few years back and broke all but two ribs on my right side. Broke them about an inch off the spine and along my side when I succeeded in trying to...

Jailer, Depending on how you style their hair, its not that bad. Mine are in what would be called a modified puppy cut, their hair is essentially about a 1/2" long all over except for the end of the...

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm in an apartment without a porch / balcony. My casting spot is a corner parking spot, on the tailgate of my truck, use a piece of scrap plywood and my Lee drippy...

WCH hit it spot on. I have major allergies and severe asthma, with lung damage. So I know where you're coming from. I have issues even walking by a house that has cats, if they have the windows open....

I've used the walmart stainless condiment cups with pretty good results. They're cheap, easily available, and in my experience are right at 1 lb when filled with COWW. I just fill the cups part way...
I have one of them too. No complaints at all for me. A little clean up with some rubbing compound in a couple holes where the boolits would just drop free, and all is good. Mine seems to be...

Stick them in one of YOUR pots, plastic bowl, etc, not one from SWMBOs kitchen. Boil some water and pour that water in over the boolits. The lube should melt off and float. Skim it off and toss it....

Jacksonville Florida here. Same thing, let us know. One thing not answered, is rental pieces. One local range here has about 15-20 different handguns for rent, from .22LR thru .44 magnum. Last time...

I'm in it too. I'm a good bit northeast of Leslie and Trapdoor, but we've gotten quite a bit here in the Jacksonville area. Flooding has closed I-10 west of the city. Lots of neighborhoods at risk....
Great pistol. I have one also. Mines about 10 years old. Full Lug barrel. The biggest issue I have with mine is trying to pry it out of my daughters hands. But thats a good problem. She shoots it...

It's been like that down here in Florida. The Okeefenokee swamp (in Ga) has been buring since April 28th. Something like 300,000 acres burnt. I'd guess that I'm close to 100 miles south of there, and...

Seems like there are quite a few really interesting hobbies out among the folks here.
For me it's always been motorcycles.
Did motorcycle roadracing for a couple years, until I took a particularly...
As the title says. I'm having issues loading the Lee 452-228 1R. I'm having all kinds of issues with overall length in different pistols. I'm going nuts trying to figure this one out. I'm loading for...

The four year old might be ready to get an understanding of what they do and that they aren"t toys. That its not like on tv, where they get back up and are fine 20 minutes later. As for the loud...

For roughly the same money, you should also have a look at the Browning Buckmarks. The "Camper" models around here are running about $279-299. I have an older one that has proven to be quite...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
For what it's worth. I tried this lube on a mild .38 spl load over the weekend. Pistol is a Ruger GP100 .357 with a 6" barrel. Bullets used were Lee 140g SWC cast from AC WW. Bullets sized to .358...

The 99 cent for four, stainless steel condiment cups work like a champ too. Makes about a 1 lb ingot that nest together reasonably well.
