Any gunsmiths here need a job? Or know of any who do, Armscor (Rock Island Arms) has the warranty station for the US here in downtown Pahrump and they are looking for a gunsmith. Property can be had...

It probably takes 10 seconds to turn a die into the press, I can afford that much time. Considering the difficulty I had removing the bushings from the dies, I am inclined to believe Hornady's claim...

OK, using wrench and channel locks, I got them off without messing up the dies. What are these bushings worth?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I just bought a set of used Hornady dies and they came with LNL Bushings on them. Since I don't use the LNL, is there some trick to removing the bushings? I loosened the die ring set screws but they...

Started looking for the needed Lee items, they were just as cheap on Ebay as they were at Midway. Found a guy in Las Vegas who said he had everything I needed, I figured I'd rather spend the money...

All good ideas. I read here or on another board, that I can use RCBS (or other) dies arranged in this order: Sizer; Expander; Lee Universal (one size fits all) Charging Die; Bullet Seater/Crimper....

A hundred and fifty an hour would do me fine. A couple of more questions: Does it come with the powder measure and primer feeder or must they be bought separately? It says other die brands can be...

I'm looking hard at the Classic Turret. No advocates for that one here?

Looks like I'm going to be loading 9MM. I would like to get a progressive press for my pistol calibers but the only one I'm familiar with, the Dillon Square Deal, has gotten too expensive to buy. I...

I thank you all for caring enough to wonder about me, it's more than I deserve. Unlike what CarpetMan has probably been saying, that I moved to a sheep ranch, or that I was run out of town because of...

You know you're a real gun nut when you buy a gun to shoot up some ammo you found in your stash... I found a case of 20 gauge AAs and I don't have a 20 gauge to shoot them in. Yet. GunBroker to the...

Photos below are of a deburring tool and deburring tool base, both made by RCBS, and likely used by everybody here. As we all know, the left side of the tool cuts an outside chamfer on the neck of...
The subject has come up and there has been a thread on it that pops up every now and then. In short, Lee won't make us a mold for .22 billets. NEI does make .22 caliber molds and Bullshop has one of...

By the way, Crash, do you know how the Snickers Bar got it's name? Snickers was the name of the family pooch of the Mars family who marketed several candy bars. And during Prohibition, Adolph Coors...

Propaganda flows to the Right, too. Crash, remember that milk had an inch or so of cream on top of it. Those were good times. And I can't remember any difference between the times Harry Truman was in...

Seen them all many times. And if they was all on back to back tonight, I'd be setting there watching them again...
I might go for another .40 cal group buy bullet if it was 175 to 180 grains, either pointed like the Buy we just got in or a TC.
