I traveled down the same path a couple of years ago. By the time you expand the brass enough to accommodate the larger boolit; the rounds won't chamber. It's time for a new barrel. Sending the...

If you want to stay close to Denver, take a look at the Scottsbluff/Gehring area. Eastern Wyoming has some good areas too.

I prefer Silhouette for my 9MM loads.

Yes, I do!

Thanks for posting this. It provides a lot of reasons to be thankful.

There is nothing wrong with your thinking. Some of us older folks remember when we were thankful to have a job. If the younger people don't appreciate the raise, they can always go somewhere else.

Others opinions will vary, but I always size and trim new brass before loading. You may never need to trim again.

Prayed for the surgery, those performing it and your future.

Here's another vote for a Lee 20# bottom pour. I've been using one for the last 10 years. My advice is to skip the Lee bullet sizing dies and go directly to the NOE system. It's a little more...

As long as the boolit is pure lead it should work fine. Make sure the bore is clean. Lube the barrel and the boolit. Then use a Plastic tipped hammer to drive the boolit into the barrel. Use a...

You should be able to size the .379 down to .377 without any trouble. I use NOE's sizing kit and bushings.

I had some similar experiences with a couple of Springfield Armory 1911's. The first thing I did was to sort my range pickup brass by headstamp. The second thing was to sell my case gauge, remove...

Frankford Arsenal makes a wet media separator that removes the pins from the brass in about a minute.

The thermocouple came from Auber Instruments. I really like the stand. I wouldn't want to be without it.

I drilled a hole in the center of my pot lid and used a brass compression fitting to hold the thermocouple about a half inch above the bottom. This my original Lee pot with a My2ndRight stand....

NOE makes a 180 grain WFN. It feeds well in mine.

I am guessing that you are using white beadboard, sometimes referred to as Styrofoam. If that is true, don't use construction adhesive. Locktite PL 300 is the proper adhesive. It comes in large...

Most people recommend .001" over the bullet diameter. I have found that .002" over the bullet diameter works best for my 9MM, .357 and 45 ACP rounds. Since they don't cost much, I would purchase...

It's a USPS Small Flat Rate Box for Priority Mail.

You can order a custom seater plug from Lee for about $18 shipped. Look on their website.

Doug,

Thanks for the update. I'll be glad to wait for your 9MM service.

I need a little more information before attempting to help. Is the Lee flairing die a powder thru flaring die?

I have used 3 RCBS ultrasonic cleaners in the past three years. The electronics failed on each one within a year. Usually the heater fails first. I really like an ultrasonic cleaner for firearms...

I believe large rifle magnum primers are a little longer, front to back, than standard large rifle primers. You may have a problem trying to seat the magnum primers because the pocket will be too...
