I use VV N340 in a 15-inch Contender barrel. With both a 75 and 86 grain jacketed bullet. It is an unpublished load and will not post it here. Both are very accurate out to 200 meters.

I had the simple distance vision surgery about five years ago. Only need reading glasses for up close. Still can't see open sights like I want to.

I use one of this type in my UNinsulated reloading shed. Because it uses a remote to operate, I installed mine under my bench. I run my condensate hose into a cup.

The local candy store got some in a couple weeks ago. $49.99 a pound. I bought two to go with what I have. Should last me a couple years loading 12 gauge shells.

I have a Lyman DPS1200. I load a lot of ammo with 5744. Never varies more than a tenth of a grain. I can't tell that difference on the target. Like a previous poster I did have trouble getting...

Steel pin cleaning of cases. I have the Harbor Freight tumbler. Too much work. Plus there are boxes with their wares in them all over my shop that are equally useless to me.

I've read the Foote trilogy. Went and saw him give a lecture at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky. It was not about the Civil War. But most of the questions afterwards were.

I bought a estate from a friend of mine. His father passed away and had some reloading stuff he wanted to sell. I wound up with a Hornady Lock and Load AP progressive press. It has two sets of dies...
