That jig looks like a pain to use, unless I’m missing something. I modify .223 to .300 Blk for my son. The jig that I use, with the HF saw, you just lay the cartridge in, with case against the stop,...

Hi All,
Does anyone here use the Lee REAL boolits? If one were to powder coat them, would you still need lube? With all of the other smokeless cartridges that I load, if coated, no need for...

May I ask what is a stepped insert? I understand the first part, and I did think of that… but didn’t know “it was done”.

Hello All,
Working on an odd project.
I have a cheap .22 pistol that I am playing with. The slide is a zinc / aluminum alloy, and it has a rear dovetail cut of 10mm / .393ish. I would like to...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I see it’s not an issue, with bottle neck cartridges…. But will Lee Factory Crimp Dies wreck the sizing of a cast boolit, in a straight walled case, such as pistol or 350 legend or 45-70 etc?

Ahhhh I thank you! I had tunnel vision on that other type.
I just found out, that the paint I was asking about, was called “ Bow Flage “ and that it is no longer available.

Many years ago, while I still had a bow, and was deer-hunting with it. I was given some special spray paint, that I believe was alcohol based, and the earth colors came out very nice and flat. When I...

I figured, but how is this gadget supposed to check headspace then? Am I reading this wrong, as MR WOLF is pointing out? This is just a gimmick, as if it passes the case length steps, by default, it...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
