Hope to try these in a 50 Beowulf AR

I have an older HF that I’ve used on brass, it works great. I see now they have a larger one. The HF is the same as one or more of the reloading branded machines that cost a lot more. 90 day...

As an FYI on the HF saw. Once in awhile you may need to tighten the drive wheel for the belt. When it gets loose, the blade speed drops and it acts like the blade is dull. A small Allen screw to...

Yes to all of the above. I’d suggest segregating brass for each rifle as it will last longer and give better results. Not sure how many you need to feel comfortable but 308 brass is everywhere. Good...

I was always fascinated by this concept and the Lyman composite bullet series. I never owned them and am always on the lookout for them. I’ve tried the two pot method. It works but never really...

I use a harbor freight magnet on a stick to find steel cases in the brass pile. Was surprised to start finding these “brass/steel” cases. I also notice the guys at the scrap yard running a magnet...

I’ll ask more directly. Should I worry about these dark powder granules in these rounds? I would like to shoot them or sell or trade with a clear conscience. Thanks.

I inherited a 50-cal ammo can full of a mix of loose ball and A-P ‘06. Dirty with some corrosion that comes off with a green pad and brass cleaner (not Brasso). I pulled one of each and both look...

I have a 2x2x4’ box of rubber mulch to capture cast bullets, the front face holds the target. When sorting thru the mulch many recovered bullets look pretty good unless they hit another in the mulch....

I’m thinking this is Lee’s version of a 350 Legend plinker. I’ll get a 6-cav and try in the 9 and Legend

The Lee is a 2-cavity mold.

Video interesting, would have been a better experiment with two same weight bullets, same powder and charge and a number of runs plus an actual target accuracy element.

If shooters keep paying those prices, then the prices will remain high. It’s the market, not the politics.

I measured and weighed and here are the averages for ten samples. Wheel weight alloy. .268 and 139.6 gr

Lee had done that custom run on what folks call the Cruise Missile. That style will get tried in the 260 as well. I’m also hoping this new style will perform in a Grendel AR.

Arrived today from Titan. Can’t wait to try it in a 260 REM.

I was traveling down the Yeti path. Even got dies and formed a bunch of brass. Just couldn’t go $400 for a barrel and bolt given what complete uppers were/still are selling for. I got a 350 Legend...

Long ago I bought a square ceramic stone from Brownells for just such a project. A little oil and a few careful passes and it was done. I see that stone/file in the box and smile as it was my first...

Yesterday I started to prep a new RCBS mould for a casting session. A couple squirts of brake cleaner followed by two hot water and Dawn scrubs with an old toothbrush then sitting the handled mould...

I have a NOE mould for the Grendel. Have to really wrung it out but have loaded some to function test in an AR and both conventionally lubed and powder coated worked fine with no leading. There is...

^this….I’ve got three and all perform just fine. No side chargers but interested in what folk are experiencing. BCA starting to expand their AR10 uppers too. Would love to see a 358 Winchester, 708,...

Just tried to place an order and got the my state and sales tax message so we won’t sell to you. Any work arounds to suggest? What other states have this problem? Thanks.

Lee makes sizing dies for traditional reloading presses. Very affordable and work well. ...

It’s the same machine as labeled by(I think) Lyman. Works great, had one for over ten years, paid $69 or so and the savings over the Lyman model I used to buy a primer. Small batches and it works...

Forming 357 Herrett with the TC dies (Hornady) was always easy with their tapered expander and this is a die from the 80’s. I often wondered if swapping that out in another die would work for the...
