About $70.40 per thousand. Still pretty spendy. I would have bought a larger quantity, but I haven't heard any about this brand yet. If they work good, I'll buy 20k next time.

Not impressed. The bullet and cartridge I looked at listed many powders, but no velocity information. It was all sourced from a Canadian bullet manufacturer I have never heard of.

Ed's Red is the best bore solvent! Plus it's the cheapest when you mix up 3 quarts.

I use red wax from cheese as a flux when casting. If I didn't use it as flux, it would be in the trash.

I have 2 x shellholders for 9mm. One is loose with the shell. It has caused some distortion of the rim when sizing. The second one fits perfect and has caused no problems.

I have one also and I use it decap 9mm brass and size my cast boolits. Proper adjustment and consistent speed is required. It can be fiddley.
