I kind of agree with murf205. Don't advertise, and follow the three "S" routine.
Thanks, longbow, centershot, and Blood Trail, for the replies
(I’ll cast some with a harder alloy and use Blue Dot and Proreach on the next go.)
Blood Trail; What kind of lead are you casting? I am curious as to what hardness to use. Does it have to be a...
I am guessing that "Ball end" means your cylinder throats. If that is that is what you mean, then you are good. You want a lead bullet to be a little bigger than the throats and bore diameter. That...
MSM, if it doesn't work out with Mr. centershot, let me know. I have RP12 and RXP12 I can get to you. As long as you report your finding here.
My way of thinking, is to pick a size about what you are going to be shooting at. I like 15"x15" because that is about the vital area of a deer. I shoot 1 round and mark the holes, shoot another...

I guess it pays to keep a cluttered bench. I only have room for 1 can of powder on it. LOL

Then you have to figure the added costs of accounting, to make sure the right money, goes to the right places. I don't think I would do it either, if I were a business. Unless there would be enough...

Sorry to hear you got took also. I have one in the corner, holding the floor down. That's about all it's good for. I got tired of having to guide the brass in the the die ALL the time, as you found...

Stay away from the Iron man press. Wish I would have.

Agree with this. A compromise is just that. It's not what you wanted. Pistol caliber carbines are fun. Maybe a little too fun once you get your lead bullet load worked out. I know I may get flamed...
Looks a lot better. They did originally have a pretty strong pink hue to them

I have to agree with this. While the Dillion powder measure works with the right powder. The Hornady seems to work better, with more different types of powder
Totally agree with this on the LCRX3. Had the 38 LCRX3, great gun but traded it for the 357, and never looked back. Just a handier package. You won't notice the difference in weight on your hip. If...
I'm kind of surprised at some of the answers that were given to you. I had to double check to make sure I was on this board.
It's YOUR gun, and YOUR money, do what you want with it, and enjoy it. I...

Changing dies consists of just sliding them in once they are set. They are nice for depriming, the primers fall in to a list jar, instead of all over. Also is faster for depriming, due to the shell...

You can also have a bench height that works for normal work, and put a elevated base mount on you press to get the height you want for that.

Your nominal is 2.200. You are +/- .005. Not a problem. I am guessing, you are just reloading for plinking or hunting? You won't notice anything. If you were reloading for competition, or precision...

Nothing wrong with the SD. I had one for a lot of years. I sold it to buy a 750. The SD has a small working platform. As you get older, your hands aren't as nimble as they once were, you'll...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
THIS... I sold my SDB and got the 750. The SDB is a good press, but is awful small work area if you have sausage fingers, or you finger just aren't as nimble as they used to be

After seeing for myself how thin the receiver was at the bottom of the barrel, where the barrel screws in always concerned me.
I am with you on this. I sold my $360 guns for a nice sum and have not...
