    Case Lube Dip Post SS Media

    Over the past 8 years, I have been tumbling in stainless steel media. I know it’s unnecessary, so anybody who wants to comment on that can save your breath. I’ve never considered myself to being a...

    Well I just got done depriming half a container of primers worth of 9mm cases. The only thing that broke was the little hook on the case inserter carriage. I 3D printed another one and completed the...

    That’s pretty sweet GWS. I built my own bullet sizing press out of a car strut and some 1/8” steel, boxed into a press shape and then was trying to build a self feed to feed in bullets when I saw the...

    I have a 550 that I got back in 1990. It is my reloading tool. The lee APP is to do processing work. It sizes my bullets and deprimes my dirty brass so I don’t have all that crud getting on my 550. I...

    I purchased the Lee APP press a few years ago, and it was wonderful for depriming brass, and sizing bullets. It worked so well in fact that since then I have been going to buy another one so I do...
