years ago someone made plastic cases and "bullets" and used a large pistol primer to set the projectile down range
to reload them, push the primer out by hand, insert a new one, and push the...

when mine did this I emailed the company and they sent me a brand new one for free
made out of a different material and is stronger

I cast cause I enjoy it
I reload for the same reason
shooting is in the mix, too
when I started I used Lyman 450 lube/sizer
then PC came along and I was at the front of that...

Due to a bunch of low-lifes ordering free replacement parts and turning around and selling them on eBay, Dillon now requires pictures of the damaged/broken parts when you send in a replacement part...

actually, it's 3 days
and then it does cool off when the hurricanes come through
I do get up at 5:30 so I can get to the gym then shop for my child-bride and do a bit of puttering in the garage

ended up using a cardboard box--wooden box will happen once the heat index drops below 110°
probably come up with a way to mount it on top of a tumbler--hand shaking is OK but a bit slow

SDBs are great--this piece of equipment: not so much
Forum: Reloading Equipment
yes, got one when they first came out. I do notice that different batches will require a slight tweaking of the knob.
I also run mine with the cover loose. I screwed the long bolts in from the...

Years ago, I was gifted with one of these. Small pistol primers do well in it. LPP: not so much. It seems they hang up right at the hole that drops them down into the tube.
When this happens,...

I cast, PC and Lee push through all but the .41
I use the Lee .311 and/or .314 push throughs
.358 for 38/357
.452 for both .45 ACP and Long Colt

my 2¢:
I made a couple of trays out of ¼" hardware cloth--they sit on a cookie baking sheet.
After I dump my PC, BBs, and bullets into a colander to separate the bullets from the rest I just...

I have a press that uses the Hornady Lock N Load bushings--same idea

same here: l cast, PC and size all in one operation. I can empty a 20 pot (18 lbs get used actually), PC and Lee push-though size in about 2½ hours. Bullets are 200 gr
