For the most part these "wax" rings are a grease, a very sticky silicone base I think. You can look up the MSDS (Manufacturer's Safety Data sheet). If I'm contemplating using an...

Yes, I'm not sure how I did this, but I'm sure age and senility played some role...

If your brass comes to you un-beveled, just chuck the necks up (lightly) in an electric drill or drill press and lightly file a bevel on the bottom. I made all my Krop brass from resized .348's and...
