    Nice choice. Mine is over 50 years old and all my rifle loading is done on it. Agree with JimB, buy a bunch of the special die rings so you can swap out easily and not need to reset anything.

    Buying a Lee two cavity is not that cheap ($35) and wasted money unless you love casting more than shooting. It gets old quick for some of us and that is why people buy 4-8 cavity molds. Figure...

    Neat story.

    We raised pigeons until I was about 6 or 7. My mom could make them taste good...or maybe I did not know any better. Lots of pigeons made it to the dinner table.

    There is none. But countries may refuse to sell arms directly to Israel.

    UN may send in "peace keeping" troops and that would get very sticky. I can see a few false flag incidents.

    I look at the alloy content rather than a name for an alloy. "Hardball" is a common name, and it is normally 92-2-6 alloy. Places selling Hardball list the composition. No fuss no muss.
