The 32s&w brass l had was not good for wadcutters as it had an internal taper that bulged the case with cast and crushed the base with HBWC. I don’t know about your brass. You could measure free...

Look up RST for 2-1/2” shells, they're in Pennsylvania .

If fired with mercury fulmanate priming, they could have corrosion cracking internally. How many low pressure cycles before failure; your guess is as good as mine. I think they’re neat but wouldn’t...

I have holsters and knife sheaths that were stored in my cellar and they smell bad to say the least. What are your thoughts on remedies here? I can't search here since the word mold is ubiquitous.

If you’re loading pistol calibers, you really need a progressive loader with a good small cavity measure. I prefer fixed cavities as they don’t wander or get misadjusted. Lots of choices out there …
