Have you considered the collator and dies discussed in the 'Making That Bullet Collator' sticky in the 3D printing subforum of the Special Projects forum on this site? The .stl files needed for 3D...

Have you considered using Dawn as sizing lube? It’ll rinse off easily.

I'd also recommend Prusa, either the current MK3S+ or the newer, faster MK4 depending on your budget. I bought a MK3S+ kit 2 years ago during their Black Friday sale and love it. I chose Prusa as I...

I preheat ingots in a 20 lb Lee Magnum Melter and transfer the lead to my RCBS ProMelt with a ladle. Thought about mounting my old Lee 20 lb bottom pour above the Promelt and connecting the valve...

Thank you for the quick reply.

Does Quickload have data for the 45 Super and 9x25 Dillon cartridges? I want to work up loads with Enforcer for 45 Super and Longshot and AutoComp for the 9x25.

Thinking Quickload will help but...

I have to log in to see it.

I upgraded from a 20lb Lee to a ProMelt several years ago (right before they were discontinued for the ProMelt2's initial release). I use my old Lee pot to preheat the ingots. I run the Lee at max...

I use my PACT Dispenser when loading Wby 30-378 at near 100 grains. Trick is to scoop most of the powder for each round into the scale’s pan before hitting the Dispense button.

When I bought my S&W 500 revolver I bought a box of factory ammo so I could shoot it before getting dies, etc. The hottest ammo at the store was 350 gr Hornady; in the big revolver the felt recoil...

I prepare the heart as Dave describes above except that I dice it in a 1/4” dice. I then cook it in a little butter with diced mushrooms, onion, celery, & jalapeños and minced garlic. I then add...

Thank you all for the info. The seller has five 5 gallon buckets plus hundreds of pounds of other lead such as large phone cables and race car (mystery) lead.

Have the opportunity to buy buckets of old clip on wheel weights all of which are lead. Although I’ve smelted a bunch of COWWs, I’ve never weighed them before and after smelting. Could anyone share...

If you haven't ordered a printer yet, you might also want to consider the Prusa i3 MK3S+. I purchased one a year ago and have been very happy. It's more expensive than the Enders and most others...

I’d recommend dry tumbling instead of wet. The Dillon powder funnel, which expands and flares straight wall cases, uses the carbon residue in the case as lubrication. Wet tumbling removes the residue...

I've had excellent results with Overture PETG on my MK3S+ running it at the default settings in the Prusa slicer for their Prusament PETG. I've only used Overture's Digital Blue and Space Gray.

I concur with boatswainsmate on loading the 500 with CFE Black.

When I purchased my 500, I bought a box of Hornady 350 gr ammo so I could shoot it before I got components and dies to load my own. ...

I did 3D print the parts for a handle as I didn't like the ones I found on thingiverse - they were all too fat. Designed plugs for a piece of 1" copper pipe. Skateboard bearings make it work...

I made one last attempt with the PLA (only because I'd bought 3 spools for my bullet feeders) any finally had success. Printed the first layer at 215/65 for the nozzle/bed and decreased to 200/65...

Have already printed all of the APP parts and most of the parts for the collator. Having issues with PLA warping on both collator disks and main body. Just printed a collator plate with PETG and no...

I seem to remember comments made in the "simple Hi-Tek coating" thread that batches smaller than the recommended 100ml of acetone didn't work as well, especially those less than 50ml.
