Actually, I have a jar of it out in the shop that I have never used. I grind them on a diamond wheel.
I seem to remember when Marbles sold those with a knife as goodolboy says. Also, Western Cutlery of Denver sold a set, but they had the leather washer handles.

Now you are getting back into when I started reloading. Some are sure to disagree with me, but I remember reading that it was a mixture of mutton tallow and lampblack. It was messy to use, fairly...
Maybe what you have is " Mold Prep", sold by NEI. I have used it for years with very good results. Can be found on their website.

I have only used the Redman liners from Brownells, they are top quality.

Thank you Sir. I lost my oldest son to suicide a little over ten years ago, he was 40 years old. I really wish someone had been there to talk to him.
I have a receiver site, it's bolted to the rear frame of my F150.

In this area,(New Mexico), it would bring that price easily, with a good bore, and in 30-30 which is much sought after.

The way that tool is made, the shell holders must have a chamfer on the bottom in order to work. Some of the older RCBS shell holders won't work either.

Had the same thing happen on a new 20 gauge. Brownells has them in three different styles.
I had a nasty surprise a few years ago when a fellow I've known for years gave me some 222 cases which had been sized, trimmed, and primed. Looked okay, so I loaded them with my favorite charge of...
I have a 3" model 60 that is accurate, and absolutely dependable.

GOOD! Had the left eye done about four years ago, right eye is scheduled for January. Took my open sighted 336 out a few days ago, set up a target at about 40 yards, took aim and couldn't see the...

Very nice gift, Sheldons are good machines. I've restored several lathes, shapers, mills and other machine tools. You will get much enjoyment from that.

Ropinerol is what I take, and it really makes a difference. I have neuropathy, and RLS, it helps with both, as well as tremors in my hands.

Thank you for sharing that, many reloaders did it that way, probably the very best way to get uniform temperature.
Thank you Preacher Jim, I have been doing that since I started casting in about 1961. I often wonder why there is so much complaining about things when the solution is so simple.

Yep, I have owned Remingtons since the 1950s, including 722s, 600s, 700s and 788s. The only extractor I 've ever seen broken was one I tried to remove from my 722 in 222 Remington, and I broke it....

It is entirely possible that you have lost nothing. Primers are very hard to kill, I have done quite a bit of experimenting with them. I have soaked them in oil, solvent, water, and they would still...

Yes, the Ideal loading tool company was bought by Lyman, don't know what year. And, RCBS bought out Lachmiller because Lachmiller was selling excellent quality loading dies for $8.50 per set and...
