For years I have used a camping stove to melt my bullets. On one side of the the fire I put a steel plate under the mold to keep it from warping on the other side over the direct fire I put the...
I had the idea that my 45 ACP, 625 S&W would present some problems like for example, misfires if I don't use the full moon clips. I reload using 200 gr. round nose lead bullets and 4.5 to 5 grs....

Where I live, tumbling media is quite difficult to obtain, almost impossible. A friend gave me a few pounds that I'm using. The guy said that the media could be washed then dried. Is this really...

Twidget, I took the time and went down to my basement-work shop. I formed one 7x57 from a 308. In fact the neck resulted 1/4" short. I put a light load (110 JSP) over 11 800X. It worked fine. No gas...

Is it possible to form 7x57 cases from 308 or 7.62 nato cases. I know the 308 case is significantly shorter than the 7x57 but has a bit larger diameter. Could the 308 be run in a 7x57 resizing die...
