I suggest you look online. I found both my 2015 nissan titan and my wife's 2019 Jeep Trailhawk last year that way. The pandemic got a lot of dealers to get much better at listing vehicles online. I...

For the hotplate I've seen all sorts of things from cookie sheets to old circular saw blades to make a flat heated surface. I've also seen people just set the mold on top of the lee pot or rest the...

Still haven't gotten the bench together. Ended up being pretty sick all week. Maybe feeling better, can't really decide. Hope to get the bench together this weekend.

I just received a package earlier this week from them. First time I've ordered from them. The 2k 224 55 gr fmj pulls I ordered were "minimal" pull marks, but I haven't found any pull marks. A few...
