Thank you both. The storage is what I was thinking of too. I could end up with ten years worth of hulls that never get used :)

I just read on FB that Eric McClure died (I think er1ck but I am not sure. I also do not know if anyone else has already posted.
I spent hours talking on the phone with him over the years, and...
Forum: Our Town
I refer people often on Facebook. There seem to be a lot of guys there that refuse to read a reloading manual so I doubt they are actually following through.
As concerns the business cards....

Good point. I am passing them on to others for now as it will be years before I have a use for them unless I win the lottery...which I do not play :)

Found these. Should I keep or toss?

Hmm, the link works for me, but I cannot figure out what could be wrong with it. Crud. They are in Pleasant Plains, IL. It was started by Erica Hostetler and is titled Andrews Family Lost Everything....

I realize a lot of stuff like this gets posted, and that nobody here knows these folks, but I thought I would share it and if you happen to be looking for a place to put your charity budget this...
Forum: 3D PRINTED RELATED ITEMS
The LoaderTools group on Facebook is run by a guy that sells 3D printed stuff. Most of it I have seen other places, but he did have primer directors for the cutout in my Redding Big Boss II.
I have been reading this (obviously) as well as posts and articles concerning the endless debate of using cast bullets for self defense. In a perfect world that would not be a debate, and I would use...
All gone d stuff. I appreciate it! I am going to try not to overthink it...but I will still have to watch some of those videos :)
Earlier this year I bought a Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 Subcompact 9mm for home protection and eventual CCW. I have been rolling my own cast loads for practice and to familiarize myself with the...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
I tried loosening the front screw which did not work, but then I just took a pair of pliers and pulled on the pin that the extractor pushes and swung it out. Why I did not do that before I have no...

I followed all of those rules...except one :) I am near Oglesby and Oglesby and a couple other shops in Springfield Illinois. I will probably take it to one of them. I was really just trying to do my...

I did turn it the correct way as I looked it up so I would not make a mistake...that worked out well :)

I took apart my Dad's Smith & Wesson model 49 bodyguard cylinder to clean it for the first time in 25 years. Long story short, I cannot get the cylinder open now. I am sure I did not screw in the one...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
That was the only thing I could find on the Internets too. I was hoping to avoid joining that forum just to hit that guy up for instructions. I guess I will have to.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Does anyone have a digital copy of the instruction sheet for the RCBS Posi-Prime?
Forum: Cast Boolits
If it is not an out of production mould or a pet mould this is the solution that avoids problems and allows you to help out.
Primers in low pressure pistol ammo...good thought. I ended up starting with 3.6 grains and they were no problem even with that tiny grip. I will probably still put a Hogue on it for him. I could...
Well if the range of "normal" loads is 3.2-4.4 and 4.5-5.0 you still have a working range of 3.2-4.9 if you combine the data and assume everything over 4.9 is+P.

I do not think there is a...
You are correct sir! There is indeed an asterisk by the 5.3 grain load in the Hornady indicating +P. I had no intention of loading hot as I am looking for the opposite, by good to know. I do not know...
