If it's maybe an ounce or less, I just dump it in the next jug of like powder and shake it up.

Calamity Jake shipped me the brass quickly and provided the tracking number as soon as it was shipped. That deserves a big THUMBS UP in my book.

Probably easier in the long run to purchase another plug from lee. Send them a bullet and they'll send you back a plug for that bullet. Or just get a stock plug and use it for RN and the epoxied one...

1000 CCI small rifle last tuesday at the local GS were $31.08 out the door. They also had some powders. H748 was $18.00 lb, FFFG was $18.00 before taxes.
Bought some brass from jballs918 and then proceeded to have family troubles on my end. He patiently waited for his payment and then promptly shipped the brass.:drinks:

Why remove the primers. Most likly there is to much roll crimp and the case is bulging there. just run The finished rounds through the resize die with out the decap pin and use them up.

So a case full of 2f or 3f and off to the range?
That sounds too easy.
Thanx for the info.

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I have a S&W 1903 hand ejector that I'm reasonably sure used Black Powder cartridges back in it's youth.
I have modern .32 S&W long ammo for it, but I "think" ;-) it would be fun to load up some...
Best thing for that purpose.
Not a lot of investment if someone decides they need it more than you.
When I started reloading that is what i started with. Did 9mm, .38/.357, .40 S&W, and 7.62 x...

The T slot stuff you're thinking of is made by 8020. Just search for 8020 on fleabay. They have an outlet store there. I don't think the woodworking type will hold up to reloading. I have some single...

Kinda like cleaving a diamond with a steal chisel and a wooden mallet. I suppose folks can't do that either.

OOPS, maybe no Midway purchase just yet. They are not bullets that are made for gas checks, they are bevel based. I got them at a garage sale today for $5.00. They are made by Mangus. 5 unopened...

I'm not new to reloading but I am new to "Gas Checks". I know what they are for and how to instal them. But how do you know what size to use??

For $30.00+/- just buy a set of .380 dies and you'll end all the confusion.
