As I poured the bullets I did modify my technique to use the pour stop pour method because I was having the molten lead run over the sprue and into the cavity that I had not reached yet. When i sized...

The UFO lights from KMS Squared have been the greatest addition to my Lee turret press. For safety sake I will not operate a press ever again without these lights while loading. It makes it so easy...
I loaded Trail Boss with a 230 grain lee tumble lube bullet around 4 years ago. I do not remember what the charge weight was, but it was right to the bottom of the seated bullet. It would not cycle...

I ordered the 45-45-10 lube from White Label and got it quicker than expected, with prompt correspondence on my order. I would rather pay their fair price than mix my own which I have contemplated...

None of the shot is in the original cloth bags. It is in a bunch of 2 liter Coke bottles so i have no idea of the origin of it. i have a big coffee can of what looks to be 00 buckshot. Since I didn't...
