Pulling boolits and/or bullets. So I do everything I can to avoid the need.

I don’t know about Red Dot or Green Dot, but I have loaded 357mag with Blue Dot about 25-30 years ago that I pulled. The dots had faded so much it was not possible to see them. I am sure I would have...

I did not vote. I believe this is like chasing a ghost. All brands are held to tight tolerances.

I load 13.0g of 2400 under 210g boolit in 44spl brass. My S&W 29 loves it.

No such thing as too shiny brass. That is like saying too much ammo or too many guns.

My bench stays neat because I put things away when I am done with them. That way I can find what I am looking for in just seconds.

A Rockchuck is an animal similar to a woodchuck that is found in the Rocky Mountains. It was the favorite target of the founder of RCBS. That is what I understand anyway.
