I've recently had the pleasure of finding a brass .223 case that's Berdan primed. I've learned not to force things when it hangs up so I didn't break a decapping pin, but I sure have in the past.

Thanks for the comments all. I've taken the decap pin out of the sizing die and will continue to deprime then tumble before heading to the Dillon. It's good to take in all your comments to see how...

Thanks all. I will try and carefully adjust the FL die set I have accordingly. I'm not sure what an X die is, mine just indicate they're RCBS FL. I also have a SB sizing die from RCBS but I'm not...

Hello CB'ers
I've been reloading .223 on a RCBS Jr single stage press using RCBS 2 die set FL die set. I did case prep on a RCBS trimmer machine (the one with the motorized cutter and the primer...

Thank you.
RCBS has already shipped a replacement piece. What super service , I'm amazed and impressed.
How did I strip it? Not sure. Dirty/underlubricated brass of a headstamp I didnt...

Didn't know that! I left them a question about it. Thanks for the info--- I had no idea they would help out a customer in this way.

I stripped out the little inside forming section of this decapping /sizing die yesterday and need a new one. I pulled the one out of a much older .308 thinking it would be the same.
It's not the...

Picked up an almost free pro-jector and had the case kicker briefly working... now fussing with it.
...Later that day, I'm done fussing with it and it's now in a bag. I see how it's supposed to...
Looks like all shot with the same gun, slightly offset firing pin.

I use the heater out of an old small coffee pot. a couple min on and it's GTG for a long time.

I would be checking if there were additional kegs behind that one.
Forum: The Star Equipment Corner
The ones on Ebay are available TODAY, from Magma they're available with a lead time.

I own 4 Stars...two Progressives and two Universals.
I think it's a Glock vs S&W revolver thing. Yeah, a Glock is a good gun and is probably a better defensive handgun than a blued S&W revolver...

I'll pile in here and mention that I have a Universal that Bruce rebuilt/restored and it's fantastic. The Star machines are works of industrial art that function well, even after 50 yrs of...

Doesn't take a lot of equipment. Small compressor, cheap o toaster oven WITH a thermometer to measure the temp (which will likely NOT correspond with front panel settings) and you're good.
