BTW I bought the steel grill cloth at True Value Hardware.

I use steel hardware 1/4" grill cloth homemade trays. After I shake in powder I dump the bullets on the grill cloth tray over a plastic bin. The bin catches the excess powder that falls through and...

Sort of related. I charge a .30 cal bore brush with just a bit of powdered graphite and brush the case neck before I size and drag the expander button through the case. This prevents the case from...
