Anyone measured the volume of lube to pour in a Star. I did the overfill once and poured less lube in the next time. Still a little too much. I'm thinking around 1/4 - 1/2 cup of lube. I was...

I learned how to use one pretty easily and I'm mechanically disinclined. Great press for loading pistol. I've since moved on to a 650 and that was primarily because I got such a great deal on the...

What portions of each. I have a couple of gallons of extra lard I was thinking about using up to make lube. I'll store the bullets and lube in an empty refrigerator at a temperature of 40º. I have...

I agree you can do it. I would definitely strain it through cheesecloth or a paper towel. I usually strain lard into glass jars. I use a lot it for cooking. If using to make lube after straining into...
Kimber TLE and a SW 625JM. Both are great. My Walther P99 shoots pretty well too.
And all 3 shoot way better than me.
I'll agree with this transaction from my end too. I appreciate JMN322's patience with the shipping snafu. Snafu was not the responsibility of both ends of the transaction but the middle man (USPS).

I heard these are great and in high demand. Reviews are mostly positive too. Its too bad they have been discontinued. If they work someone should start selling them. Maybe a campaign to bring them...

Plug any numbers and manufacturer listed on the motor in to Google to see what comes up. You should be able to find another one.

Sounds like we need 2 locations. One for winter and one for the snow birds.
Indiana is pretty good about firearms with a lifetime license to carry a handgun. If a couple of counties could be taken...

I suspect that in addition to a cast pot getting hit the application of high heat to cold metal or the reverse may have something to do with it.

I have a piece of 3/4" plywood cut to the size of the tabletop and clamped on. The Lee pot sits inside a cookie sheet. I'm perfectly comfortable with the safety of this set up. Although, I need to...

Local gun store had primers for $30/K but I'm not sure which ones. He didn't have large pistol and I didn't ask about small pistol. Brands were CCI, Magtech, and Winchester.
I've broke several of them lately. Now I will make sure the mold is hot before pouring. I also have a friend who is opening a skunk works and I think I will have make me some extras out of scrap.
