I'm thinking the wife isn't gonna like me using the dryer. I'll do it until I get caught then just ask for forgiveness. I've been using the toaster oven at 130º.

I too am new at this but the method I use seems to much longer than needed but, what is time? 1. Preliminary inspection...quick overview 2. Tumble for a 1/2 hour or so. 3. Lube with unique and a shot of one-shot to the inside of the cases. 4. Decap/size, FL, on the Hornady LNL. 5. Deswage...

Does swaging a case primer pocket even if it wasn't a crimped primer hurt anything?

The following has happened: 1. Installed the RCBS FL sizing die (thoroughly cleaned using H one-shot) 2. Set the die to flush with shellplate, sized a few cases (they were high) then set die to about 1/8 turn deeper causing the "cam-over" feel. This resulted in cases measuring between the two...

It's for the AR15. Since I broke the expander trying to get the case out of the die (I now have a better idea on how to do this but a day late and a dollar short) I have bought a RCBS dedcap/resizing die. As for lube, I will ive the Hornady Unique a try. One reason is because everyone in the...

I backed the die out because I wanted to see/compare the results. Being new to this, I was trying to better understand and learn. Sorry, it wasn't a neck sizer but is a FL die. The brass should have been lubed quite well. I put them in a plastic bag (about 80 to 100 pieces) and flatted...

Well, just started resizing/decapping .223 on the H LNL (new to reloading). I tumbled the brass, lubed it with H one-shot then started the resizing/decapping. First issue is that when I check the headspace using my Dillon guage, some are right at the low level and most are above the high...

As you can see, I'm new to this. The other side of the shop is for welding and machining (welder is 25' from powder and powder is kept in the cabinet). Items are the LNL with ez eject and powder feed, new dim. dies for .223 and .40, powder cop, Lee FCD, and much more.

I have previously purchased ground walnut media and will use it until exhausted. The first couple of batches that I did included about a tablespoon and a half of something similar to Brasso. I ran the tumbler and also broke up any lumps before putting in the brass. The brass came out looking...

I actually used the search to help determine what to get and ideas on reloading. While it's a nice feature, sometimes one just needs to start the ball rolling again as times do change :eek: I have read the LNL case feeder can be finicky and is part of the reason I am holding off for now.

After much reading and working thru the Ford VS Chevy views, I have gone with the following. I've started cleaning some brass and am working on getting into a "routine." Hornady LNL AP Hornady new dim. dies for .223 and .40 Lee .223 FCD (I will try both crimping and not crimping) Hornady...
