Mine took a hot 45 Colt load about a month ago and kept on ticking. Since then, I stopped stacking targets to save running down range to adjust the chrony.

Yes to all (Sorry for the late reply). For my guns though, I use Simple Green for the stainless parts and Simple Green Blue (Aerospace) for anything that might contain aluminum. An additional bonus is that I can fit a bicycle cassette in it as well for cleaning. I put a ton of miles on by...

Two steps for me: 1) Ultrasonic cleaner with a squirt of Dawn dish soap and some Lemi-Shine (~48 Mins) 2) Tumble in corn or walnut media (~ 12 - 24 hrs) Spotless, shiny brass. Ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight. I researched the rotary tumbler with the stainless steel pins but opted out...

What I find odd is that I can't find W231/HP-38 anywhere, however, I have Bullseye and Power Pistol available with no limits locally. I actually prefer W231/HP-38. Funny, I see you aren't that far away from me either.

I too am upgrading to a progressive this xmas after swearing I'd never need anything more than my single stage hornady. I went with the Hornady, got it on Cyber Monday at Amazon for $379 with free two day shipping as I am a prime member. I get most of my other stuff from a Midway, but Midway...

In my sonic cleaner, for brass I use: Lemi Shine Dab of Dawn Dish Soap Brass comes out "wicked clean". I tumble it for about an hour (or overnight if it's my last batch) to dry and finalize the polish. Since I switched over, my brass inside and out is spotless. I never messed with the...

Talk to Luke (Dakotared). The only cast bullets I use come from him. Fast shipping, great bullets.

I've not had any problems with emailing their Tech Support. I've never tried to call them so I can't help you there. Around the holidays, I'd cut most places a lot of slack as I'm not the only one on vacation ;-)

No. I stock very few rounds. I prefer to load up what I intend to shoot with a little extra in case I decide to shoot more ;-)

Have you seen this thread?

With the Hornady kit, I assume you have the Hornady thrower. Have you broken it down completely and degreased it thoroughly? I had to do this three times with mine. On top of that I use that anti-static spray for clothing to keep the powders from sticking due to static cling. When you empty...

No shelving here, I chose to build a custom drawer to hold my Hornady dies. I have a wooden stop on the right side that I adjust when I add new dies. It needs to be readjusted after this holiday season. Works much better than a shelf.

Make sure to spray it down with that anti static spray ( I think mine is for clothing). Powder just falls right out when I empty it when I'm done. Make sure to ask for a McDonalds straw as a stocking stuffer too.

Browning Hi Power CZ75B (Stainless is more accurate ;-)

Any particular powder(s)? I see a lot of Hodgdon powders at gun shops. I even scored 2 lbs of Varget and 3 lbs of BL-C2 in the past week. Now IMR 4895 is a tough one to find...
