One more vote for Johnson's paste wax, it has worked for me for many years.

Nice looking pigs. I thought that this might be an election results report at first!

First things first, clean the danged gun! "(the pistol still has organic residue on it from the suicide)" I think that I'd object to a gun with "organic residue" on it being in my house. That's just gross! After it's clean, then it's just another gun. If you like it, keep it. If not then...

Jasper1573 you just need to get another cap (the aluminum part that stripped) from Lee and start over. Re-read the instructions. You had the die adjusted correctly before you backed it off a quarter turn". The die can not take the kind of pressure applied by a press going "over center". It...

XD9SC feels better to me, didn't measure it though.

I don't buy cast bullets, I cast my own. I'm fairly critical of weight variations in my bullets for a different reason. I know that I'm not perfect, and I can make mistakes (I know, hard to believe isn't it!). I suspect that when I have weight variations, I could have voids in my bullets...

Good word Chuck. The only thing that I would add is that I keep my brass in "batches". These batches are normally sorted by manufacturer and number of reloads. When I get one or more pieces that need trimming, I trim the whole batch. This keeps the whole batch the same length, and aids in...

They seemed to be pretty effective in 2.75in folding fin aerial rockets from Cobra gunships. Our ground guys seemed to like the fact that once we were through with a couple of passes with "nails" nobody fired at them, and everybody and everything in the target area had little Xs all over them...

For me, it's center of mass. If I suspect that my attacker is wearing body armor, then I'd go for the head. Pelvis would be last resort. Just my two cents worth.

Yes, and cast my own bullets too. Can't say that I save any money, because I shoot more to make up for any savings. ;)

The little 222 is one of the most accurate rounds ever made, and it's a lot quieter than the 223. That's a big advantage for varmint shooting in my part of the country. If I can't use my 22 Hornet or 222, I jump to the 22-250 or 243. If I'm going to disturb the neighbors it's going to be for...

45-70 in a H&R HandiRifle.

Get a bullet mould and learn to cast your own.

I agree with Ranger335V. I might add that there's nothing to be gained by buying all of your dies at once. You might be better off to get a basic set of dies for one cartridge and get used to reloading with that one set. By the time you're ready to move to the next cartridge you'll have a...
