I weighed several 38 special cases tonight just to get an idea of the differences in them. These are all nickel cases - once fired without primers. Headstamp Weight (Avg of 20) FC 88 65.3gr Federal 38 Special 65.7gr Federal 38 SPL +P...

"Even a pocket knife will work well for a few but is too slow to do much volume." That is why I like the countersink. Chuck it up in a drill and you can do a lot of cases quickly.

a single flute countersink makes a good primer crimp remover and is generally available for a good bit less than the purpose built crimp removers. I bought my last batch here: http://www.wttool.com/product-exec/product_id/36187/nm/Single_Flute_Countersinks

Two things to remember when loading cast bullets: 1. Get a Lyman M die or one of the lee cast bullet expanding dies. If you seat cast bullets as you would jacketed, you often shave the base of the bullet with the case creating an undersized shank that wont fit the bore properly and will...

I like to start with an egg sinker just bigger than bore diameter and push it through with a brass rod just under bore diameter (never anything harder than the bore) and a mallet. Once the sinker is pushed all the way through - measure it at its widest and narrowest point. The widest should be...

I've seen 5744 and some of the stick powders do that. I cleaned a barrel out into a small container when shooting 5744 and attempted to light the "unburnt" stuff to no avail. I suspect it is a matter of incomplete burn rather than truly unburnt.

Having had some time to use the new scale, I can happily report that it does indeed work better than the previous one. Now if you could just turn off the powersave feature.

It was an Oracle Database to start with because I wrote it for my personal use. I still keep all the data in oracle here and just tie to it. Kinda tough to redistribute in that format though.
