I've never used a hand primer. I started out with the RCBS bench mounted primer machine many many years ago, and found it to work perfectly. I've used the primer seater on a Rockchucker, and found the bench mounted one to be more to my liking, since I process reloads in batches anyhow. I...
I voted for the 45-70 simply because components are readily available. (also because I have several other rifles chambered in that cartridge)
It's a great cartridge, and has the ability to take down any game you may run across. It can also be loaded down to a really fun plinking cartridge.
The model 92 action is one of the stronger lever action designs, and will handle hot loads quite well. The only downside is it's so light, that it really lets you know when you're shooting hot loads.
I have a straight one purchase many years ago and it works fine for me but I'd rather have an angled one. An angled one can be set up to require very little movement from your shooting position.
Value is a very subjective thing. I'm a levergun nut, so my inclinations lean toward leverguns, but the real measure of value is if it's worth that much to YOU.
It's really hard to tell from the pictures. From what I can see, I think I'd rather be on the side receiving the $1300.00 for...
Thanks for the link Corn-Picker. Nice to have actual data instead of hearsay and speculation.
To the OP's question, There's is no way to determine an accurate answer to your question. All that can be expressed is speculation and will vary by different personal experiences, said experiences...
Both are fun weapons. I own a Hipoint .45 acp and 2 ossi's in .357. (one 24" octagon and a 20"round barrel)
For just messin around, the Hipoint is great, but for any kind of distance, you're much better off with the Rossi. Home defense with the Hipoint is fine unless your house is HUGE...
Follow this link to learn about lead and lead alloys:
http://castboolits.gunloads.com/forumdisplay.php?57-Lead-and-lead-alloy-s
That whole site is loaded with lead and casting information.
Just to be clear, load data for cast bullets is different than the same weight jacketed bullet. The Lyman cast bullet manual is a very good resource if you intend to load cast.
The best case trimmer I ever had was my brother in law. I just have trouble getting him to do it sometimes.
When I do it myself, I just use the Lee stuff and a drill press.
For a press, it's hard to beat the Lee classic cast turret. They are currently in stock at Natchez:

I guess without knowing how you do it now, I can't really tell you how to speed up your operation.
One thing that works for me though is doing all the case prep work in smaller batches. I find around 200 or so at a time to be less irritating, and a good way to pass the time on rainy days...
I reload in a carpeted area with no problems, however I don't tumble brass in there. That gets done in the garage to cut down on the noise, as well as the potential mess.
Holy crap!!!!
They weren't fast enough to show out of stock on an item that was running through there quicker than grease through a goose, and they're being tarred and feathered for it?
Sorry, I just can't jump on that bandwagon. PV has been working hard to try to take care of as many people...
One of the reasons for the idea of shooting common calibers was the belief that in the event of social chaos and collapse, that the easiest calibers to scavenge from the fallen would in all likelihood be the common calibers. Not trying to turn this into a shtf thread, but that is one of the...
