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...
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 ;-)
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.
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...
Gorilla Grip Gloves, $4.99/pr at The Home Depot. Last me at least 5 months a pop.
I wear them for all reloading activities though, not just handling cast lead bullets.
Latex work for me for short, periodic tasks, but to put on a pair of latex gloves each night would kill my hands over time...
Ruger American 243 compact.
I just picked up one for my son for his 13th birthday on Wednesday when we go out hunting. He thought he was getting it for Xmas (he is) but I am sneaking it out a little early.
He is a small 13. I plan to load up some lighter end rounds for this winter for him to...
That seems a little high for a yugo Mauser, but not out of the ballpark.
Check all the serial numbers to make sure they all match.
I've had three different yugos on hold in the past six months. Watch out, mausers are addictive.
