Rest in peace RC

Private club, about 3 miles from the house. Nice little place, but only goes 50 yds. For longer I have to go to the brother in law's farm.

I have an old media separator pan on a 5 gal bucket. Generally just toss 'em on that and let 'em air dry for a day or so. If I'm in a hurry, I'll give 'em a quick roll around in a towel, then toss 'em in the oven at 200 for an hour or so.

I prefer to do rifle rounds on the turret rather than the Dillon. Take a look at the Lee Classic Turret. Probably the most bang for your buck out there.

Polish? Never. Clean? Every time. 40 minutes in a sonic cleaner get's them clean, but not polished. Brass need to be CLEAN, shiny is optional.

Load for everything except the 7.62x25 and the shotguns. I'll get to the 7.62 at some point, doubt I'll ever load for the shot guns, just don't shoot 'em enough.

Don't take this wrong, but are you confusing polished with clean? I've got a Hornady unit, and it typically just needs one 40 min cycle to get things nice and clean. They'll look bright and shiny when you rinse 'em off, but they dry sort of dull. There might be a bit of carbon in the primer...

Glad your buddy is OK.

I guess my "oddest" would be the .38-55

A burn rate chart only shows you the relative rate. In other words, powder A burns faster than powder B. It doesn't tell you HOW MUCH faster. Stick with published data.

I'd get a Lee Classic Turret and be done with it. I load .38-55 and .45-70 on mine and have no issues at all.

Get the turret. I have one and load .223 on it with no problems.

No issues with the plated stuff. I load my 10mm in nickel, and the .40 in brass. Makes it easier to sort.

Probably use more Varget than anything.

Frankford Arsenal and Lee Lube

Dillon 550, Lee Classic Turret, Redding T-7

Loads out of my Garand tend to be pretty close. Most others tend to be slower.

The Lee Classic Turret is a great press. Highly recommended unless you're loading some of the bigger rifle rounds.

Another vote for IMR4895.
