So you find some powders stick better or worse depending on the alloy?

Something like this from Thingiverse is what I was thinking. And like LiveLife pointed out, having inspection slots added would allow any color filament. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:159714

For those with 3D printers (I just ordered one), any chance of printing transparent(-ish) tubes of the right dimensions and attaching them end to end? Each segment wouldn't be very long, but if a few of them could be strung together with enough rigidity, that could be an inexpensive way to get...

The website description says "Use with Auto Bench Prime, Pro 1000, Pro 4000 | Auto Breech Lock Pro, and Six Pack Pro presses." Will it work with the new APP Deluxe? Looks like it will, but it's curious the APP is not mentioned.

What kind of Hornady publication did they have?

Sorted the last of about 1200 pieces of 9mm range pickup while watching the early NFL game. Tried to talk myself out of sorting by headstamp, but it's habit at this point. At least I shouldn't have to do it again for awhile. Most - if not all - was stuff I had picked up at local ranges over...

Agreed, "tedious" is a very good word for it. I'm hoping they enhance it to allow multiple selections again. Yeah, but they redid it within the past few months (last fall?).

I got one of the newer Deluxe APPs (Lee product page; Midway) a few months ago - the one with the new priming feed system - and I've used it for depriming (1000s of cases), case sizing (1000s), case expanding (1000s), priming (100s), and cast bullet sizing (100s). Just handgun calibers so far...

Even on sale, for the price of 4 of the Lee bullet feeder dies a person could probably get a pretty decent entry level 3D printer. I don't have one, but it's tempting. I'm thinking about getting into progressive reloading, and I was looking at the bullet feeder dies, and doing the math. More...

Nice! Did the other 3 bushings come installed on the dies included with the kit? If not, Lee might have screwed up packaging the kit.

There is some discussion of that on Cast Boolits in this thread.

Precision Reloading has free hazmat if you spend $175 or more on powder/primers. code FREEHAZ

I'm a member of the Over-Thinking Expanders Club myself. Using NOE expanders and seating casted/coated bullets on a single stage press, I have found that just a hint of a flare prevents most lead shaving. But I still can get the occasional finished round that won't pass the case gauge after...

If you have a lead thermometer, you can also keep the temp below the melting point of zinc (787*F if the internet didn't lie to me). I've seen people talk about keeping "smelting" temps 750*F or below. Anyway, it's another possible failsafe for you to evaluate to see if it has value for you.

Today at Miday you can get a Lee Pro 4 20 bottom pour for $72+tax (free shipping) with RELOADING050523 code. Good price for these days, and if you don't like it resell it. Just my opinion, but you'll improve your odds of successfully learning to cast (and enjoying it!) with a tool made for the...

Lots of primers available at Midway: https://www.midwayusa.com/primers/br?Availability=Available&cid=17587 CCI Large Pistol Primers #300 CCI Small Rifle Magnum Primers #450 Federal Premium Gold Medal Small Pistol Magnum Match Primers #200M Remington Small Pistol Primers #1-1/2 [edit] CCI Small...

The bushing system really speeds up switching out dies, though. I have just one press - a RC - and I usually load 50 rounds at a time. If something goes wrong with one of those rounds in the later stages, the bushing system makes it easy to quickly expand/seat/crimp a replacement round (having...

Got an email this morning from NOE about new powder through expanders. https://noebulletmolds.com/site/product-category/powder-through-expanders/ Looks like a new product from them. With Lee working on M-style powder through expanders as well, it's an interesting time for these types of...

What alloy do you use?

The Scheels in Sioux Falls, SD has a pretty good selection of most brands of powders (except for Alliant), in-store only. Link here (choose a store to see what powders they have in stock; they don't list prices online). Powder availability isn't exactly a "breaking news" event these days...
