I pick up a lot of brass from sales when the price is right. This is unknown origin brass. Sometimes I find stones, screws, mud wasp nests, etc. So, before adding the brass to my stocks I go overboard on the process. I actually enjoy the process. The sorting, the cleaning from mud crusted...

I back ordered some 45-70 and was at my door about a week later.

First time I had an expander rod stuck in a case, I used a dremel to cut the brass. Second time, I tried a small tube cutter. The tube cutter works well and doesn't scuff the rod when breaking through the brass case.

Does anyone know if the mounting bolt pattern matches any of the other lee presses? I'm set up for the inline quick change system.

Prices depend on source, pictures, condition. From what I have been watching, commercial sellers are higher than individuals/auctions. The "about average" prices are as follows. This is all anecdotal from what I have been seeing, price will vary a lot week by week and region to region. 30-06...

Slug your barrel. You may need to cast your own if the bore is bigger than the MBCs. Also try going the other way with your powder. Driving them faster does not always mean more accurate. You started near the top end and went over max and it didn't help. Also the added barrel length is...

No. I caught them at an auction. They were going cheap so I couldn't pass them up.

Brass processing. Have to size, deprime, and tumble 10k 45acp, 8k 40 S&W, 4k 9mm, 500 308, 1k 223/5.56, 500 30-06. Just finished about 7k 38 spl.

I made a similar one last year. I made it 3' long. But I split into two compartments thinking the majority will be pistol rounds and caught in the first half of the box. I tested it with my 5.7x28. I haven't cleaned it out yet.

I recently did about a 5 gallon bucket of 223. After depriming, sizing and tumbling I used the calipers and checked every case for length. I sorted into 4 bins. Anything within 1.747 to 1.753 got chamfered and tossed into the goodtogo bin. Anything longer went into the trim bin and was later...

This is what I was wondering. How widely accepted is it to pick a load less than max and just learn to shoot it with your gun? That is pretty much the same as grabbing a random box of ammo from the store and heading out to the range. This is how I grew up. Buy what ever was available and see...

First- I'm NOT asking to get into reloading for sale. I found a situation locally and some questions kind of stuck in my head. Last year a LGS started offering reload/hand load services and products. He is licensed for it. This is not any kind of legal question. He was unable to get factory...

If you can't find anyone from here that is local to you, for the hazmat stuff, there are other ways to clean out your inventory. Are there any local gun shops that would let you sell on consignment? Or local auction guys. We have a couple guys here that do "sportsman" auctions every month or...

I have had cases come out after a wash and rinse cycle that looked dark. When I handled them they had a black film on them. That batch was so filthy it took 2 charges of fresh wash cycles to get them clean. Otherwise I have had excellent results with wet tumbling. I use pins, dawn, citric...

I have been watching for a single stack. I'm not ready to spend 1k on one yet though. I have the bolt action rifle in 22tcm. Unfortunately the rifle can share mags with the double stack high cap mag. But I live in NY so 10rd max. I did get some mec-gar 10rd mags for a para P18 38 super that...

Picked up a CVA Scout 45-70 last week.

I just picked up the same gun last Friday. I ordered it for a B-day present back in Dec. I haven't loaded anything for it yet. I did cast some 340gr, 405gr, and 500gr bullets.

I use an old executive desk for my reloading bench. I found that I am more comfortable standing when working the press. Then I use an office chair when doing case prep work, throwing charges for the single stage, etc. I tried sitting on a bar stool at the press, also tried sitting low in a...

Local auction this weekend picked up a Ruger American (2013) .223 and a NIB Armscor 22TCM.

Last year my LGS had a jug of Promo 8lbs for $150. I haven't seen any since. Since I had a lot of it, I have been using it for target shooting loads so far in 9mm, 45acp, 38spl, 357mag, 44mag. I'm not saying its a great powder and best for everything. I just had a lot and it works for cheap...
