dickTX, LOVE the milk jug idea for the spent primers! I will certainly do that! Better than my little box with a small hole cut in the top of it.

Thanks for the replies guys. Been busy and hadnt been back in a while. I think I found the problem. The plastic tube I use is very tight and I think I need to replace it. Anyways I ran the plastic a couple inches up the tube so it wouldnt come off. However, on the down stroke the plastic...

My dry tumbler died and I went to a wet tumbler with SS media and it does a great job of cleaning. There is definitely more clean-up involved than dry tumbling and you must dry the brass or you get water spots. For me drying the brass is the biggest headache. It is real easy in summer here in...

I recently switched to a strong mount and have the spent primer tube running through my bench to drop the spent primers in a box. I love this setup because it normally is very clean and I dont accidentally kick over the spent primer bucket. However, recently the brass spent primer tube has...

jpwilly, I always use a case gauge for that very reason. Every autoloader round I resize goes through a case gauge just to be certain. I have had issues with some brass that simply would not resize no matter how many times I ran them in the die. Even tried different brand dies but when they...

Today my wife's AR has a failure to eject. I dropped the mag and pulled the bolt back and see the case stuck on the bolt. Stupidly I released the handle and the case went back in the chamber....only it didnt go all the way back in and was stuck. If it was similar to a bolt gun it would be a...

Agreed and if Mike doesnt have enough I will be happy to trade you some more!

Hornady has great customer service! I agree I wish all American companies kept their support in the U.S. and were as good as them! Sure wish computer companies would use Hornady's example. Instead when I call HP for support I get some guy in India that claims his name is "Bob" and can barely...

Thanks guys. I was planning to remove the FSP but I might experiment with cutting it down instead since you cant really see it inside the rail. I didnt really like the look of the Troy with the round openings on the side if I was going to cut down the FSP but since it is about half the...

Looking for a little help here since the search failed me. Been wanting to put a rail on my LR-308 AP4 for a while now and I know I will have to remove the front sight post and replace it with a gas block. I was thinking about getting a longer rail and covers the gas block which I THINK would...

Love my LNL AP too but it is FAR BETTER with the Hornady case feeder! I load lots of different calibers too and those bushings make things so much easier. I polished my primer slide and keep it clean and never have problems with it now.

I compare apples to apples when ordering too. Some add a handling and shipping fee others dont. It takes longer but I compare them all out just to be sure before they get my money.

Blue! That is an excellent tip with the springs. Thats one of those things you slap your forehead and say "Why didnt I think of that?" Thanks!

I prefer to buy used brass in bulk rather than buying new mainly for the cost savings. However, if you can get Lake City (LC) then that brass will last a LONG time and reload many times unless you are loading max loads. Sometimes they are range pickups so after cleaning you need to inspect...

I saw the previews all through the olympics and was intrigued enough to look up a little more on the nbc website. Basically an EMP takes out all technology and the US is thrown back into the different age because their are no more computers. This show is supposed to take place 15 years after...

Loaded many many berrys plated in 9mm and other calibers with zero problems. I use low to mid jacketed loads without issue.

I will say this...knowing what I know now, it I had it to do over again I would get a Dillon 650. Why? I think the Dillon warranty is better and I think its a little better engineering. It could also be because I dont have one and the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. :)...

When I started loaded .308 I used Lee and graduated out of it to a used RCBS set then got a Redding set and man it is the best! I looked up the prices and the Redding just wasn't that much more. Glad I jumped on the Redding.

I have had my LNL for about 5 years now and I dont have any issues with it. I really love the cheap cost of changing calibers since I reload lots of different calibers. Primer seating was something I had to learn but 99% of the time I have a problem with it, its because its dirty. I suspect...

I always look at reloading components but have yet to run across a good deal. Normally only overpriced items.
