    Sturdy safe question.

    Do you think it is worth my money to get the extra 3/16th stainless steel on the sides of the safe? That option is 600. It would make the sides of the safe 3/8th thick and resistant to torch and hammer/ax attack in the common areas thieves target. they can also add regular 3/16th sheets there...

    Lee dies & 500 S&W

    Santa brought me a Lee 3 die carbide set for my .500 S&W. The instructions with the set make no mention on how to set up the seater die to roll crimp. I had assumed these were roll crimp dies? Is the procedure with this die the same as other dies? I only have large mag rifle primers. How...

    I have read all the threads and reviews about the Lee Classic Cast single stage being a stout press. My question is regarding precision fit of the parts.

    Primer shortage...?

    I guess the panic has set in. I was pricing primers today on the Midway website. They were sold out of ALL PRIMERS. Grafs were sold out of most of theirs as well. Hopefully once the panic settles down some the componet hording will slow down as well:mad:. Leave some for everyone people!

    Powder and primer choice for S&W 500; H110? or Lil Gun?

    Was going to choose Hodgen H110 until I read a thread about just a small amount too much or little can cause a pressure spike; enough to cause a Kaboom. For shooters here using H110 have you seen anything to indicate it is very sensitve in this regard? I would think as long as I follow the...

    Alliant American Select loads for .40 S&W?

    I plan on loading .40 for my Glock 22. I would like to use Alliant American Select as I read about it being a clean powder. In the loading data on their sight (the pdf file) it seems to only show the max charge. I will use starting loads or maybe even a little less to avoid a potential glock KB...

    How tall do you make a loading bench

    Got a press and some other goodies coming on a big brown truck. How tall do you make your bench. How many of you stand when you reload? Or do most of you prefer to sit? I can imagine standing while loading for a few hours would get tiresome. I have noticed quite a few pics on the bench thread...
