Though I have only been reloading for a year or so, my ssteps are the following
1) Clean the primed brass in a vibratory polished with corn cob and a little shot of auto polish wax occassionally.
2) Tumble them in my Lyman tumbler to get all the corn cob off;
3) Go directly to my...
I only buy 1 pound containers as that is generally the only size WIN 231 is available around here. I recycle most but always keep one to fill with spent primers.
Interesting thread. I have been using a Lee single stage press with good results and hand prime with their gadget. That being said, I went a bought a Dillon 550 Progressive press and spent this weekend setting it up. I just cannot get the Auto Primer to work properly.
I like the idea of...
For me, it is my evening relaxation time. I have a single stage Lee press and it works superbly, once I figured it out. I reload both 9mm and .45ACP.

The best edge "out of the box" has to be...
I always had feeding issues with my Rock Island as it would only feed factory ball ammo...and sometimes not that.
My Kimber Custom Classic, once broken in, is the most reliable 1911 that I own. I bought it new on sale for $ 699, but I'm sure that prices have risen since then but you may still...
Now I know why I just order from Spyderco. That's a lot of work and I'm way too impatient.
Thanks for the post. It was a excellent read and most interesting.
Middletown Sportsmen's Club. $ 80 per year. Very reasonable I think and great people at the rifle and handgun range.
