I normally use a universal decapping die first. Then, to an RCBS case prep center with primer pocket brushes, a bronze bore brush for cleaning any excess carbon, then a nylon bore brush for applying a light coat of Imperial before pulling a sizing button thru the sized case neck. Before doing...

A bore brush can usually bite the stuck brass and remove it.

I try to get out and practice handguns about quarterly. I bring every one I own and put a MINIMUM of 12-15 rounds thru each of them. I've had my iron-sight Redhawk for 40 years and it's sent thousands of rounds downrange.

While processing a couple hundred rounds of .308 Hornady brass, I found that there was a lot of variation in the anneal with equal flame and time. I weighed the brass afterward and found as much as 30gn variance with the same headstamp. I weigh-sorted groups to about 3-4gn variance and re-ran...

Thanks for the lead. I ordered 2 - one for each powder bar!

People pay big bucks for old refrigerant and having it pulled into a storage container from an old system is the only way to come up with any of it these days. Call a local refrigeration service company before you open the system to see if it makes any sense to try to recover it. It's probably...

But the thread is specifically about 9mm brass. Until Very recently, I never sorted 9 or .45acp brass by headstamp at all. Just clean, run thru the Dillon and finish with Lee FCD. All of it is just target fodder for me. Magnum stuff is a different story entirely. I've reloaded for 50 years and...

A close friend in the sporting goods business and I bought sequential SN .44mags years ago. He bought ammo cheaper than I could reload, so I have a lifetime supply of once-fired Fed 180 jhp brass. That's the only bullet weight he bought. I noticed that the casing cannelure varied several mm up...

Drilling primer holes in 9mm cases to 'save' them? Seriously?

For 9mm????? Seriously?

The new one they sent me has a removable/replaceable firing pin assembly there now. Here's what it used to do so very well:

A few years ago, I had the firing pin sticking in my 37 year old Redhawk. The frame was deformed around the pin hole from many years of full-house rounds. They gave me two choices - my unrepaired pistol back, or a brand new one free of charge? :)

Here is my Gen 2 with the Small Rig articulated arm and clamp. I went to the hardware store and bought a 1/4-20 hex coupler that was 1" long to stand it off the housing. I needed a 1/4" hex jam nut to hold the clamp tight against the upper ball swivel thread, and used the 2 small flat washers...

This Small Rig stuff is really nice and incorporates some cool engineering! All I need is a short coupling nut for a standoff to get the perfect geometry for the torch to point away from the wheels. I ordered a set of narrow wheels for short brass and I will be in business this weekend. Updates...

Where did you source this one? It is exactly what I want.

BushMaster said eBay and that's where I looked. They have tons of camera and accessory brackets, etc.

I'm with you on the disappointment for the torch head holder. I have a Gen 2 that is a great machine, but for that issue. If I were making and selling them, I'd keep refining that part and occasionally contacting previous customers with update options. Those Small Rig clamps have lots of...

What I've settled on the last several years is to work on powder charge ladders with constant brass volume and ogive seating depth. Once I pick the most accurate/repeatable charge, I ladder from a safe setback toward the lands in increments of .003-.004". I've seen some incredible results with...

I hope he's starting with plenty of once-fired brass. New 7 Mag brass has been scarce for over 2 years.
