Because he’s gone. I try to forget about the dogs that passed. We have 2 cats now. Howie is somthin’ else.. tons of character
A Lee FCD?Currently playing ”find the smell” at my reloading bench. Smells like sour milk and Hoppes 9. No idea where it’s coming from.
That was my first guess too. No such luck. It just can't be simple.A Lee FCD?
Sometimes I do set-up my Uniflow, this last time, I went with the scale/funnel. Nice lazy, slow afternoon loading time.I
It looks like you are old school on your reloading, and that's me my friend. Single Stage all the way. Do you scale every powder charge and funnel it in? I do use an RCBS Uniflow with Micrometer for my powder charges, then visually inspect them in the reloading block and then weigh a few to confirm the micrometer has done its job.
I am going to put my RCBS Piggyback progressive into production again just for 9mm when I get back into that caliber for plinking in a 9mm semi auto rifle.

Look how that mat is puckering up on the front edge...@.45Coltguy and other Long Colt fans will like this I think. I finally got my Starline Brass and Bullets in today for some serious cowboy plinking loads on my new Colt 45 revolver. I have plenty of large pistol primers and powder already in my component drawers and on the shelf, so the stage is set for a Colt 45 Fiesta tomorrow. All single stage, slow and steady, just enjoying my time at the bench.

I'm still puzzled about where my brass cleaning media and polish went. I had two large bags of media and two large bottles of polish. But it's gone. A very remote memory is telling me I threw them out in a cleaning frenzy. Well, I have enough now for a few months.

I know. Was just playing with you.Meh, no biggie. Just a little stretch and it's fine again. Online comments for that mat say it takes up to two weeks for it to be totally relaxed on the bench. Those ripples are tiny compared to what I was dealing with for the first three days with the end curls.
I have those loadbooks for each caliber I load for. Yes, the print quality is lousy and in many cases old, but still relevant and useful.I finally ordered a "One Book / One Caliber" for 38 Special to complete my collection. I don't really refer to these, but I have always had one for each caliber I reloaded just to have one, and I never bothered to complete the collection with the 38 Special book.
The guy I ordered it from on eBay included a bunch of old K-Mart B-1, 25 Foot Pistol Targets with my order unexpectedly and free of charge. A nice surprise. Mostly because it brought back memories of my youth. My first new 22 Rifle came from K-Mart, as did my first ammo and targets. Good memories. A bygone era.
