      Protecting Reloading Press from Rust

      Thanks so much for everyone responding and sharing how you do things- with such an investment I want to take care of it. Seems taking a good grade oil and wiping things down is appropriate. Would you also let me know what you use to lubricate the XL 650 and how often? I was searching forums...

      Protecting Reloading Press from Rust

      SSGSAD and jamesb thank you I appreciate it. I'm going to take my single stage press and powder throughs apart and scrub them good. I'll order the Zerust bags and try them. I definitely think this will be great from my less frequently used items, but it sounded like you just unbuttoned things...

      Just Took the Plunge Into Reloading

      Congratulations for jumping in; it's a lot of fun to make something and make it go bang while being safe and repeating it all over again. Im nearly 2 yrs in and still learning. Started with single stage Big Boss II (Redding) and just recently got a Dillon XL 650- love it. Lots of adjustments...

      Protecting Reloading Press from Rust

      I'm reloading in my garage and its going great (Dillon and Redding), but given that it's not climate control I want to ask those who also reload in similar conditions how you protect your reloading press and other associated items from rust? I keep the ram greased, and dies get light...

      New to Reloading

      Like you, I'm new to reloading as well, so I want to keep that in the forefront. Each reloading manual (Lyman, Hornady, Sierra, etc) has a specific recipe for their tested component selection (Primer+Case+Powder+Bullet i.e shape and weight). For safety and budget reasons (safety first as I'm...

      Recommended Carry Belts

      I use CrossBreed gun belt for my casual wear daily carry. Belts are sturdy giving a solid platform to support a full size weapon and comfortable to wear. Three colors to choose from and you can get 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch width. I went with the wider because I carry full size. Be ware, some...

      Case length gauges

      I am new to reloading, after taking class at Profire w Andrew and reading online, i use a guage for every caliber and ammo i make. My thought here is I am the only quality control person involved, so if I or others shoot my reloads they should have been checked by me. Just my two cents

      What to buy?

      sponge 80- I've been reloading for a year now, and my advice is to start by reading "Linkpimp" write up on this site "so you want to start reloading and don't know where to begin". This is a very thorough discussion on reloading, starting purchase on a budget, etc; its at the top of the page on...

      Dillion 550 or 650

      Cerberus and Be Mike, the bench plans you sent above are the same I used for my bench- very sturdy. If you use T-Tracks in you bench you can slide your press from one end to the other or remove it easily with bolt down. Leverage is not a problem, 3/8 T-Tracks are heavy duty and with a thick...

      Reloading Room Pics

      Amboy49- using the T-Tracks with 3/8 bolts for the star tighten bolts- heavy duty for this application, have had no problems with leverage on my press. As you see I double stack 3/4 inch plywood for my base with a press mount and there is zero play in it. The only adjustment I will make...

      22 at Gander Mountain?

      Hawkeye: What website are you using where you find 22lr?? As for the GM thread, I'm going when I can (3 Fridays in last several months) but have not been able to get any at the table- each time dudes arriving earlier and more folks at door so I didn't get it. Terre Haute is to far for me, but...

      Reloading Room Pics

      I wanted to post my reloading area for INGO folks as I got a lot of the inspiration from this site to build a bench and work area. I cleaned out a space in the garage and with the help of two frinds (one an electrician) was able to build a great bench and set up dedicated electrical outlets...

      Related to hunting .22lr and finding a good price. Yesterday I went to Midway USA website and placed a "Backorder" order for CCI Mini Mag 40gr plated .22lr for $311 for 5000 rounds. I've tried to set the notification emails through their website several times and time my order but I missed it...
