      Tumbling...

      It is not the brass that scratches the chamber - it is the grit that sticks to the brass that scratches. And the dishwasher is for cleaning the cosmoline off of surplus rifle stocks (when wife is gone)!

      Lee loader?

      Lee used to advertise that a world bench rest record was set with ammo loaded with a Lee Loader - don't remember the details.

      Wheel Weights

      I have had good luck at some smaller scrap yards. Sure, you pay market price for lead, but they tend to throw anything plumbus in with the lead. I have bought bunches of 50/50 bar solder and full Linotype machine ingots for the price of scrap lead.

      Tumbling...

      Purpose: 1. Clean off grit and grime to keep from scratching dies. 2. Remove lube residue from loaded rounds so the do not pickup grit to scratch chamber (let's not start the good v. Bad on tumbling loaded rounds) 3. Make pretty ammo! You CAN save money reloading if you buy just what you need...

      Cast boolit sizing and loobing!

      I love the Lee push- through sizers (when I size). I like the idea of pushing the bullets through backwards. Are you making a "nose punch" from epoxy or similar stuff for the pushing pin to keep from flattening the bullet nose?

      LEE Powder Measure?

      I have had great success with the autodisk. Disgustingly accurate for the price!

      Over all case length?

      Really depends on what you will be using the ammo for; plinking and general target shooting - fine...national matches - maybe use uniform brass. I have never had a noticeable problem with that much variation.

      Help me preserve an ammo crate??

      Consider applying several coats of spar varnish for a durable finish. Or you cover it in a light layer of fiberglass...

      The Activ hulls were quite good - thatt was a good application of polymer cases.

      marlin 45-70 govt

      Marlin 1895 My Marlin 1895 has been my go-to gun for deer hunting for about 15 years (not in Indiana, of course). I am a native of MN and WI and still hunt there regularaly. The .45-70 is a facinating cartridge and is, I believe, still the oldest cartridge in continious production. The...

      Lightweight AR Stock???

      Mako/FAB Defense Sniper Stock In my continued search for the best of all worlds in a non-collapsing stock for an optics-equipped, hard recoiling, AR rifle....I came across this stock, the SSR-25 manufactured by FAB Defense and imported by the Mako Group. FAB Defense is an Israeli Company and...

      .458 SOCOM shooters/reloaders...

      They are sometimes very slow in verifying new members - I joined when the board just recently was reactivated and I think it was almost 2 weeks before I was granted full rights. I too would love to see a group buy on brass or bullets for the SOCOM - anything to bring down the price! There...

      Best pistol cartridge/rifle combo for IN deer?

      Well, after much agonizing, debating and seeking input from many (much thanks to everyone here!) I made a decision............. Against pretty much all reason and rational argument I purchased a Rock River Arms .458 SOCOM! I added a Millet DMS scope and I love it! So why this oddball...

      Lightweight AR Stock???

      I shoot a .458 SOCOM with a standard A1 buttstock and I have heard quite a few folks talk about the Ace Skeleton stock. I am just wondering if the reduction is stock weight will have a negative effect on balance? My rifle (RRA 16.5" upper and stock lower) is already a bit nose-heavy... Jim

      Slugs in a Taurus Judge?

      HBBS slugs in Circuit Judge? I thought it was interesting that Hoening did not say that their slugs were unsafe in chambers other than those cut to their specifications only that they did not "recommend" it and that they "we will not make a determination for appropriate use in other chambers"...

      Micarta Rods for tang instead of steel?

      I have had good luck using thin-wall brass or stainless tubing filled with epoxy or devcon dyed to the color I want for colored pins. This is the matrix I use for making mosaic pins but I have made some solid core pins as well (just rough up the inside of the tubing so the epoxy will grip well).
