I like your inspection mirror idea. Very clever.

I didn't find that to be a fact. I guess it depends on how many rounds you load in a sitting whether its worthwhile for you.I find handling the tiny primers awkward.

Some reloaders like the "feel" of priming by hand. That is to say they feel the primer going to the right depth. If you are getting the proper seating depth priming by your setup then go with it. You just don't want those primers to stick above the case. You might look into the Lee Auto-Prime...

My Remington 870 Express was having a real problem jamming with cheap rounds. I was told to polish the chamber with steel wool on a cleaning brush to help eliminate this problem. It did eliminate the problem but now the bolt opens when I fire the gun, sometimes all the way and sometimes just a...

I've had similar problems. Only with Winchester 5.56 NATO brass. Have had it happen about 4 times in as many years. Don't know why, maybe over worked brass.

I've been considering trying Missouri Bullets, could I get the code too, please.

My first loads were .44 Special, all done one at a time on an old Lee Loader. Lord, that was tedious work.

You really don't need a PTX on the LNL AP as you will be charging your round on the powder station (#3 position) right after you flare the brass (#2 position). As far as the taper crimp seating combo die, just follow the instructions included in the set and you will be good to go.

Flamethrowers are far more effective against marshmallows. Throw in grahm crackers and Hershey bars for even more fun! ;)

Here is a cost calculator that I use. You can do the figures for yourself. For me, my 9mm loads are more consistent and accurate than factory loads. http://www.handloads.com/calc/loadingCosts.asp

I picked up a bullet while picking up brass. It was a dark green color and very hard and slick, like a very hard polymer. One of the guys that was there said it was one of his reloads and the bullet is a lead bullet with something (I don't remember what he said) baked into it. He said it was a...

Try This I'm not positive,but that looks like one my cousin had years ago for his 10/22. As I recall there was a little handle that was used to turn the top wheel against a spring, then you would load the ammo on the rubber belt grooves. The spring would then turn the belt to feed ammo into...

Italian M1 Here is a short article. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/04/11/the-italian-garand-beretta-bm59/

In the boat world it's called two-footitis. In the shotgun world is it called half inchitis?

Son (says the old guy while he adjusts his pants) it's just a matter of self control. I can tell you one is never enough, and one more just don't quite seem like enough. You will find yourself coming up with new reasons to buy new guns, all wiill be completely logical to you, but sound...
