    What is the best bullet puller?

    The bullets don’t have a cannelure and they aren't crimped. The come out pretty easily with an inertial puller. As it turns out, I forgot that I had put aside a stash of loaded ammo in addition to the rounds that I knew I had. The total number that I have to pull is actually around 800. I...

    What is the best bullet puller?

    I think I’ve decided to buy the RCBS puller. I like the collet design better and I like the idea of being able to adjust the gripping pressure more easily by just turning the handle in or out slightly

    What is the best bullet puller?

    Because of a family health issue I’ve had to sell my .308 rifles and I now have 400-500 loaded rounds that I want to pull. I’ve always used an inertia type puller but I’ve never had this many rounds to pull so I’d like to get one that’s faster and easier to use and won’t damage the bullets so I...

    I'm new to wet tumbling..questions

    So after many years I've finally decided to enter the 21st century and switch from dry to wet tumbling with a Frankford Arsenal Lite tumbler. I have two questions. First, I'm going to use a few drops of Dawn and some Lemi Shine but I've seen the quantity of Lemi Shine to use vary from 1/8...

    Which 223 Length Gauge to get

    If all you’re interested in is case length, lock your calipers at whatever length you want to use as your max length and just try to slip each case through the locked calipers. It’s just as fast or faster than using a gauge. If you want to set your sizing die and/or check finished rounds for...

    Wet tumbling question

    I think that’s what I’ll do. I was thinking of getting the harbor freight dual drum tumbler and making a single large drum out of 4” PVC. I’ve heard that it’s a little noisy but my tumbler runs out in the garage so that isn’t a factor. With the money I save by getting the HF tumbler, I might...

    Wet tumbling question

    I've been using Imperial for as long as I can remember and I’ve never stuck a single case so changing lube isn’t something that I want to consider. I wipe the cases down after sizing and the “residue” isn’t something that you can really feel although when I drop them into the Sheridan gauge...

    Wet tumbling question

    I’ve dry tumbled my brass since I began reloading but my current tumbler is fifteen years old and it’s likely to give up the ghost sometime in the not too distant future. When that happens, I might consider going to wet tumbling but I have a question. After resizing my bottleneck rifle cases...

    Selling Brass what a pain.....

    When it comes to firearms and related items I’ve found that there are more really ignorant people out there than there are intelligent and informed ones. That’s the reason I frequent this forum and four or five others and that’s about it.

    EAA Churchill 612 Akkar..............

    This is an update from my post of 10/14 (post #11). I have about a hundred rounds through my Churchill 612 now and I can truly say that I'm very happy with it. The action is smoother than some higher priced pump shotguns that I've shot and the fit and finish remains excellent, just like the...

    Questions about FA primer seating tool

    I wasn’t really familiar with the RCBS Bench Priming Tool but now that I’ve studied it some, it looks like something I might consider. I don’t have much room on my bench so I mounted my RCBS Trim-Pro to a piece of plywood and I C-clamp it to my bench when I need it. No reason I couldn’t do the...

    Questions about FA primer seating tool

    I've never had a problem in the past so it's possible that I was just being a little nonchalant in seating them. The arthritis in my hands has become worse and I recently haven't had the same "feel" when seating primers. Also, I was seating CCI 34 military primers for the first time in quite a...

    Questions about FA primer seating tool

    I noticed that Lee issues a warning in their hand primer product information that all Federal large primers frequently caused the entire tray of primers to explode during testing. I don’t use Federal primers and am familiar with their thinner cup but I was wondering whether this issue can...
