That is fantastic!! Well done.

I will look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't use any media or tumbler. I deprime, then soak in dish soap and water. Rinse and load. I want my cases clean so not to damage my dies,but careless if the brass shines.

I use a Lee Universal deprimer for all cases. Then I soak them in water and a little Dawn dish soap. Rinse and dry. Ready to resize,prime and load from there. I want the cases clean,but couldn't care less if they shine.

The Lee turret press has an auto indexing rod that after the handle has been pulled the turret spins when the handle is brought back up. He has taking out the indexing rod and manually turns the turret to the next station. I had the Lee Classic Cast turret before getting the Lyman. It's a...

I have the Lyman TMagII turret. It does speed up the process some,but if you had the Hornady quick change bushings on you dies you can change dies on a single stage press pretty fast. I personally see no point in 7 or 8 stations on a turret. I have never used all six stations on my Lyman. I am...

I really like the looks of a GI 1911. Unfortunately,the GI grip safety eats the web of my hand up. The grips turned out good.

Wow! I really like the looks of those grips.

I also have the Traditions (Pietta) 1851 Navy in 36 caliber. I use a .375 Speer swaged ball over a lubed felt wad and 15 grains of Goex FFFg. Very easy shooting load, but still get the boom and the smoke.

I don't see anything good coming of Bass Pro buying Cabelas.

What are you loading with HS-6?

For me it's Titegroup. When powder was tough to find I stumbled across 8 lbs of it and due to the low charge weights still have 4 lbs left. It works ok for 9mm,45acp, and 38 Special. I will say I have not been able to use it with lead projectiles in the 9mm without leading.So I load 9mm with...

Thank you for the picture. I was trying to imagine how that worked.
