I am looking at getting a new progressive for my .223 reloading and keep it dedicated to .223 only. What would be the recommended progressive press for .223 only? The Lee Pro 1000 or the Lee Load Master? These are the only two that are in my budget, as much as I would love a Dillon or...

So on the Lee Pro 1000 it seems that the spent primers kick out after resizing and deacpping and send them into the "body" of the base of the press. How in the world do you empty that?? Are you expected to unbolt the press whenever the base gets full? Please tell me I am missing something and...

I currently have a Lyman case trimmer that I modified to be able to use a drill with but the small handle that locks the case and the fact that its not really intended for a drill makes it not my favorite tool. What have you folks found to be the best, easiest and quickest trimmer? I am...

I just ordered my first progressive press, the Lee Pro 1000. I have been loading on my Lee single stage for over 10 years now so I am really looking forward to the new progressive. I am used to switching between dies for all the different stations and calibers so that is not a big deal to me...

So this is a rifle I inherited in 1990 and I have had it out to the range a few times. It is a 30-06 but that is about all I know about it. I would be interested in what it is, its rarity, parts availability(the bolt has a broken piece. I would like to have an idea of what t would be worth also...

Does anyone know if anyone sells 9mm shot shell projectiles? I know CCI sells loaded cartridges, but I would like to workup some of my own loads. Any info is appreciated.

So for a couple years now I have been using Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber but lately I have been hearing folks talking about using brake cleaner. I have, and I can get 3M High Power Brake Cleaner (#8880) from work for a couple of bucks. So my question is, can I just use the brake cleaner with the...

I am gonna ask some questions here as I have been doing things the same way for over 10 years now and I'm wondering how others are doing things or if things have changed any. So since I have been reloading I have always tumbled my brass, then resized/decapped. Now with rifle I use the Hornady...

I am gonna ask some questions here as I have been doing things the same way for over 10 years now and I'm wondering how others are doing things or if things have changed any. I have always cleaned all of my primer pockets on all of my different cases. Pistol and rifle. I have heard rumblings...
