Been working on this one for awhile now, little bit here and there, until I get it done. Video is a bit slideshow'ish due to that, but I try to hit the important parts. Took me a few revisions to get everything working right and an ice cream bucket of parts that didnt work, or melted :) The...

Id like to replace the cutters on my Giraud with a standard square insert, but I dont even pretend to know anything about machining inserts. The idea also came from looking at a Henderson trimmer and the fact they just use what looks to be a flat cutter, and you do the chamfer deburr after...

Any ideas on age? Box says $4.00 for the 100o primers. I know they were kept in good conditions, but is it possible for the primers to be degraded at all?

Ive had my LnL AP now for about about 8 years and in that time Ive run a few hundred thousand pieces of brass through it, prepping and loading. It has always had its issues, but lately its been struggling with feeding rifle cases with more than 50 cases in it. So I just recently 3d printed a...

Looking at starting to build a 223 AI bolt gun. Mostly in the window shopping phase at this point, but not averse to buying something if I can get a decent deal. I want to build this gun from scratch and need a little direction on what action I should be considering. I do want a standard...

Popped the case head off a 308 case in my AR10 today. 47gr of CFE 223 under a 168 TMK, so just about 2gr under max charge in a LC case. Primers all look like the picture, so this was a pure case failure. Lots of smoke coming out the action. Blew the bottom of the E-Lander mag, mag dumped all...

I recently acquired some of both of these powders and need to know a bit more on temp stability of these two. Being that they are ball powders, how temp stable are they? Im planning on loading these in 308 mostly, with a bit of 223 as well. Ive gotten bit in the butt before with ball...

Gents: I have a friend that is looking to get back into reloading right now, and is looking for a good scale. I would recommend an FX120i to him, but that can be a touch pill to swallow. I have one, its fantastically accurate, and I have the AutoTrickler incoming one of these months. I know...

My LnL has seen alot of cycles, probably north of 100k pieces of brass prepped and or loaded on but Im seeing about a 1/4" of slop in my drive hub compared to the index wheel. Im assuming the drive hub is wearing out, because its made of crappy pot metal. Im assuming the only part Ill need...

I bought a house this year, so I will finally have a dedicated reloading area in my basement. Beats the heck out of reloading in the garage in Wisconsin, either freezing my butt of in the winter or sweating bullets in the summer. Plenty of space, dual benches, and lots of light My old...

Im looking at adding a bullet feeder to my LnL at some point this summer. For 223, I have an open station, so no changes there. For 9mm its another story. Right now I am currently using: #1 Hornady sizing #2 Lyman M-die #3 Hornady powder drop #4 Hornady seater #5 Lee FCD I would like to...

Just purchased a CZ 457. Anyone know if they are the same rings as a 455? And if they are, what would you recommend for under a $100. Scope will be a Leupold 3-9x40 so 1" tube.

I decided to buy or build an annealer in the fall of 2018 to solve my issues with inconsistent neck tension in my reloads. There are very few available machines that work well, and dont cost an arm and a leg. Ended up settling on the Annealeez as the Gen 2 has been available for awhile now...

Found this on a reloading group I follow on Facebook. This is the slickest way Ive seen of handling this yet. Piece is 3d printed. STL file here on Thingverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3173334

Looking for a little info for 178gr ELDs. Is a 10 thou jump about right for ELDs? Heres how it measures up on my rifle: 2.253 - tight to lands 2.243 - 10 thou off 2.90 OAL Thanks

Looks like Im going to pick up a project for a friend of mine. His rifle is a beautiful custom that was built by a local gunsmith, that normally with factory ammo is 3 shots on a dime. Gun has probably 500 rounds thru it in its lifetime. However, factory ammo is hard to find, and runs about...

Looking for some recommendations for a rear bag for bench and prone shooting with either a rest or a bipod up front. Right around $100 max, doesnt need to be a Cadillac, just needs to be functional. Amazon and Midway are my primary suspects for sourcing.

I know a few guys around here use SRPs of various manufacture for other pistol calibers. I have a ton of CCI 400 primers on hand and a few thousand pieces of SP 45 brass. Anyone see any issue with using these? Id obviously work this up, but does anyone see any issues that could happen...

Anyone notice the bearing surface being extremely short? Like shorter than a 68 or 69? Obviously not a great photo, but measuring the bearing surface of the 73, a 68 Hornady BTHP, and a 69 Sierra TMK shows the the 73 is shorter than the other 2. Now Im wondering if these bullets will...

I bought a WFT2 about 3 years ago, and since then its had about 50k piece of brass trimmed on it, all of it being 308, 223 and 300 BO (creation and trimming). For the money, I feel the WFT2 is probably the best trimmer out there, especially when it comes to adding extra calibers. During that...
