I didn't get this old (71) by being stupid. Welcome back.

Can't add what's already been said, praying for a successful procedure and a complete recovery.

I'm confused and have to confess I have not read the rules in quite some time concerning the 30/30 rule. I could be wrong (many, many, times in the past), however, I thought one could buy on S&S with...

A man I worked with reloaded. He reloaded a few for me and I decided to strike out on my own after seeing his reloads did not meet my expectations. I learned by books and trial and error. Then I...

Powder position may be the issue. Is a filler used? If not, try the method Larry suggested in the past where you hold the cartridge at a 45 degree angle (nose up) and tap the base slightly on the...

I have to admit I shoot range pickup; I treat them just as would the others. Bottleneck cartridges get annealed before reloading. I only shoot cast now-a-days and loads are minimal.

I don't know what powder you're using but I bake mine at 400 for 20 minutes once the oven gets back up to temp. as a rule of thumb.
Have you tried the "smash test" on your boolits by any chance?...

Welcome to Texas. I'm up the road 100 miles or so, not far in Texas.
You can order lead from a vender or two on this site if in need and have it shipped to your door. I scrounged all of mine over...

They did in my neck of the woods, I'll have to check if they still do.

Try using a drill bit hole measure board, sort by fit. I slide my measures between stacked parts bins for easy visual.

I used a cheap travel iron on a brass plate and plugged it into a P.I.D., adjusted temp as needed. Don't get it too warm and overpressure the lube, the result is messy.

I tried using the spark plug cleaner with a .308 and .45 cartridge using baking soda and while it did work somewhat it did not clean as well as wet tumbling using Dawn and steel pins. And yes, there...
The baking soda did not do as well as I had hoped, however, I could not find (at the moment) a filthy primer pocket to test with. I will look for one when I can. I used a case that was previously...

I just wish I could remember what Larry has forgotten. Nice shooting.

Well, I did put some baking soda in my spark plug cleaner bag this evening. Hoping to try it out tomorrow, however, I have no regulator on my air tank so I have no idea what pressure might be ideal...
Baking soda was mentioned a couple of times and I plan on trying this.
I'm going to wait until this cold snap breaks.

My hat's off to those who can endure extreme cold, I can't do it. It's 15 here as I write, have cabinet doors under sinks open, pipes are wrapped, spigots covered, water taps dripping, but being an...
I've used mine for lawn mowers, weed eaters, and leaf blowers over the years. Not so much on vehicles anymore.
This experiment with brass will continue once I find some glass beads at some point....
I wet tumble also and that takes care of my needs, I'm not in need of anything else for my primer pockets. Just wanted to share what I noticed messing around.
I had some glass beads used by...
I had a senior moment and thought "What if"?
So, I found my old pneumatic spark plug holder and wanted to see if a shell holder might fit in the spark plug hole. It fits quite nicely. Now if...
