Hmm, that's a good bit of info, I've not run up with that yet, but hopefully I'll remember that when I go to run some brass through the tumbler. I'm pretty sure I've got a big bag of corn cob...

That sounds like it hurt.

The ones that I did crimp, I crimped good, so they're probably ruined. I'll probably use the side cutter truck for them. The others, I'm betting I can figure something out, I know some I can pull...

For lack of a better place to post, what was the most bonehead thing you've done to date/recently while reloading.
I'll start, I've not reloaded in a very long time, of coursei remember the safety...
Forum: Gas Checks
Thanks for the info, I'll give that a try too. I figured it was probably procedural error on my part. I was pretty much chucking the check in the 4500 and sticking the base to it. Most were ok ish...
Forum: Gas Checks
I wish I had seen this earlier today. I seated my first gas checks today and of course had my share of not square checks, but full steam ahead and all that. I'll try it next time.

Glad I looked at this. The article on the Lipseys .44 special by Brian Pearce had long been missing, I bet I read it 50 times. The one time I ran up with one if those in the wild I couldn't afford...

Roger that, but my main purpose for them is the old 35, but as a side project it seemed doable for the 357.

I just got a 35-200 Lee clone this morning, no more that what I know, the bullets looked good to me after casting some. They'd stick here and there, but I didn't smoke the mold like they recommended...
Finally got my Lee clone in and went out into the cold to try it out. Actually I'm kind of impressed with the little two holer. Anyone use it in a .357? I was just kind of looking at it thinking...

Those cylinders look huge in those frames. I have one old model vaquero that could use such a treatment. Oh well it'll wait. Silly question, but how do they shoot?

Mine had quit when I was a kid and it sat until I had kids of my own. They were out shooting and while I was looking at mine I noticed an oiler hole. I added, I think, kroil or light machine oil,...

This is on my list, I currently have the small 4 pounder. It does get empty pretty quick.

How long is Ben's Red good for? It's been a very long time since I've done much casting and lubing. I found plenty that I had, big plans for, but never transpired cause you know, life. Anyway it's...
Cool, well now I'm doubly excited. I certainly like the Lee price better.

Just ordered the Lee copy. I'm hopeful for something that my .35 likes. If it's as good as I've heard, I'll upgrade to to real deal, if I can find one that is.

Not new here, but just dropped it for a good long while. I'd check in from time to time to see how one member in particular was doing. This past Christmas I wanted to buy the son a shotgun and the...

An old original Ruger M77 Varmint in. 308, that used to belong to Dad. He's still around and all, but that old rifle is what hunting meant for a long time. My daughter uses it now for the most...

Looks like I'll be pushing some 165's out of my .300 Mag this year. No need for that much horsepower for deer, but it'll still get the job done, loudly.
I've had a P95 DC for many years. It has always fired when I wanted it to, never when I didn't. I would warn against cheap after market magazines, they seem to want to jam up (probably the amount...
Thanks for the article. Mr. Taffin also states, "Today the only Model 29 cataloged is the standard blue finished Model 29-6 with a choice of either a six-inch or eight and three- eighth's inch...
I was at the local gun shop the other day and got to hold a new Smith and Wesson 29 Classic with a 4" barrel. It got to stay due to the large price tag, $850 smackers is a bit much at the moment. I...
Pretty sweet sidearm. I wouldn't kick it out of the safe.
