I am now 66. Casting got me hooked in 1984, reloading with my Dad started around 1971. Lots of very old ideal and Lyman molds. I have like 7 lubesizers. A couple are Lyman 45s. Can you have too many...

I just wait until the mold is cool. Then I put it in a sandwich bag with 3 in 1 oil. Put rubber band around the bag and put it away. When I need it again I put some Acetone in a metal bowl and give...

I mounted my case trimmer to a square piece of 3/4" plywood. Easy enoungh, then screwed a 2 x 4 to one edge running parallel to the case trimmer, forming an "L". Then you C-clamp the 2 x 4 "L" to the...
