I feel for you. I am lucky in that I am constantly reviewing the stuff I have and selling things. I don't want anyone to have to go through a ton of stuff in case anything happens to me.
I know...

I once found about 300 rounds in a dud can. It was clear that someone tried reloading and gave up. There were mis-seated primers, 380 rounds with 9 mm and other anomalies. I pulled them all down...

Viejo is an interesting watch. He's also on Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/WalterBunning
Since YouTube has guidelines against reloading, he shows more on Rumble.

From Star documentation sent to customers in 1962. No specific sizes indicated.

Outpost75 is indicating that since 9mm is a tapered case, if you size to .358, the thickness of the case wall is very important. If you choose thickwalled brass, it will not chamber. So, if you do...

If you have to ship it back, use Pirate Ship to get commercial pricing. It's easy to setup an account and you'll save 50%+

I posted in that thread, but realize you may not have seen it, so posting here:
What is the diameter of the:
Star top punch 1/2"-27 pitch. $25
I am wondering if it can be used for 9mm. I...

I recently purchased from two smaller reloading companies because they had good deals on primers. I checked the sites thoroughly, made sure that they allowed cc purchases and checked other forums to...

Other forums have similar rules to avoid scammers and the like. I have seen other sites only allow S&S type postings to paid members. I pay for this site since it is such a good resource and I want...
Yes, the 357/38 collet is specifically made to grab 9mm (.355/.356/.357) bullets. The more exposed bullet the easier to grab it. Also, an aggressive crimp will make it difficult to pull, especially...

I will also assume that most of these scams are originating outside of the US, so the ability to arrest the people gets even more complicated.

I've found that over the years I have gotten better at feeling any stubborn primers. I immediately stop, check the headstamp and toss if it is a known problem. I use a lot less force than I used to...
I use this one: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018312232?pid=936563
I like the backpack nature of it so I don't have to carry everything.

Midway just dropped Remington SPP to $58/k

I get so little mail these days after moving to all electronic billing that I only receive mail about 2-3 days out of the week. The mailman drives by but just skips my mailbox.

I think I've heard it about the 650 and up.
Forum: Cast Boolits
As others have said, the main thing is that you have flexibility in the primers being used. SPP are a lot cheaper than LPP now. Also, if you have to swap primer seating in the Dillon's, I've heard...

Do you deprime the 5.56 first? I've seen some of the rollsizers also deprime, but clearly state you have to sort out any berdan primed brass or else there could be a stoppage.

In terms of feedback (specifically regarding the Straight Shooters and Deadbeats section), I find that only 10% of people leave feedback. I agree that # of posts is a decent proxy for that...1 is...

I put mine in a single stage press, adjust the height of the die with the collet so it doesn't grab too tightly (or not enough) and then just start pulling them. I have the Hornady one. The only...

At least here in the Northeast, Cabela's has a sale on Winchester SRP, $63/1k.
I see it on their website, so I think it is nationwide.
Forum: Frequently Asked Questions
The different companies (Hornady, RCBS) have a bullet puller based on a collet system, which I find much better than kinetic removal for larger batches.

Yes, you are buying the label from the USPS, Pirate Ship is only in the middle giving you access to the commercial pricing. You type in all the info for the package and then just choose which...

And the rule here is to do it at the maximum of once per day. I.e. don’t bump it to the top twice in a day. Depending on the activity on the site, it can be moved to page 2 the same day.
