Started with titegroup, read about the same woes and worries, tried different pistol powders, and ultimately went back to titegroup being my all around pistol powder. Only bad thing I can say about...
I use a dab of hot glue along the seating end of the seating stem to press an impression of the bullet I am seating. Good thing is it easily peels or cleans off if I need to change profiles.

I lube handgun cases to have a better feel on the resizing and decapping operation (i load on a progressive). Lubed cases run through a carbide die size very easily so it's easier to sense if there's...

They're good to go. Been hearing from the grapevine of CC's being compromised on their site. I use a virtual card to process payments as a just in case measure.

Following, would like to know how this press fares out at a "true progressive". I haven't jumped the gun on one simply because I do not need another press, but the lee pro600 is supposedly the...
Forum: Gas Checks
Needed a way to seat gas checks on before running them through the .314" lee bullet sizer (gas check does not seat/crimp adequately/evenly if run through the sizer). Designed and 3d printed a gas...

It simply converts any press that can accept single stage shell holders into a single stage bench priming system. I used to hand prime with an RCBS hand prime system, but it gets arthritis inducing...

I dubbed my loadmaster as the lemonmaster for a reason. I gave up the on the priming system and I just prime off the press. I dont put anything on station 1 due to too many ruined brass from the...

It's corrosive, but I had good luck with it in LRP's but not so much on SPP. Opted to just shelf it and hopefully wade out the primer shortage with my current primer supply.

I had good luck with my marlin 336, sized at .311 (+.003") overbore, using the same lee 170/309 cast bullet, but powdercoated with eastwood lime green powder coat and gas checked. I use 10 grains of...

Following, I've also ran into the weird issue where my k31 is shooting to the right with cast bullets even when the front sight was lined up for J-words. I'm left handed too. I seldom run my k31 on...

My Ruger american ranch x39 gets a fair bit of copper fouling from the cheap russian copper washed ammo i ran it through. After switching to PC casts, I've noticed the PC/GC actually scrubbing out...

Pretty late to the ball game with this post, but I figured to provide input based on experience:

Seems like you need to find another scrapyard. By that logic, i'm assuming that scrapyard won't accept brass casings either, since it's more susceptible to have live rounds in it.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I just primed 500 cases of mixed HS 9mm and about 10-15 cases were WCC, which are indeed crimped. I save whatever I can in a ziplock bag to swage/flare the crimps out later.

I'm only a lee fan-boy because I am perpetually too poor to afford a dillon. Funds keep going to the reloading components :-)
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Decapping before sonic cleaning helps dry the brass faster. Otherwise, it shouldn't matter if you fan dry/heater dry your brass.

RCBS hand priming tool for 9mm and things that don't really have tight primer pockets. Lee Ram prime for things I really want to bottom-out on the seating...ginex primers are seated exclusively on...

Kathy,
Not sure if you are receiving my PMs. Let me know if we can follow up with another order, thanks

It's an original barrel. Fouling appears to be lead. Cases are belled enough; pretty sure i am seating the bullet without shaving it.

Following, popular belief is that they are simply just identification numbers for manufactures and consumers. Would like to know if there is any other significance to them.
