I've got a fair amount of RP, and it's OK.

I think the flare and roll crimp is hard on brass.
The more ya do it, the more work hardened the case mouth gets and more prone it is to splitting.

One of the fish fast food places offer one.
It's one of their battered & fried fish pieces in a taco shell with a bump of lettuce & taco sauce in there.
It's actually pretty good.

They're commercially fishing for the invasive Asian carp in the Mississippi river and others.
They are the ones that jump out of the water when a boat goes by.
They're pulling them out by the ton...

Several other places in the world raise them for food like we do pigs & chickens.

There are plenty of rules for the S&S section. And they are very strictly enforced.

However; pricing isn't one of them.
Basically, if you think the price on a item is too high----- don't buy it.

If the depth of the weights is only 2-3 inches, stirring them is no big deal.
Reach into the bottom of the pot, and bring them up. That keeps the heat semi-even as they heat up.

Reminds me of those old commercials that after the screaming,,,
the spokesperson asked, "How can they do it so cheap"?

Something else ya might want to check into is a waste oil burning stove.

It's a little more complicated, and some places have restrictions on them,
but you can't beat the price of the fuel for...

I'd think it'd work, but be kind of expensive to feed compared to scrounging wood.

I used to know a guy who was close to a company that made and rebuilt shipping pallets.
They gave him all the...

Bring the heat up slowly.

The water will boil off, then as the pot starts to melt, stir like it owes you money.
The clips and Zinc will float up as will the Zinc before they melt into the Lead.

Considering the alternatives,,, that's not a bad thing.

A lot of folks don't ever, or hardly ever oil their sewing machines. That a major factor for their longevity.
A commercial place that runs them all day, every day will often oil them either every...

I used to find some of the big Hilti concrete hammer drill bits for $5-10....

It might be a good idea to send out a sample to one of our venders that will analyze it for ya.

When I first got to MCB Quantico, Virginia, I saw a Taco Bell just outside the base.
I thought, 'Ahhh, a little bit of home'...
So I went in, and was rather surprised to see the entire staff was...

Welcomt to the forum.

Sure looks like frosting from the pot being a bit too hot to me.
I'd load & shoot 'em.

If you don't have one, I'd encourage getting a 'Lyman Cast' handbook.
It has...

Using soft lube is the perfect reason for you to get a big air conditioner for your shop.

After agreeing to 'help' a few folks, I've seen how easily it can easily turn into me doing the project for them.

I've also learned to beware of conversations that start out with, "All ya gotta...

Many of the ethnic Mexicans I've been around and worked with- they use tortillas like we would a slice of bread.

In years gone by, we used to live on those gross "Jack in the Box" tacos.
Mrs. Winger calls them 'dog food tacos'.

I found a copy cat recipe for them awhile back.

6" corn tortilla dipped in...

The few Times I've ever had to 'drain' my RCBS sizer, I leave it mounted on the bench.
I pull the sizing die & plunger out, put a trash can under it, and wave a propane torch near it.
When the lube...

I found a gently used full size van, then hunted around for a pulled out/used lift ramp.
Then bolted it in on the side cargo door.

I think I paid $500. for the...
