I am trying to stay heritage. My main test this year is growing to really feed us, not supplement. Trying corn with beans growing on them to see if the production is better. I get crap corn without fertilizer.
Trying yellow dent also as field corn seems to be more stable and stronger stalked...
I got M dies for 30-06 and 30-30 and my honest opinion, I like the Lee Universal better. It makes a much milder flare on the case mouth and can be used for most rifle cartridge's. M dies are cartridge specific. I have also made cases look like a trumpet with and M die that was adjusted too...

Now on compost piles as blacksmith posted, How are y'all managing them? You got sides? I've been looking for...
I never even wanted to reload and after the supply chain problem and seeing how venerable I, or the family, could be. I started reloading and casting bullets. Growing food too, but that is another story.
Used to hunt with Remington core-lokts and those have gone from $17.99 to $28.50 and that...
Anyone have recommendation for 2 gallon sprays that don't stop spraying after two years? I keep them in the garage over winter to prevent freezing. The old metal can sprayer with metal valves just are not around any more that I see.
