      Thoughts on The Lee Six Pack Pro Kit

      I also have the 6-pack pro and really like it. I never really used any other presses though so take that for what it is. I briefly messed with the Lee 4000. The primer mechanism on this as stated above is awesome. I have lost maybe 3-4 primers. I got the stick on LED fitted light for it which...

      What did you do at your reloading bench today?

      Hey what will you trade me for an unused Lee 4000 press? I have most of the parts. Press itself is 100% complete but I got a 6-pack press and took the powder drop because they didn't have the deluxe 6-pack kit in stock. I think I have 2 plates. 44 mag and 6.5 grendel. Just looked I think I just...

      Double Load(checked that box)?

      The new 6 pack Lee press has a new priming system that is fairly accurate. The issues are usually me with inconsistent cranking. Once in awhile I'll get lazy and one will get crimped. Overall as long as I pay close attention it's reliable. The other Lee priming is garbage.

      Double Load(checked that box)?

      With me it is usually a primer misfeed.

      Double Load(checked that box)?

      I thought it was overkill that I weigh every single round. Now I am not so sure!

      Bullet Weight vs Powder Type vs Recipe

      I was going to go with the minimum load and test with a chronograph. I know that doesn't equate exactly to pressure but I have no way to test pressures.

      Bullet Weight vs Powder Type vs Recipe

      Well shit, that is the first I have seen that page. I think that solves all of my issues. Thank you! :beer:

      Bullet Weight vs Powder Type vs Recipe

      I am confused how reloading recipe are formulated. For instance, I reload 6.5 Grendel. I use 123 grain bullets and the recipe (I use the Hodgdon recipe calculator) specifies to use Accurate 2230 (among others). If I move to a 129 grain bullet, there is no recipe using any Accurate powder. For...

      Corrosion from mouse urine

      Punch the primer and run through the tumbler again.

      What does it cost you per round to reload shotgun. Is it all 12 gauge or some other like 20?

      new rifle - ladder rounds

      I've never had any issues with any of mine. They all run like a top. I have 5 .223s and 2 "other". I wonder if it is the ammo? I don't think there would be a problem with factory ammo but maybe some reloads could cause issues?

      Cleaned up the bullets and primers that I pulled and punched. They had various amounts of powder clinging to them. I got the below and it works great. Sift from one sieve to the other and in a minute all the powder was off. I highly recommend it! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C8TJHBKP/

      Pulled 100 bullets

      I don't need to do anything now because all of these bullets are pulled, powder dumped, and primers punched out. I was looking more for a post-mortem on this and what could I have done. When I tested the cases that would not fit, I found the primer end of the case was ever so slightly larger...

      new rifle - ladder rounds

      One way I found my reloads were not working is I removed the upper from the lower, put the upper in a stand (upside down), and manually fed the rounds. I found many of them would not seat all the way and were getting stuck in the bore. Have you tried putting your empties back in the bore and...

      Pulled 100 bullets

      These will allow me to resize loaded rounds (bullet/powder/primer)?

      Pulled 100 bullets

      I was wondering if there was a way to resize them without pulling everything apart. I am not familiar with this die can you post more info on it?
