      Lubing Lee REAL bullets?

      Black powder neophyte here, I been messing around with Lee REALs as of late, and even got them to shoot fairly well out of my traditions hawkins woodsman. I didn't know what to make of the lubrication process, so I just brought a can of crisco with me and lubed them on site. It worked well, I...

      Lee Ultimate Turret Press

      Lee released a new turret press. Pretty interesting how modular they have made it. I wish they opted to re-design the pez dispenser safety prime thing, but everything else looks solid. I am happy with my lee pro 6000, but I can see this fill the niche of a versatile, all-in-one pass, press...

      Old Jukar .45 Caliber Rifle and overthinking BP newbie questions

      Coincidentally, this forum post from modernmuzzleloader forums explains a similar situation that I am facing and is an excellent baseline on what to expect. In a nutshell, I found an old jukar .45 caliber rifle in an to be demo-ed abandoned house. At a glance it looked functional, minor surface...

      Loading for 9mm subs using titegroup and 157 grain casts

      UPDATE 7/22/23: 2.6 grains of TG did the trick. Locked back in my vp9 and fed flawless in my ap5. Out of curiosity, I loaded down all the way to 2.1 grains and was able to get it to cycle and lock back. Will stick with 2.6 as it felt very underwhelming and doesn't seem to be anywhere near over...

      PSA: cased activated powder throwers

      PSA, perform your powder throw checks often, particularly in case activated drum units. I caught my lee auto drum seizing up, resulting in no powder throws on the last few progressively loaded rounds. Out of abundance of caution, I purged the batch into the defect bin to be pulled later. In...

      Lee pro 6000 first impressions

      Press came in today. I got it mounted on the bench and greased up the contact surfaces and index mechanisms good. It started out stiff at first, particularly the primer slider binding, but with a tiny dab of grease here and there, everything started working like clockwork. Kudos to Lee on...

      Brass Catchers

      My amazon-special universal mesh brass catcher zipper broke and I'm due for another brass catcher. The mesh ones run alright, but I noticed that sag after 20+ shells which mis-aligns the brass catcher, resulting in cases not being intercepted by said catcher. I do alot of AR plinking, and the...

      Powder going bad?

      I been cleaning out my one-off powders as of late, either by utilizing them or bartering them off. I have a 1# jug of barely used cfe pistol that i seldom used since my go to powder has always been titegroup. I figured I should put the 1# jug of cfe pistol to good use and load 9mm with it. As...

      Anyone run the MARK 7 POWER TRIM XPRESS?

      I hate every minute of mass volume trimming 223 and 300 blk (conversions) by hand. I looked into press mounted trimmers like the DILLON RT1500 and been eyeing the mark 7 power trim xpress. It's cheaper than the dillon RT1500, so I decided to pull the trigger on the power trim xpress. Anyone run...

      DIY case annealer made from scraps

      I needed a better system than annealing cases by hand. I took inspiration from motorized anneal drum design, so I made one out out of wood scraps laying around the shed, a power drill RPM regulated by a zip tie, a bent piece of threaded rod, bolts and screws, aluminum flashing, and a corn beef...

      Reloading for the k31?

      I been reading alot of mixed things about reloading for the k31, from having to use k31 specific resizing dies to being just fine with using the lee 7.5x55mm pacesetter set. I got the lee 7.5x55mm set on the way, as I've atleast heard from multiple accounts that while it is designed for the...

      Cast bullets in a mini30

      This has been a long going project of myns to accurize an early serial # mini 30 that shot minute of berm with factory steel cased ammo and minute of paper at best with the brass stuff (100 yards). Some early serial mini 30s are notorious for having barrels cut to .308" rather than .310". On top...

      Anyone used Ginex Primers before?

      Specifically the small rifle primers. I never heard of them. Sources say they are a bit oversized and thick? Planning on running them on AR's. Any input is appreciated, thanks

      Powder mesure PSA and leaving powder in powder measure

      PSA and TLDR: Always check your powder measure throws. Had an instance where powder left in a powder measure dispensing low/no powder after being left in the hopper for less than 48 hours (yes i checked it was open). I've been hearing mixed opinions about leaving powder in the powder measure...

      brass cases with small flash holes?

      Was resizing/decapping and bunch of 223/556 range pickups the other day and I would come to a complete stop on cases, particularly ones headstamped 1k 13. I shined it down with a flash light to look inside the case and I see a single, but smaller than usual flash hole. Forcing it down a Lee...

      Fitting on a 1911 slide?

      My cousin wants to fit a chrome slide for a Taurus pt1911 and is open to have a gunsmith do it. I know nothing about 1911s except that the aftermarkets oftentimes come unfinished where they will need to be fitted on. Any 1911 gunsmiths/recommendations near Howard County/MD that can assist...

      Fired brass management

      What measures do you take to manage your own brass? I been trying to make it an effort to keep track on how many times I've ran brass, but I have some mix-ups from here and there. For my bolt actions, I catch my shells and put them back in the box. Revolvers are pretty much the same way...

      lee 356 120 TC

      Impulse bought a lee 6 cavity 356 120 TC. Anyone use this bullet mold? I been waiting for this mold to come back in stock for a while now. I heard it's a great mold and bought it since it's a pretty cheap mold compared to other 9mm molds and I really like the lee sprue plate lever release system...
