Currently, Amazon has ss pins for $19.50 for 2.5 lbs, but you will also be charged tax (state tax in my state is 4% which would make the total bill $20.28). The same pins would be $20.05 from Best...

Duke,
Those home-made dummy rounds are pretty cool!
I tumbled some .32 ACP brass along with some .30 Carbine brass from my dad's decades old stash (LC 52 head stamp).
All this brass I have...

I ran some .45 ACP and some .44 Magnum through the tumbler. I removed the primers from the .45 over the last two days.

I use a Lortone model 33B. I use some Lemi-Shine, non-concentrated Dawn dish detergent, and water. I get my stainless steel pins from Best Byte computers in Katy, TX. The Lortone 33B can't process a...

I ran a load of assorted caliber brass through the tumbler and sorted a bunch of brass.

I sorted and put into containers .30-06 brass that I tumbled yesterday.

I tumbled some .30-06 brass. I then started sorting all the brass I have tumbled over the last several days. This caused me to look over my brass stash and come to the realization that I don't need...

I tumbled some .380 Auto and .38 Special brass today.
Forum: General chit chat
I removed primers from the rest of my .38 special brass. I've been getting a fair amount done lately. I've tumbled a decent amount of brass, deprimed a bunch of brass, and even ordered more stainless...

I removed the primers from about 50 pieces of 7.62 X 39 brass. What was odd is that 6 of them had unfired primers in them. When I removed them the primer pockets were dirty, so the cases had been...
Forum: General chit chat
I removed primers from some .30 Carbine, .300 Blackout, and 7.62 X 39. Also, my Lee depriming die started to get some rust on the decapping pin nut and the top of the die, so I've got those soaking...

The Lyman AR Reloading Handbook does list 2 cast boolit loads, one a 160 gr. boolit, the other @ 180 gr. They aren't listed as sub-sonic as they can get up over 1400 fps if loaded toward the high...

I began to clean up my little reloading bench, but I didn't get too far as I started too late in the day to accomplish much. I found a couple of hundred pieces of brass of various calibers that I...

I tumbled the 7.62X39 and .32 ACP brass that I deprimed the other day. I just need to find the time to load all this brass that I'm prepping.
Forum: General chit chat
I removed the primers from some .32 ACP and 7.62X39 brass. Most of the 7.62X39 brass was "PMC" and the primers were crimped in place, so I'll have to remove the crimp from those cases. The rest of...

I applied some WD-40 as a corrosion preventative on the rams, handles, and other exposed metal parts of my reloading presses.

Hensley & Gibbs (H&G) molds sure do command a premium when you see them for sale second hand. I have a couple, but have only cast once with a .45 caliber H&G mold. Since that was one of my first...

Knocking out more primers with the Harvey Deprimer.
Forum: General chit chat
I knocked the primers out of some .270 Winchester range brass using the Harvey Deprimer.

My reloading set-up is in the garage. It is west facing and gets pretty hot in the Summer which discourages me from doing much reloading. Add in a one-year old and there isn't much time to sit in the...
Forum: General chit chat
I check the boards pretty frequently, but I have not been able to reload at all lately so I haven't burned through any brass. Therefore, I have no demand for any. Hopefully, that will change soon.
