I just finished prepping and priming 1,000 pcs of WMA 5.56 brass.
I'm only going to the Range now to pick up brass about every 2 weeks but I'm still usually finding what I consider a "Fair"...

I went to the Range this Morning (I don't go to the Range anywhere nearly as often as I used to). The last couple of times, I've found some Hornady .300 PRC and also a fair amount of 6mm ARC brass...

I'm not trying to "Brag" but I've got so much brass, it isn't even funny.
Before I "Retired", I used to go to the 2 Ranges I was a Member of at least once a week (1 was on my way to work, LOL!). ...

Here's the best explanation I know of : https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/5-56-vs-223/
Looking at the posted Ballistics on Winchester's site, it does show that their 5.56mm 55 gr ammo (except for...

FWIW, Both use the same size primers although the 5.56 MAY use a harder Primer. I've found and reloaded both of those headstamps and I use CCI #41 Arsenal primers for all of my small rifle primer...

I'd been wondering for the Past couple of weeks about why we were getting so much Spam and nothing was being done about it. I'd forgotten my Login until this Morning, so couldn't Post to ask. I...

Well, I haven't posted in a while although I do check in everyday.
About 2 weeks ago, I finished priming 6,000 pcs of Winchester .223 to get ready to reload. I've got a GSI loader for .223 but just...

I'd wondered why I'd started seeing those in people's posts. I guess they want the $400.00 in Bitcoin?....Oh wait, that was those other guys.....

I don't even try to sell brass anymore and don't think I have here or on the old site. Shoot, I was even giving brass away to some of the Brothers that needed it and couldn't find it. And I've got...

I've got some 5.56 brass stamped "IK 13" and it also has a small flash hole. When trying to find out more, I read that Lee has a smaller diameter depriming pin you can get. Not sure if it now...

I use a 5:1 mix of 5 parts 99% isopropyl alcohol and 1 part liquid lanolin. This is pretty much what Dillon's case lube is made of but my home made lube is alot cheaper. It works great and a little...

When I saw three holes, I immediately reached to feel the bottom of the die to see how bad the decapping pin was damaged (Lee's so I was expecting at least a partial chip if not completely snapped...

I'm resizing some mixed headstamp 1x fired 303 British that is mostly commercial with a few mil in the bunch. I'm setting aside any that are harder to deprime than the rest because of the primer...

Yes Sir, I had started to get an m38 when I got the 44 but said "heck with it, i don't need one of those".....I'm kicking myself now. Just like when Saiga's were $299.99, I had looked at them...

I have a severe case of OCD (seriously, I'm not joking) so I do count cases....and footsteps, stairs, etc.

The opening on the tool is about 0.532" (according to my mic) and a WSM case body measures 0.553"+/-. The mouth on the tool isn't wide enough for the WSM case to go in. Midway's site makes a note...
