The larger pins I got those from a vendor over on CastBoolits by the name of orisolo. There are other places that sell pins but I don't know who or where they are.Pins get lost by falling on the...

It's all I use, and pin diameter size does matter. I used the .043 pins and some would lodge in the flash hole, use the .063 pins now and no problem.

Here I thought I may be the only one whos wife doesn't gripe about what I do. My stuff is in 5 different locations, my room, family room, shop, patio, and my lead is piled up on the back 40 and never...

I used those when I was a kid (8-9yrs old) for my dads loads, and yes I was responsible enough back then. I remember it was labor intensive back then, but it produced pretty good results, enough for...

What it does is remove a lot of the loose brass that is still hanging on after it gets cut. I've done around 750K doing it that way and it really helps keep loose brass out of the dies. Not to...

I'm sure the blue ones are more accurate than the red ones...:p

Just make the things, I convert those all the time. Thing is folks are hung up on head stamps. Seems the ones that are fussy with head stamps are the ones that wait the longest....

Just got back in from the shop.....Machined down some brass for conversions and Hydroformed 100pcs for the 32Rem....from 30-30..

Same here........Figured it was the hackers again.
Forum: General chit chat
Some of you are getting a distorted understanding on that phrase. All I do is convert brass and some of them want everything the same, what I call the perfectionist syndrome. Like on the 221...

Depends on whom you ask. Wife harps on me all the time when folks get brass from me and want all the same heads stamp, even the same year on some of them....
Forum: General chit chat
Oh boy do I......Right when 300 Blackout brass was at it's pinnacle, and I was doing at least 20K a month it was next to impossible to find that stuff.

Things will change by demand. Remember just a short while ago things of all kinds seemed scarce and/or hard to get no matter what it was. The folks that had.....will say 1K of something now wanted to...

I went as a Vendor at a show in Phoenix AZ last year, which wasn't a large show by any means. Because of the location (inside a football stadium) there were no powders allowed, which sucked rocks...

Just use the things, there's no difference between them and the regular non-cannelured cases. Same metal composition as well, just use them and be happy. I can't even begin to tell you how many K of...

Poor construction of the bullet itself. I've never had that happen, but I mainly use cast anyway. It might help if you were to clarify a couple of things.
Are those store bought?
Are they reloads?
Forum: General chit chat
No they aren't..
Rarely....And I mean rarely....Do I machine off the head stamp on cases. Usually takes only .005 removal and wont effect anything hardly at all...
