    The difference

    The abbreviation for Missouri is not MS it's MO. MS is Mississippi and Mississippi's crime rate is no where near California. Get your facts straight!

    Flash Suppressed powders

    American Pioneer Powder FFg is a good one. It's silenced to. Doesn't even make a noise when you shoot. :D

    Lee Factory Crimp Die

    That's the biggest load of BS I've ever read on a reloading forum. Yeah you'll find out when you made a mistake only when your rounds won't chamber in your gun. :roll:

    Powder shortage

    I stay stocked up. Maybe I could help them out and sell them some powder until they get back on their feet again.

    How to best deal with removing spent primers

    Lee made a big improvement over their original 4 hole turret press for catching spent primers. Instead of the primers falling into the base of the press or onto the floor the Lee Classic 4 hole turret press has the ram drilled out so the primers fall though the ram into a plastic tube that's...

    Baffel for Lee Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure...

    I've got 6 of the older Auto Disk with the square type hoppers and one of the Auto Drums but I like the Pro Auto Disk better than the others. I did convert my old square hoppers to be able to use the brass thumb nuts instead of using a screw driver to install them. I cut the heads off of the...

    Baffel for Lee Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure...

    My Lee Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure does a great job but I do have to keep the hopper close to full to get really consistent powder drops. I decided to try using a baffle that takes the weight of the powder instead of the bottom of the hopper. I've only tried it once with CFE223 powder but so...

    US Army wants biodegradable ammo

    If lead kills wild life then I should have also died sometime in the mid 60s from all the lead sinkers I've crushed with my teeth on fishing line. I believe I might have even used lead split-shot sinkers to chew on instead of a tooth pick. :roll:

    Found a pretty good deal for .223 cases on Amazon

    Yep it is at my range too but the problem is I'm the only one shooting at my range so it's hard to get any quantity that way. :D

    Stainless steel media for cleaning

    I knew somebody would say something about Brasso. I've been loading since 1962 and I've never had any brass ruined by Brasso. I even did a test one time and put a bunch of different calibers of brass in a container with Brasso and was going to leave them in it for 6 months but I forgot about it...

    Stainless steel media for cleaning

    I've been using my Thumler's Tumbler AR-6 model since 2002 and it's never had any problems. They're pretty expensive new but I lucked up and found a used one on E-bay for $55. I use corncob media with Brasso or mineral spirits in mine. Stainless steel pins will make cases shiner but after...

    Digital Calipers

    I was reading some of the reviews on Amazon from people that purchased Mitutoyos digital calipers and it appears that the fake ones from China are a big problem. I would estimate that about half the reviews were of people complaining about receiving the fakes ones instead of the real thing.
