This post is a goof. It was supposed to go along with someone else's about primer residue goofing up his RCBS press. I must've pressed "new topic" instead of "reply."

I used Lee Hand Presses to reload 500 L ammunition. With these presses, the primers are collected in the hollow space under the shell holder. When that space would fill up, I'd just tip the press over and dump out the empty primers, and the dust. The problem with this practice is that I didn't bothe...

I finally got one. I've had bullets push back into the cases on ammo that I've reloaded for my gun. I've used the FCD to crimp some rounds, but haven't gone and shot them yet. This one thing will keep you from the headaches that I've had with my Model 71.

Azoil, I bought one of these at the gunshow last weekend, but I resold it the same morning that I bought it. I didn't even cut the zip loc tie on the lever to try the action. Mine had spots where the blue was worn off, but the blue that was there wasn't speckled with rust. The wood on yours in nicer...

It was one that I bought from another vendor at the gunshow.

I bought it and put it on my table for 275.00, ...

In his youth, he was a marine in the Pacific and he helped to fight the Japanese. One of the places he fought was I...

I just bought a 25-2 a week and a half ago. I like the idea of moon clips and 45 ACP ammo. The one clip I have is a pain to load and unload, but if I buy and load several clips up ahead of time, I can do the loading and unloading at my leisure. If I run into some 45 AR brass or ammo I'll probably bu...

I had a Model 94 Classic in the carbine length. Mine didn't have a saddle ring on it. It was a good looking Model 94 though, with the octagon barrel and the semi-fancy wood. Good shooter too.
