The big question is: How can he stop at 50?

The wife brought up a thought, has anyone tried coffee in their tumbler (before brewing)

As for myself, I do better with a longer barrel. More front weight or rise in speed, not sure.

I have been doing the mix and have been able to get flat brown brass looking new with no extra work.

Here's a thought, have you tried the non-dealer brass sales on the forum?

He used to shoot competion, law enforcement, reload and sass. Yea, I watch too much youtube.

Sounds good. I like buying you, Brian, this way everyone in happy. Dillon gets there cut, brian keeps the forum up and, the nest part, I have Dillon stuff!!!

My get here is that the 550 has no powder check, so the OP went to a 650 to. Have a powder check station.

I have been trying to keep with unique, because you powder will pour out of a 9mm long before you could ever over charge it. Fine for plinking, and most any round.

I haven't got into the rifle reloading yet, but check out dillon, all my pistol dies have spring loaded deprimer pins.

No, we would never do that.

I would agree with checking powder too. I had an 8mm mauser doing a prefect keyhole when firing a batch of the test loads.

My wife likes the shiney brass and made me get a tubler, it does look good!

I found many times after you add in shipping and transfer fees, you might be better off finding a reliable local ffl.

Back in the 90's I was trying to buy a bar, I wanted to make a beer and pizza joint with a Military theme. Now I use the name to sell surplus on line to make some extra money, not enough to quit the day job, but it helps to pay for my shooting addiction. I also use it for my on line gaming.

If I ordered thru Brian, should I be getting the Blue Press? Almost 4000 rounds loaded and no Blue Press magazine.

Rice sounds like it would work fine. Only thought is, would it absorb the polishing compound and get soft? Give it a try and give us an update.

I'm looking at making ammo for vintage Webley, so I want to keep the correct diamiter and a low powder charge. Good to know I'm on the right track.

He said FART, LOL. I use the standard tumbler with no problems. It has even cleaned an anciet ground dug case and made it shiny and new again.

My question is: can you resize 38 spl and 357 to make 38 S&W ?

What I did to find max oal for a firearm, was to take a properly size case cut it lenght wise on one side. You can then seat a bullet high. Chamber it, it has enough give to push the bullet into the case at max oal for the chamber. I would drop it down a hair so your not sitting on the rifling. Then measure. After that you can use that same test round for function and mag fit. And the bullet comes out ez for the next test.

My thought too! Now that it's 21 the old 650 can have a beer!

When I was stationed there in 84 I made there. Althought we just slept in the train station.

My collection is mainly WWII but I do try to get an Infantry weapon from every U.S. military era. The oldest is my brownbess. I have a (repro) zouave and 1851 navy to cover the civilwar. Many more, mostly rifles. One thing to remember when collecting, is keep to your original plan because it can grow into a monster.

Thank you, but remember, the real heros never made it home.
