Looks pretty handy. I might even hafta try one.

Renting could be an option. I think reamerrentals.com has them.

It could be a handloaders delight. There's already RUMs around that may take away some of its appeal for the factory crowd.. I think some guys might still be tempted to opt 30-06

Though not a cast shooter for rifles, Savages are great as you can do all your own work on them. Might be interesting to hear how many cast 308 loads it takes to burn a throat out :)

A barnes will buy you some good penetration with smaller guns. I might be tempted to use a 223 on a cow one day. Well, maybe not but I don't doubt they'll kill elk.

Tough to beat the oldies. An m8 4x would make it a handy stick

For the money, I'm in once fired mode. Though starline is good pistol brass

I probably wouldn't use it, but I've bunches of brass. If you wanna keep it I'd probably keep it in a light-load pile. That's quite a bit of material removed..

Brass brass, is cheaper and lacks the risk of scratching steel dies. Not so much a concern in pistol cartridges esp with carbide dies. That said I've used plenty of nickel; just keep it clean and...

If you have the right tools, yes that'll work. Bushing dies are the same concept except you buy the bushings in .001" increments and they can be easily changed.

I'd have a hard time selling something I want to use and can't hardly replace. That said, my arm might be twisted for $50 :???: ...maybe

I haven't shot all that much 22lr in quite some time. I just bought me a new one and my only option was trading some other ammo with a friend...gone are the days of swinging in to the store for a few...

That stock looks way, way better. Might even call it nice!

Looks like I need to be buying more rifles..

Annealing will also help. If you have a little propane hand torch and a small bowl of water you can do it. A bushing die will work the neck less. Take a peek at Redding Type S full length dies.

For cutting tools, I use the reamer for a couple turns then a vld deburrer for half a turn.

I'm in my Lee manual more than any of my other hard copies. For cast, Lyman's #4, and I like the 49th too. The Lee gets the most action for its variety and it just seems easy to get around in to me...

You can't always get what you want. But sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need. :)
It's not too tough to find large and small rifle and pistol powders online. Might not be what...

I usually get very few with my COWWs, so I mix them. If I had a bunch I'd separate so I could weigh it out and keep an eye on the mix %s.
