Can't say I blame you, even though I've never tried it. Actually never tried any JD other than Ol' #7. But due to your convincing argument of several nights ago, I fully intend to compare it to a bottle (or portion of) of JD Single Barrel Select on the night of April 1st. I'll try to not let it...

I'm thinking Flitz is sorta like Comet scouring powder isn't it? If so, I don't know how long it would take to do a measure because I'm thinking it's much finer than valve compound and typically works better with a little water. Valve compound wont need any water and wipes up/out easier and...

I've never used one of the shot shell presses from "Lee" so have no real experience. Although have a few buddies who have and seem to get along OK with them most of the time and have heard the replacement black gauge housing has made a pretty good difference over the old style red one. But I...

I think I made a slight mistake IIRC in that I used the sandpaper on the body of the Lee Auto Disc measure when I converted it to the double disc setup. I placed the paper flat on a piece of glass which was supported on a doubled over bath towel on the kitchen counter top. Then simply rubbed it...

Can't/won't argue with anything said here. And personally, glad to have you on the forum where, as I often say to a newbie: We have about 4 thousand really good and knowledgeable folks here, and one damned ol' grouch. Oh, and from the looks of your stock of bullets, it appears you do a fair...

Mr. LDB, what are you using now for a bench? If you have enough space you can get a pretty impressive work bench that makes a great loading table from Harbor Freight. Not a lot of money but a very functional table. Just wanted to pass that on.

Mr RedGoat, I've got a couple questions I'd like to ask if you don't mind 1st - Your pic# 7652 shows the 2 most common powder measures "Lee" makes and I have one of each also. I love the 'Deluxe' Perfect powder measure, but I didn't like using the smaller 'Perfect' powder measure when using...

I'll say it was as solid as most any table I've ever ran across. Fact is, it was a lot of 'overkill' for sure. But I was advised by the guy who got me started in volume reloading that I needed something "really" solid, and he emphasized 'solid'. So I built one that was 'really' solid. Obviously...

Well, thanks for the compliment, but you're right, no pics of the steel table, but I can provide more of the cart if needed. I never thought over those 40 some years I used the steel table that I'd ever need pics. And now it's out in N Dakota with my yard son. I might be able to get him to take...

You should be happy with that bench. A great idea and design ... maybe time to look into a patent??? The knock down feature would be a real boon to some like us who have very limited space. And as far as the pictures show, you must have some wood working experience. Seeing this causes me to...

I can't agree more!

This post mentions politics, but is not intended political in any sense-------------------------- just stating a situation. Even worse than the obvious, when too many relocate from blue to red for whatever reason, so many tend to bring the blue state politics with them thinking things somehow...

That's a great find, and I'm betting you'll enjoy the wife's hot tub far more than she'll enjoy your Johnson ... or maybe not? (no offense intended, just a fun play on words)

Well, it sounds like you've pretty much learned to 'make do with what you have to do with' as well. I guess in almost every way where there's a will, there's a way. Those pictures of my cart are several years old and my assortment of tools, dies, etc, has grown considerably. I'm still using the...

I'm impressed with some of the ways we re-loaders can 'make do' with what we have to do with like your 24"x24" table. Back when I started reloading, I lived in a 3 bedroom house with lots of room for just me and the Mrs. So I had an entire bedroom for my hobbies, office, man cave or whatever you...

I've been a very satisfied "LEE" customer for a very long time ... IIRC I started reloading with "LEE" dies and press about 1972+/-. I started out with a 3 station turret press and a couple sets of their dies. Then I bought a Challenger single stage press for certain applications such as bullet...

Yeh, you. :)

Once upon a time a great man said to me ..... "Open it Great bottle Replaceable. Life is about memories. Not sealed bottles on the shelf." As I recall it was back about the end of January in a thread called 'Blanton's Bourbon', and I took him at his word and said I'd be opening that bottle...

I know, I was trying to be a little facetious and a little sardonic at the same time. I don't begrudge any who can afford it, but it just seem so outrageous. If I were to spend that kind of money on a bottle of whiskey I wouldn't live to drink it ... my heart wouldn't be able to stand the...

I just saw an article about some whiskey at $6,000 bottle. Yeh, that's a 6, comma, and 3 zeros, six thousand dollars. Who in their right mind would spend $6k for a bottle of hootch, even if they could afford it? Five grand maybe, but six thousand is crazy!!! I've bought whole weekends with wild...
