I don’t have a universal decapping die either. Another one of those “nice but not essential” things.

I have literally never used a powder trickler or a powder dispenser/charge thrower in the 14 years I’ve been loading. They’re nice no doubt but not at all essential. I have used the aforementioned bullet puller many times though 🤣

I don’t wanna talk about it….

Just stop welding bullets Muddy. Wouldn’t that be easier? There’s no need for a welder in ANY reloading kit as it is, and it’s amazing you haven’t blown yourself up doing that near powder and primers in the first place!!!! How “bonded” do your bullets really need to be anyway? 🥴

Three things not in your list that you technically don’t need to handload a single cartridge but wisdom and humility dictate you should have if you’re serious about this at all are 1. A chronograph. Without a chronograph you’re flying blind. Pressure signs are fickle and not enough on...

Welcome from just a little bit northeast of you, Saskatchewan here. I have just one question to start off for you….you’re from Montana and you go by the title “palm tree”???? Neither of us are anywhere close to palm trees, so there’s gotta be a good story here, I’m all ears! 🤣

Northern Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories also have A MOTHERLOAD of uranium ore (and the Canadian Shield geologic formation in general) And Trudeau might even smile upon it, it’s not a fossil fuel!!!!!!!! 🤣 There is a town just below our northern border against the Northwest...

Ima put that on a t-shirt 🤣

Ima figure out how to make this stuff in my backyard….or die trying!!!!! The latter is the more likely outcome I suppose. Seriously though what we need are some smaller scale producers of smokeless powder not tied to large corporations, governments and their militaries or agencies, or...

That’s actually really cool to me that you can obviously tell which bullets were lead cores on the steel target. Neat!

Do it!!!!! The hammers are great bullets and I use the lightweights in my 257 bee 10 twist…but dang it I wish I could sling the 134 ELDM or the heavy chinchagas feenix is working with as well.

That’s true BUT….another idiotic thing the leftists like to peddle is that there’s too many people and that it’s somehow a virtuous or responsible decision for young folks to not have kids. 8 billion people is a lot…but there is still WAY more than enough to go around and then some. When we...

That explains why they seem so cranky and homicidal!

Welcome from Saskatchewan!!!! This is a great forum and a wealth of knowledge, experience, shared data, and thought provoking questions, and how much a person earns has nothing to do with whether or not they should be participating in the dialogue here!!! You like guns, you wanna learn more...

And I thought things were bad in Canada!!! Holy smokes man that’s horrible, hopefully things change for the better
