Just ordered 5k. Thanks for the heads up! Ken

I dont doubt that. They may make a fine die otherwise. They cannot seem to master the 45 colt/454 cassul/ 460 s&w mag die. Since they are still in business I will assume this is an isolated incident. They have shown me personally why I will never buy another die set from them though. I may send then the die again, the two pieces of brass from the pic, a fired piece of brass, and the BCBS sized piece of brass. At the moment I am still a little pissed off though. Ken

It would help if I uploaded the picture! Ken

OK, I gave redding a chance. They sent me back a die that is FAR WORSE than the piece of crap I sent them. I have since given up and thrown it out before I destroy any more brass. The case on the top was resized with a RCBS die. The one on the botom is sharp as hell where that ridge is. I dont think they understand the 460 S&W mag at all. I know there are people here that love redding and all but they dont know crap about the 460. Ken

Gonna try to make it. The weekend after turkey day is always a little nuts in my family. Ill confirm later next week. Ken

Out of all the scales I have tried, the 5-0-5 is still my favorite. It doesnt need to warm up, it doesnt drift, and it is not affected my magnetic interference. KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid! Ken

Wow! Go big or go home! Welcome to the site. Ken

i have shot a lot of BVAC ammo as well. I have never had a problem with their stuff. If I had a 380 I would probably buy a case from the link above. Ken

I think Ill go crack my last harvest moon pumpkin ale. This thread always makes me thirsty! Ken

I know what you mean. I just keep posting it in case you or anyone else reading this is getting desperate. I really dont like substituting components either. I have been reloading almost as long as you And am none too happy about the pricing either. The one that I need and cant find very reliably at all is Winchester large rifle primers. Like you said though, you can either pay it or park your guns. I pay it and hate it too, Ken

This ^^ That would almost be my chosen route. I take a couple different back roads in that mix with similar results. Ken

Not a bad deal if you do handload. Boxer primer brass case = reloadable. Ken

They are still in stock at cheyane mountain. I was just there today. They also have a sale going on. They are knocking $5.00 per brick off. I have no idea what the total out the door price is. I think the limit is off rite now too. I saw a guy walking out of there with 3 bricks of small pistol primers. Ken

I dont think I would try motor oil. It is proabably an excelent case lube. The problem lies in getting it off the brass. Oil is bad for primers and powder. most case lubes are water soluble and will come off real easy in a tumbler or by just simply wiping it off. Sometimes you just have to stick with what works. I use Hornady one shot and RCBS case lube #2 and sometimes RCBS case slick when I can find it. I know it costs more than alcohol and lanolin or motor oil but case lube is not something you use by the gallon. A little bit goes a long way. Ken

About a year. Generac has had various spates of engine troubles. All manufacturers have. The thing rite now is improper valve adjustments. For all you that have generators installed make sure that whoever does your first service actually does adjust the valves. I have found a lot of them to be to tight (to little clearance) and have seen one burn an exhaust valve. Improper service is deadly to any generator. Im not brand loyal and going to tell everyone the generac is the only good generator out there....its not, there are lots of good ones. Lately I have stopped using their transfer switches in favor of the Eaton switches with the RTC100 controller built in due to issues with generacs load shed module. Certain instalations really benefit by this substitution, mainly critical need, medical need situations. Overall though, I have had very little problems with the units that are installed properly. Ken

The biggest issue with lack of exercise is that bugs and rodents will start to move in. When the generator exercises it gets hot enough inside that enclosure to discourage most life. REgular exercise also keeps a film of oil on all the moving parts. Remeber, these things go from 0 to full throttle instantly when started. Ken

Yep. it will charge in any position of the switch. The only thing that will stop it from charging is to remove the battery or the T1 fuse inside the transfer switch. Ken

Look at the bright side, you where paying enough attention while shooting to identify a squib. If you are not paying attention and the squib load has enough energy to cycle a new round in you are in trouble. If you are shooting a revolver its even easier to do if your not paying attention. I did it once with a 223 round, squib that is, and would have swore that all rounds had powder. I did miss one though. Funny thing is it was a small batch for load development just like yours. It taught me to pay more attention while reloading and it has not happened again yet. Ken

Cool! Thanks man! Ken

4th one down. Ken

The picture Im in is cut in half! Looks kinda weird. I wonder if its just my own computer that doesnt like me. Ken

Good times indeed! hopefully I can make the next one too. I will definatly bring a second electric thrower next time. Ken

What he said ^^ I do all my reloading single stage though. Ken

Cool. Im not gonna go dig mine out then. I have the same machine. I will just bring a couple of cases of white flyer AA's for the all Ken

Since I have never joined you guys yet I would like to know if anyone is bringing an electric thrower? I wont go to the farm and load mine up if theres gonna be one or more there already. I dont mind getting it, just trying to be lazy/ Ken
