Natchez is a good company for consumables but if you are buying equipment, you only have two weeks to make a return if you don't like the purchase. Recently, I returned a 300.00 Sartorius electronic scale to Sinclair/Brownell's using their lifetime satisfaction guarantee after having for a year and a half. No questions asked. It added so much time to reloading it wasn't worth it. I only used it once and then it sat on the shelf.

I'm a little surprised nobody mentioned headspace. As a Benchrest shooter, we do full length size after every shot because our case tolerances are so critical. However our methods are just a little different. First we deprime the case without any sizing. Then with a comparator attachment on our caliper and a bump gauge inserted we measure the distance between the shoulder and base of the case. Since your fire formed case is a perfect match to your chamber, use this measurement to set up your full length die. On a bolt action rifle you only want to bump the shoulder back .001 to.002.. This will allow you to maintain perfect headspace no matter what brass you use. For a semi auto you must bump the shoulder back .003 to .005.. The reason being the free floating firing pins used in those guns. The bump gauges are available from Midway and Sinclair.

Range lead. I have near 1000 lbs.

I still have lead for sale. Small and large ingots(2.5lbs. approx.)90cents per pound picked up in Lyndhurst, NJ

Go to accurateshooter.com and click on 20cal on left side of page. Then read the featured article on the 20Practical. There is a video for you to watch and listen to mild report. I purchased the custom made upper for my AR and the die and neck reducing sizing buttons. The whole process is as easy as the article states. Your wife will take over ownership of your AR. I had to wait for the upper to be made, about a two to three month waiting list. Don't know how long now but mine is available for $1150. I'm into benchrest shooting now and don't have any time left to shoot it. I enjoyed shooting it when I did.

I have about 500 to 750 lbs. in small ingots. Live in Lyndhurst,NJ and will sell most of it for 90 cents a pound picked up.

My neighbor led me here. Good site. Maybe I can sell off some of the treasures I invested in over the years. Not into pistols and casting anymore, had to change over to Benchrest.

I have a Master Caster and it works great. Well worth the money. I cast reclaimed range lead with some tin added. Have a lot of lead stored up. Haven't casted in a few years. Injured arm and had to switch to bench rest. Will consider selling.
