Just a couple quick pics on the setup for my final powder coating session for 2022. I find it best to have everything ready before I turn on the heat!…

Why not start out your handloading with the cleanest brass you can have? Get yourself a small rock tumbler and polish them up about 40 rifle cases per drum. I…

Primer Pocket Uniformers, to be exact! You can re-cut your primer pockets to spec in seconds. This is also a “One Time” operation. Another! “Oddly satisfying tool” by Lyman.

My first reloading press, and I still use it on a regular basis. I keep a universal decapping die installed so I can quickly prep cases. Happy decapping!

If you use a “Kinetic Bullet Puller” just remember that the little collets either break or go missing. You can substitute a “Regular” shell holder in a pinch! See the…

For small game loads in the .30 Cal. rifles. More info in the Casting Section. See you there!

Sooner or later you’ll need a case trimmer if you shoot rifle reloads. I bolt mine right to the bench right through the bin, so all the brass shavings stay…

These loads are tested and approved load data! I have tested all 3 of the loads in .223, they work great! For more interesting and unusual loads see the “Reference…
