    Hornady "LOCK-AN-LOAD" progressive press question!!

    Like others I have only used a LnL and only for pistol calibers. There was a learning curve. Some of the issues I dealt with were, The rotating pivot adaptor on the case feeder would not rotate. solved that by waxing (paraffin) the the pivot and pivot adaptor surface. Learning to watch the...

    Sub caliber tumbling media?

    I use the chips also. Mine came from https://tbbullets.com/southern-shine-media-1/ I had too much trouble/hassle with pins in anything smaller than 30 cal. The chips are magnetic and like stated above about a half hour is all you need. Primer pockets won't be shiny but all the loose carbon...

    Imr powder in metal cans still good?

    I got some IMR 4320 in trade. It may be a little dusty but it chronographs at the velocity and ES you would expect. I'm using what I perceive to be the oldest can first.

    Annealing Services vs Buying an Annealer

    I second the induction process. My wife put the kibosh on my flame annealing so I looked at induction and found the GinaErick thread on Accurate Shooter. The thread has been going since 2016 with a lot of ideas for people of all skill levels to use. I just finished my version using Bruce's...
