      Lee auto-drum powder measure

      I'll throw my $.02 cents in here as well. I've been using it for over a year and am still pleased with it. I load 9mm, 45ACP, and .223. I think it's more accurate with pistol powders than ball rifle powders. Highly recommend it over the auto disk or the adjustable charge bar. Here's a quick...

      Lightweight CQB AR15 Build

      Yeah, as much as I'd love to go down the SBR route, this one won't be it. Going to avoid the ATF headache this time around, but will give me an excuse to start another build down the road.

      WTS/WTT: Magpul PRS Stock and Magpul MIAD Grip

      Like new Magpul AR-15 PRS stock and Magpul MIAD grip in foliage green. I am also throwing in the A2 buffer tube, spring, and buffer. Everything you need to use.

      Lightweight CQB AR15 Build

      I'm working on a new lightweight AR build that I'd like to gear towards self protection in the house. I know there are better options for that, but I don't give a rip. I just want to build a cool, lightweight AR, period. Anyway, I've been going back and forth on a 14.5"+pinned and welded...

      How do you store your powder?

      I use a weathertight plastic container with a big bag of silica gel. http://www.containerstore.com/s/storage/storage-boxes/clear-watertight-totes/12d?productId=10026213

      Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure quick review

      I understand your concerns. However, I didn't get anything near a .6 variance, but a +/- .2 grains (.3 max variance) from the median was about the max I encountered, and that certainly wasn't the norm. I will say that I tried to be very consistent in how I processed each throw. I also...

      Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure quick review

      So I ran some tests as requested. My scale wasn't extremely reliable. I had to recalibrate frequently due to the numbers drifting. Most measurements were within the accuracy range of the scale. However, I would occasionally notice the tare weight would change between measurements without a case...

      Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure quick review

      I'll test this out tonight. My scale isn't a precision scale, but I'll test what I can and post back.

      Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure quick review

      Had a few minutes to test out the Lee Precision Auto Drum powder measure tonight. I ordered the powder measure and an extra set of drums from titanreloading on Friday and it arrived USPS today (Monday). They had the best price and reasonable shipping, so happy with the service from them. The...

      Lee Auto-Drum Powder Measure available for order

      If you've been waiting for the Lee auto-drum powder measure to become available, it's finally listed on fsreloading and titanreloading. It's actually cheaper than the auto-disk measure. Got one on order and will reply with results once I've had an opportunity to test it out.

      Varget vs. TAC?

      I haven't done a lot of looking at 7.62x54R, but here's my list of crossover .223/.308 powders. Taking a cursory glance at Hodgdon's site shows most of the Hodgdon powders I list here as working in all 3. As always, double check the manufacturer's load data before loading. Accurate 2015...

      Case Lube Preferences

      Where does everyone find liquid lanolin? I've looked at CVS, Walmart, and Meijer, but no luck. I figured if anyone would have it locally, one of those stores would.

      Good and bad deals reloading

      One table had Wolf small pistol primers for $22/1000. Best reloading deal I saw. Too bad I didn't need any. Did pick up a pound of Titegroup for $25. Not much else to see.

      So is this all I will need?

      A digital caliper should also be on your list

      lee double disk question

      The charge bar only goes up to about 1.45cc, which isn't enough for a rifle load. You can't combine a disk and a charge bar, and you'd have to modify one charge bar if you wanted to stack two. I've tried that and it was extremely unreliable. I still recommend sticking with the double disk kit...

      lee double disk question

      I generally run at least 10 charges through before starting to load. As far as accuracy, unless my scale is off, they're almost always right on the money. If charges are off by a couple tenths, then I'd be concerned. Usually good practice to weigh a sampling of charges for accuracy anyway, but I...
