    Wet Tumbler SLUDGE

    I try to use approximately a tablespoon of car wash, about a half teaspoon of dawn platinum before I used car wash. Then about a 9mm case fill of lemishine, which is more to combat calcium/hard water, so if you've got good water you'll need less, hard water will need more. Sent from my...

    True. Nufinish is great in a dry tumbler. Just not what you want in wet Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Wet Tumbler SLUDGE

    Stainless CHIPS not pins, and I've got the best quality shiny brass that lasts by using hot water and car wash with carnauba. A good quality car wash will make a difference, but not a ton. If I was going cheap I'd go with the cheapest car wash and wax they have. Money no option, I buy a nice...

    Wet Tumbler SLUDGE

    Yeah... Nu finish isn't what you want. Get automotive car wash soap with wax in it. I get whatever is cheapest at like AutoZone Give them a couple hours with dawn and lemishine again, that should clean them off. You shouldn't have to clean out a wet tumbler. Every once in a while I'll run it...

    I'd prefer a t track over nutserts personally. I assume nutserts are a nut (or other threaded piece of steel) pressed or otherwise imbedded in the top of your bench (top meaning the top piece, not necessarily the top surface) I don't think that would be a bad way to go, I just think a t track...

    It's pretty easy to get caught up in the "how much more money could I have spent" game. Something you'll find out pretty quick is, you'll find what works for you and what doesn't, a setup that works for one person, isn't for, well, really anyone else. You'll find that you want/need certain...

    Not to mention saving the frustration of trying to get something like the chargemaster to work. Shove a straw in it, all the funny little things people do to try to get them consistent. ... I still want a Prometheus... I almost got in line before they could be owned, just leased. Man do they...

    I can't weigh in on bench vs hand,You can spend a lot of money on hand primer seaters. K&m and 21s century make great ones. If you're looking for stuff that you'll never look back and say, man, I wish I got x, they're who I'd get, and a labradar too. But, like I've said before, I've got really...

    Either way, I do think you are well on your way to some fantastic quality ammo. Hard to go wrong with what you got(yes, even with my particular biased, I can recognize you have a great list. Snap on vs Mac). That list you made just goes to show, you really DON'T save money reloading. Well, you...

    Yeah when I bought mine, it was about a grand. I think that's what the matchmaster is. I've got i think v2 of the auto trickler, so I've got the 3d printed parts. I've got a 3d printer, so I'm not really worried about them. I've made some pretty tough stuff with it. Sent from my SM-G975U using...

    As for the rest, it all looks like it will do the job to me. Now, you don't have to get the high end calipers, but I'm not saying not to, but also not saying to not return the Hornady ones. I've heard good things about the igaging brand Amazon calipers. What's more important is, if you're going...

    Instead of getting the match master, get an a&d auto trickler setup. Not really that much more money, with a much better balance. The chargemaster is a good "entry level" automated machine. But, I've got a thing against strain guages, and against rcbs. It will do a better job of getting...

    Scale Suggestion?

    My rcbs 505 was rock solid. I never had to fiddle with it. If you're picky about it getting dead on, people would mount a webcam super close to the pointer and hook it up to a tv Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Thinking of trying copper, need advice on bullet.

    I wouldn't discount a good bonded bullet either, e.g. nosler. For monolithic, it's hard to beat cutting edge bullets. Unless you have the slightest sticker shock. My first move would be a bigger gun, but I get that's not always able or preferred. The right bullet here should do the job. Check...

    Scale Suggestion?

    I'm not going to try to speak for that particular issue (not me) but I've used/had both. I've also spent a good deal in an analytical lab. The a&d balances are analytical balances. Regulated and certified (need to be certified annually I believe to remain certified) but you will see those scales...

    Scale Suggestion?

    If you want a "push a button and it goes" dispenser, the rcbs chargemaster is really the minimum for getting accurate"ish" charges from an automated dispenser. I can go into why the rcbs isn't THAT great if you want. A beam scale and hand tricker is the other way. The ohaus/rcbs scales are...

    300 RUM Shooters

    Yeah, from a 300 rum? Yeah it's not going anywhere. I prefer those shoulder shots on those bigger critters with the larger magnums. I wouldn't dare a shoulder shot with like a creedmoor or 308 on something like elk Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Reloading Newb

    First off, I'm not sure why the large Magnum rifle. Large rifle should be more than plenty to light of a 30-06 charge. But I don't load for -06. If book says Magnum though, than ignore me. I personally don't see much utility in the lock n load bushings. The time you spend screwing dies in and...

    Fast barrel?

    I wouldn't say you had to check everything left, just a few. If they're all on, I'd say they're all good Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
