    progessive reloaders

    The lock'n'load and dillon are probably the best choices available at that price point. I'm a blue guy, but know a bunch of folks with the LNL that are happy. Unless you are running A LOT of pistol ammo, the 550 should keep them fed. The 550 on sustained long runs will put out 400+/hour so in...

    firearm storage question

    That rod's just a heater. The idea is the air in the safe is a bit warmer than the air outside the safe, so inside is a few % less humidity. I would add a desiccant too. But they need to be re-charged every few months depending on how humid it is where you live. As the other poster said it...

    what kind of chronograph are you all using?

    I love the 35p, but on public ranges where they won't let you touch a rifle during a cold range, even to get the chrono/rifle/target aligned, its quite a PITA to get it setup right on the first go. The side-by-side testing of the magnetospeed vs the 35p seem to indicate the magnetospeed is...

    Gunsmithing Compressed Air Setup help

    The other suggestions about insulating the lines is just not going to help as the line is AFTER your water removal filter. Insulating that is just going to move the water problem down the line. A 'cheap' aftercooler that many compressor makers recommend - Run about 10' of pipe up at an angle...
