Curious: I didn't pay any attention to .451 TMJ/plated bullets having ancient stashes of cheap (then) Rainiers... Anybody remembers what were 230gr TMJ (and plated) RN bullet prices before the craziness hit? Say, circa 2019?

Based on that got myself some 230gr RN Berry's at 14c recently to maintain stock (well, 18c delivered and taxed - but hey, times are tough... :) ) On a lighter side :) Lately I started wondering (quite idly) when pulling press lever on my seating die time after time - when you press a bullet into a brass case what happens to air in the cartridge? Compressed? Escapes? :) Had anybody ever heard a "bullet fart"? _________________ “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Large primers are not created the same? Switched from WLP to Federal150... Looks like Federal is larger than WLP - going in with more resistance.
S&B brass has especially tight primer hole (compared to PMC brass) - putting Fed150 into it became a real hard press... Am I doing something wrong? Does S&B brass require some work before putting in a primer? _________________ “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

I've found S&B brass in general to be more difficult to prime. It still works, but it's a little tougher.

Anybody tried Redding Dual Ring Sizing Die for 45? https://www.redding-reloading.com/onlin ... rbide-dies
I'm curious about concentricity of the two rings... _________________ “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
