Thanks for the input DickFunk. I've never heard that before. This stuff is real thick and what they got me that was already tanned in the colors I wanted. They ask and I told them I was gonna be making holsters so I think they got me the right stuff up there at Springfield Leather Co. Never can tell...

UPDATE: Got more done to the bench just need to mount the cabinet doors and shelves. Plan on staining it but that is gonna have to wait until another day. Went ahead and mounted the press and popped a few primers and resized a few cases. Mainly just had to try things out. Also tired the case trimmer...

I've been working the regular J.O.B. 40hr a week taken care of the wife and kids along with keeping my self working on hobby stuff all the time I can. I recently purchased a Lyman reloading kit so I need a Bench to mount and hold my gear so I've been working on that. Here are a few pics of where I'm...

Some of those Plain Jane boxes that I got like that have a steel core bullet on them. After my time at my buddies mini range cut one of those recovered bullets in half to find a Steel center. As for witch I like best all I've been able to get my hands on is: those brown boxes,Wolf, & American Ea...

well I'm about 3hrs form mexico MO and located down in Branson MO. The differance between the T-Mag and the Crusher is the crusher is a single die holding press where as the T-mag is still a single stage press just made to hold all the dies on one interchangeable turret top plate. Makes changing cal...

I just placed an order from Grafs for the Lyman kit and a set of dies, 9mm makarov. I may have waited too late though. Everything is on backorder, I guess we'll see how long that lasts. I didn't realize they were in Missouri, I had to pay sales tax, I wasn't ready for that. Have you tried Bass Pro ...

Norm thanks for all the input. Also any idea on how to setup the die for pressing those XTP bullets no place local seems to keep any real Makarov ammo in stock? Only wolf or American eagle. I'll have to check into some of that spray on Case lube. I used the reloading excuse to get me a real nice TES...

Bass pro has a Lyman® T-Mag Expert Deluxe Reloading Kit for $299. Seems like a good deal. Is this what I need to get started? I suppose I need a set of dies too? I don't have a caliper either. What else do i need? That is the kit that I just got delivered today same place I bought it too Better hur...

Hello Everyone! I'm just getting into reloading. I haven't received my Lyman T-mag Deluxe pro press kit yet but it should be here some time today. I've been out getting supplies over the last couple days. I also built me a reloading bench along with a Case tumbler. I bought Hodgdon and Winchester po...

Had the day off today so I went over to my buddies house. We've been working on a shooting targetholder/Backstop. We got that done! Nice and simple he lives outta town and has 2 acres. We took an oak pallet and made a stand to hold it up. Then we cut 2"x4"s and slid them down inside the pa...

Hey I'm a newbie here. I've been a member for about a week and just picked up my P64 yesterday. I gave $220 for the P64 a 2nd clip and a 50rnd box of ammo. They gave me a box of Fiocchi 9x18 police Ultra. Don't think those are right? Haven't made it to the range but did pick up some ammo and a case ...
