I have to switch to lead free bullets for my .222 and .22 BR. I have some Hornady NTX and Barnes Varmint Grenade and may try the Nosler. The BR is an 8" twist and really prefers the longer, heavier...

You're going to need to at least size the neck after it is cut off so it would hold the bullet. The ring should work at fired size with a little squeeze to hold onto the bullet. I make my own plugs...

I'd think that max 223 rem loads would be an acceptable starting point considering the bigger mag case. The Hodgdon site shows a 3gr heavier charge for the 222mag over the 223 rem with 55gr bullets...

I always used a solution of Simple Green and water to clean with. If you want them shiny-er then add a 1/2 teaspoon or so of Lemon Shine or other citric acid. If you want them really clean and...

I think Remington not producing components for other than their loaded ammo is more a business decision than a capacity question. I don't know how the math worked out but as the company got bigger...

Many/most of the "target" BR chambers are being cut with reamers that have parallel sides and don't cut the rim recess. The smith controls the depth of the chamber and thus the amount of engraving of...

Can you elaborate on how many cases you need to do at once and how often? Volume and speed pretty much dictate price point.
I started with the hand powered Lyman, then adapted it to a power drill. ...
