    Lube a bunch of brass for resizing????

    I use an old box that a motherboard came in. Lay the brass down, shoot it with a few shots of Dillon lube, shake it around and go at it.

    Dimpled shoulders?

    Re: Dimpled shoulders? If it's about the size of a piece of polishing media, it could be a piece of walnut or corncob stuck in the die. It could also be a buildup of lube, or too much lube on the casings. Have you cleaned the die recently?

    Chargemaster = Expensive thrower

    Re: Chargemaster = Expensive thrower Since we're bashing on chargemasters, what's the general consensus on the PACT powder dispenser? It's slower than the chargemaster, but is it worth buying at the ~$230 price point?

    223 brass in 5.56 chamber ?

    Re: 223 brass in 5.56 chamber ? As long as you do a full length resizing, it will not matter which chamber the brass was last fired in. Well, assuming they were both .223/5.56mm chambers. Twist rate has absolutely nothing to do with the chamber.
