Does anyone use this while RELOADING ammo? Would this be good for keeping power from sticking to funnels, tricklers, scoops, trays, etc?

This is exactly what I bought this for and it works great for your powder drop. It does stain a little so if you can take apart the clear acrylic drum from the base I would. I used it once and it lasts a long time. If you change measure dies I would probably reapply.

That sounds like a really BAD idea. First of all, if your bores are so dirty that you felt inclined to put a power tool in them they must be really bad. Second, copper lead and brass are very soft metals, but I wouldn't put any other metals at high speed through my barrels.

Here is a trick that ammo reloaders use for scales with static cling. You guessed it, a dryer sheet. Rub the pan with a dryer sheet.

yes, although the puller wlll work for any reloading equipment. The completed bullet or factory ammo goes in one end, the collar is screwed down tight and then using it like a hammer against a hard surface give the other end a hard slam. the bullet is "pulled" from the case and dumped into the puller. Unscrew the collar and empty contents. Please note, this is a slow process used for the occasional mistake in hand loading, not bulk work. work fine however for it's intended use.

You can leave it in the gun indefinitely. The longer it sits, as in weeks, the less power it has. Wont hurt the gun or mechanism in any way.

I should not have any. Just make sure you read and understand the sighting in instructions otherwise you may end up frustrated and waste ammo. NOTE: the bullet drop lines moves with the power setting. This allows "custom" set-up to your rifle/ammo.

It adamantly says to NOT USE WITH BLACK POWDER - I suspect there is some reason why - probably the fear of a static electricity. I've loaded about 1,000 rounds of 30/06 with this and while it does seem a bit slower than dropping charges by hand results on the range don't lie - the loads dropped with this are EXACT - and shot groups bear this out.

It's really not setup for constant removal and re-installs. The self tapping screws will eventually strip and the fitting/guide tabs will wear or break with constant use. This will result in a loose fitting device around the trigger which is just asking for trouble.

Toss it and get another. There are more expensive models with reloads but we've never tried it. For the cost of that you can get three of these. It works well!

depends on the ammunition manufacturer...some brass/aluminum vary slightly so that makes for a very tight fit in the speed loader...loader will loosen up with usage..also there are other brands of speedloaders

Scott, I use mine all the time and it works well. What ya have to do is put the mag all the way in and pump it back and forth about 1/16 of a inch and every time you pump it in and out a round will drop. Once in awhile a mag will fill if you just hold it all the way in, but most of the time just pump it back and forth 1/16 inch at a time and it will feed fine, I don't use lube on any rounds per directions. What I told you will work fine, it is a nice product, any more questions, let me know, I love mine. Bob Kleman

Yes. That is what I use it for. Really helps when stuffing those 15 round mags.

I have used my set of dies in a Lyman Spartan press to load several hundred rounds with no problems so far. I don't know if this is the recommended use but it works for me. My rifle hasn't blown up yet but I stay within recommended loadings correlated from a number of reloading manuals. Accuracy for me is as good as I get with factory loads but then I'm a half blind, one eared, old fat man and don't shoot that well anyway. Hope this helps. Ken

Greetings karen,I sort of learned to feel every single time i pull the press handle.I added a factory crimp die. It helps for makes the rounds more uniform. I do believe too much gadgets are having negative impressions on me. Honestly,you don't need them :0) The powder check on Lees products are made prisizely & i thrust them.Have fun reloading.kind Regards,DT

I have been using it for 9 and 38 mm hand gun ammunition with not problems. I put it on my digital scale then zero the scale.

I installed one on a pellet gun so it would hold a flash light for shoot rats on my fence next to the bayou. It works great. I have a scope on the pellet gun and the light i have attached lights up the little pest for a clear shot. Would not recommend for a high power rifle though. As you want your barrel touching nothing.

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.
