If you posted where you live, some on here may also step forward to help.

I recommend going to a match and asking about reloading. Someone, if not many, will step forward to mentor you. I have offered at our club to teach anyone how to cast bullets from .38/.357 to .458 for the .45-70. The match director has offered to teach anyone to reload. I would do the same.

That’s a great deal of custom work and material for the price.

Length. If the case has stretched, it can cause problems and they need to be trimmed back to the starting point. But, I have never had straight-wall pistol brass grow so long that it caused this issue.

I have a convection oven I use for PCing my bullets.

I generally remove the primers when doing rifle cases. I have not gone to that trouble for pistol brass. So far no stuck primers. And you really don't want to wet tumble with the new primers in place.

A while back I was telling a few here that I had a few CCI LRP not working in some 45-70 loads I worked up. I was very frustrated as I had 60 more that I loaded and was afraid they wouldn’t go boom. I finally got around to pulling a few of the cases that ftf. I was mystified because the primer was clearly decomposed, and the powder was clumped up and sticky. I let the cases sit open for a few days due to my work load. When I came back to them, the powder was flaky, as it was supposed to be. I pulled another and it was clumpy but it dried within a few hours. I initially thought resizing lube had contaminated the powder and primer. After seeing the powder go from clumping to loose and flaky, I think I still had water from wet tumbling in them. I shook the rest and could hear the powder shifting so I think they’re good. I have since added time in the oven at 170 degrees to all my brass processing if I need it soon. Lesson learned.

My RCBS hammer is from 1983 and still working.

Well, now, who's going to make everyone else look good? With me solidly anchoring the bottom of the bell curve, everyone else could look at their cards and say, well, at least I beat someone!

Nope. I don't know what happened. According to the tracking, my application was received on Tuesday. My friend got his notification, but his app didn't arrive until Friday. And I don't see that the check has been posted. Maybe they are saving the best for last.

Well, heck. I next day aired my app in and so far no notifications.

PM sent.

You need to call the local FedEx and get the driver's and manager's phone numbers. I called the local folks and read them the riot act after leaving a gun at our community job box five miles from my house after I had sat at home all day waiting for it. If I am not going to be home and I have a signature-required shipment, I call the driver and tell him where to leave the box and to sign for me. The manager also knows this for when my driver is on vacation.

Make sure it wasn't delivered and signed for by the driver. It happened to me. I now have the driver's phone number and will make arrangements with him when I won't be home.

I like the Cimarron 1886. It is a faithful copy of the original.

The same place mine is. In my imagination.

If someone was going to steal it, the whole thing would be gone. Porch pirates don’t take the time to open a box. They run up, grab, and dash. There are thousands of security videos showing this.

Many years ago I was in a female owned and operated Ace hardware in Colorado. I turned beet red when I asked her if she had offset nipples. (They are an electrical fitting.) She saw my discomfort and started laughing, stating she did, and then showed me, the electrical fittings that is.

With Ruger’s new Super Redhawk in .22 Hornet just being introduced, I have it on high authority that Hornady will be coming out with .22 Hornet brass and ammo to support it.

I think OLG is correct. And SPP is in every store in town. LPP are not to be found except on rare occasions. LRP? As rare as four-leaf clovers in the Sonoran Desert.

You forgot dying from a cavity when the infection went into the brain.

There have been scammers since the day Adam and Eve left Eden. You should always verify a merchant. Props to you for doing so before you send money.

I’m guessing they want PayPal F&F, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or some other cash app.
