    Cortina nowadays uses a Promethius Gen II which is hugely expensive (US5 grand, sponsored? ). It is a combination of a thrower then auto trickling. Has nice green internal lighting that wouldn't be...

    Just be careful if FLSing so there is still bolt resistance. I used to always do it that way (could just feel resistance at the final point of closure) but now aim for 1 thou clearance ie no bolt...

    Ha ha, somewhere I've still got a Lee 12g shotgun loader. Same deal, hammer used to seat the primers. Although shotgun primers didn't seem to need much force to seat. It made good rounds but of...
