    3 drops of either worked well and provided a nice blue muzzle flash. at the time i was gluing small rifle primers onto the 22cal pellets. p.s rats smell awful when they explode

    zimmer liked post by R93 On thread : Brass FL Sizing Trouble
    Sounds like you have it sussed. Case just lengthened thru the process and not a huge issue but does defeat the purpose of a FL resize if your are being picky. Did you get a body die with the set?...

    zimmer liked post by Ryan_Songhurst On thread : Hornady Case Prep Centre Misaligned
    Lee quick trim dies are the way to go. Cheap, consistent, foolproof and do a great job. I think often people overlook certain things because they seem to think they don't cost enough to be any good.

    Surely the issue will be getting the jackets for the projectiles which are still made overseas and probably in short supply as well?
