Is Royal Hawaiian closing for good or are they moving to another location?

Reloading / Re: PSA - Take care of your reloader
« on: November 22, 2016, 01:56:54 AM »
Same here, I own a Lee Load Master and when I feel it needs a "Major Overhaul" I take EVERY nuts and bolts and put them in a bucket of solvent then reassemble every part oiling every moving part and also shoot grease in the three grease fittings. I believe that with one 2 or even three hour session of reloading will pay for its self AGAIN!!!.....and again!!!!

Thanks for all your ideas and inputs. I experimented with some kind of mold release mixed with denatured alcohol, I found that this was too much humbug to use and mix. I finally got my lanolin through Amazon and mixed it with a fuel additive called HEET that I purchased at Checkers. Please note that the HEET that that I used is the one in a red container that's the one with the isopropyl alcohol and the yellow one comes with methanol alcohol. I experimented with pouring two ounces of the lanolin in a squirt container with HEET however I found that there was too much lanolin (too thick) being used. I then poured the second container ----- it was ok. I decided to push it to three containers of HEET and I think it was about right. Maybe when my squirt bottle reaches a third down, I might even add a little more of the HEET. Lanolin---better than Lee and Dillon because its cheaper.

Reloading / Re: Brass not getting clean
« on: December 19, 2015, 01:07:00 AM »It's loaded with half walnut and half corn media since I didn't buy enough the 1st time. I've done about 3-4 thousand rounds already and this is my last batch which is .338. I've ran it multiple time for about 5hrs but the neck is still dirty. I've also tried the Nu finish polish with dryer sheets. Is my media too used up and dirty already? How do you tell when it's time to change media?
Before Tossing out the old media, try it by adding paint thinner. First run the tumbler with the brass and have the grains of walnut fill the cases. Depending on the size of your tumbler (I use the vibratory type and my tumbler takes about 4-1/2 gallon of media) slowly add the paint thinner just enough to get the grains damp, I would tumble mines for four to five hours and have no problems with the brass getting shiny.
The next step is to resize and deprime then I would use Simple Green in my Hornady ultrasonic cleaner. This way, you would wash out any oil residue, clean the insides including the primer pocket. I would let it dry out in the sun (usually two days). You can speed things up by putting them in an oven for an hour at 250 degrees.
After drying, I would then tumble them again, this time using dry media for 1 hour.

Reloading / DIY resizing lube?
« on: December 19, 2015, 12:42:34 AM »
Does anyone have their own recipe on resizing lube?
I have used the Lee resizing lube for a number of years and it works ok. However, over the years, the shipping fees cost more than the product.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
