Mechanix gloves, or a pair of nice welders gloves.
Another option is wrapping your thumb and index with the self adhering bandage wrap.

Good advice. Thanks guys.

Ive just used those cloth gloves with the rubberized coating on the fingers and palms. Worked fine for me.

Stars on side where grabbing flag to advance will let them fly in attack, not retreat. Correct imnsho.

I would be surprised if EC didn't try one at some point.
Save it as a collectable, you know how much mis-stamped coins are worth!
Make sure you have a whole 50 pound bad of corncob to load it with. Not sure anyone could afford the walnut that would fit in it with a full load of brass.

Harbor freight has walnut. 25lb $25. I grab a box from there when I get low. There's a store in Fitchburg.

Clint sales is like $20 something bucks for 50# and it's the grit o cob which is known for consistency and low dust. Cost me just as much to ship but $1 a pound for top notch media is awesome.
Anyone close by could probably pick it up and save the shipping.

Ahh yes Clint sales right in Beverly - how could I forget. Also a member here on NES. I'll need some in the next few months or so.
I'm really liking the .223 tri way trimmer. I trimmed through ~200 cases today pretty quickly. All +\- 0.003".
Stars lead the charge so they say. Fixxah is right.
Flag on left shoulder, stars on left (forward). Flag on right shoulder, stars on right (also forward).
I wear a flag on my hat that has the stars on the right. Think twice before correcting me folks, this flag has probably been flown in Afghanistan, has yours?
as long as its embroidered on and not a patch......i kid......

Posted in another thread, figured I'd share here too.
I work in a factory that consumes very heavy small parts (small ball bearing balls, rivets in stainless and copper, etc) so these containers come for free. The square is about 6" across the corners, for scale.
Small ones are great for bulk 22lr, or 32 S&W Long reloads, tall ones are great for returning with brass from a range day.
Big squares are great for storage of brass in process or that has already been cleaned, not to mention cleaning media and whatever else fits in them.
All are airtight.

Got extras? In!
I'll ask if these ever get thrown away... we tend to up-cycle them here.
If so I'll start collecting, but I'm afraid we don't consume enough of these containers to make a karma.
FWIW, I just ordered some of those conical 125 gr JHPs. I emailed CS about the newer conical style bullets and she wrote back to me earlier:
The conical JHP is a competition JHP - so it doesn't have the expansion that the traditional JHP does - but it is very accurate! Both are accurate, but the conical seem to be a little more so. It kinda just depends on what you like to shoot I guess.
Same price as the traditional JHPs, sounds good to me!
Great. I haven't made any yet. Hopefully this weekend I'll get to clean up my disaster in my area and make some rounds.
Haven't done much reloading lately, so to get myself back into gear I picked up a bullet puller die to pull a short run of mistakes. Then when I got home I realized that I forgot to get a collet for the damn thing.
Yikes. What happened? What's the load?
4.1g BE-86. It was just a really light load that worked well in my M&P. In my VP9 the accuracy was like birdshot. I loaded up some hotter ones for tomorrows range trip, I'm sure that wil correct the issues.
Hmm. I've never used BE-86 before. No experience with a VP9 either. Hopefully you'll figure it out or maybe others on here might have some tips.
It was just a product of boredom. I have a good 115g load. Just dabbling with some diferent loads.

After buying a house and moving in my reloading room won't be ready for a month or maybe more. I snagged one of my old reloading benches from the cellar and reinforced the underside to mount more pressed. I originally built this bench when I only had one press mounted. Now it's going to be set up for 3 presses and a lube sizer.
I mounted the Hornady measure on top of the rockchucker to see how I like that.
At least I'll be able to do some simple reloading while I'm working on the new reloading room.
The new room is going to be 12x20. I'm so excited. Just need to paint and put down laminate flooring. It needs new windows too but that will come in the spring.
I'll finally have a real reloading room.
