    Using the Lee Bulge Buster

    I bought 3000 40 S&W range brass a few months ago. Now after wet tumbling with pins, and polishing in corn cob with NuFinish they are clean and shiny. I immediately noticed kind of a lot of bulged brass, some badly, and thrown out (Blazer mostly). So, I was obligated to purchase Lee's Bulge...

    F.A.R.T. Seals needed

    I cannot find Rubber Seals as a replacement part on BTI.com nor Frankford's sites. I know they cannot be unique, and should be available through the McMasters catalog, and probably others. Anyone know how to get them or a generic seal ring part # that will work?
