Anyone having difficulties with the small primer pickup tube when they invert the tube and pull the pin to release primers? I have used mine for several years & usually releases all the primers without problem, however recently when I pull pin the first (bottom) primer seems to be lodged off...

Have loaded only Rainier plated for years but have about 2K Berrys I have hoarded for a decade or more. Got them out & I find the Berrys were slightly above the .355 that was consistent with Rainier. Some Berrys were .356 & a few at .3565 but seemed to average .3555. Currently shooting...

Having an urge to buy a new gun, can't decide if I want a new rifle or pistol. The more I think about it, maybe its time for a new shotgun instead. Having shot skeet year round for several years, I eventually lost the interest I once had. Now I’m getting the urge to start again. I still have...
