    parts cleaner tank freeze

    just stick on side of tank and plug in when you arrive at the shop. It will thaw the tank and the warm solution will clean better. I'd leave it on if your shop isn't heated. I've used one for years on my tank,but sitting on concrete even in my heated shop,that fluid gets cold.If I'm going to...

    My Reloading Project....

    If you shoot a lot[I shoot 1600-2000 rounds a month] the initial cost of,press,tumbler,scale,brass,etc. the price of ammo goes way down. As for the loading for a specific load,that's a plus,you can dial in your loads for your needs.Using this calculator, I can load 1000 .45 ACP for about $130.00...
