    What would you never buy again........?

    Putting together a list of stuff to get, and I was just wondering what would you never ever buy again? (for the sake of argument let's keep this to reloading and gun related stuff.....)

    Let me start off by saying, 9mm and .40 caliber brass, most my friends don't reload so they let me have all theirs and its really EVERYWHERE.

          Lee Hand Press. Thought I would use it with a decapping die to deprime while I was watching TV, it's not even good for that.

          Lee Zip Trim. Tip of the probe wore off after about 200 cases, started trimming everything short. Complete waste of money.

          Can't think of anything else, more may come to mind later.
          I've never seen an American flag burned at a gun show.

            Which would I *not* buy? Hmm...well, if you go with Lee gear, I'd say the following:

            1.) the bullet feed (waste of time),
            2.) the micro-powder adjuster for their powder measures, and
            3.) a 2-cavity mould if you cast, because Lee's 6-cavity moulds are just that good and worth it.

            Other than that, there isn't very much I wouldn't buy. I'd also say, don't buy more than you need. It's very easy to get carried away, I assure you. :-)

            I don't know the RCBS/Dillon/Hornady gear well enough to say anything, since I don't own any..

                      Will never buy crimped brass again. Even though I had it processed elsewhere, it was still a pita to prime.

                          Amen. First time out, I made that mistake with Lyman "treated tumbling media". Didn't know better yet. Fortunately, it lasts a long while, but still....

                          Next time, it's Petco, PetSmart, Wal-Mart, any of those places. I'll be needing some walnut and corn cob media anyway pretty soon, and that's where I'm goin'.

                            If you guys get to do over again, would you guys consider ultrasonic cleaning instead?

                              Nope. I use ultrasonic on my pistol. Takes to long, and I shoot to much to use it on brass.
