I have a similar die. I was told that the die was intended for the EZY Loader press. Apparently that press has a station that is only accessible from the bottom.

Sometime during the past year or so, I bought a 45 ACP decapping die to complete a set of dies. When the die arrived, I just put it away and didn’t really look at it. I pulled out the set to take...

I watched some Lyman Tru Line Jr presses sell for extreme prices. I wonder if those buyers have any idea that standard 7/8-14 dies won't work in them.

Yes on enough tongs. In the past I've just taken the Lee hand press with the dies already set in the bushings. What got me started on this trek was thinking about taking a Lyman 55 along which...

Was never planning on FL resizing. Was really just thinking about using it for pistol rounds. I have several calibers of 310 sets, so boring out the original turret is not an option. What really...

Anyone have a source for Tru Line Jr replacement turrets which use 7/8-14 dies? I’ve looked at various auction sites and have not found any nor found any with general web searches. Most of what...

45-70 is the 3.1 dipper
7.62x39 is the 1.9 dipper

Side cutters worked great. Got the pins removed and inside cast piece cleaned up.

Thanks, will give it a go.

I picked up a Belding & Mull Visible powder measure back a while and have finally got around to giving it a thorough cleaning. I have a lot of rust inside the base of the reservoir on the cast...

I made some rounds for my 38 Special using 357 Max brass. With Max brass, you can get a round that will fit the full length of the cylinder. You will have to trim it down to cylinder length. A...

If you can find some 9mm Win Mag brass, that works as well. I had problems with using cut down 223 brass in my 9mm pistols. A lot of FTE's. No issues with the 9mm Win Mag.

Does anyone have any leads on where to buy a turret that accepts the 7/8-14 dies? I know some were made/sold a few years back, but I can’t seem to find anyone who currently is making them. I don’t...

A close fitting rod down the neck will give you a little more leverage when trying to wiggle them out. I'd try the dry tumbler first though.

Here's a chart I use.

I have a Lyman Spar T that is need of a facelift. It looks like prior the prior owner(s) used a variety of colored paints over the years as several different colors are finally showing through.

What was the purpose of having both long and short Lyman J shell holders? Did some tools at the time only accept the short J type shell holders? I’ve always wondered, but don’t know why.

Here is a picture of the shotgun bushing out of my press. The shotgun bushing is on the left and on the right a bushing to use Lyman 310 dies in standard 7/8-14 holes on presses. Good luck in...

Same thing happened to me when I first got my AA, hence the suggestion to check.

Make sure the support bolt under the rear of the turret is cranked up so high/hard that it is preventing the rotation of the turret.

I’ve just loaded some 357 Max snake shot loads. Hope to get a chance to try them out next weekend in both a 357 and 38 Special. I used a 30 Carbine die to neck down the end of the brass. I did...

Does anyone happen to know the size for the socket set screws used to hold the shell holder and primer post in place for the AA press?
Thanks

Just to follow up, I did purchase a couple of the decapping rods and they worked fine. Applied a little cold bluing and they look just like the original.

Looks like the edge of a deer's ear.

Look for the spring wire hairpin clips similar to this.
