Just did this recently for my LAM 2 due to bad o-ring and missing retainer at bottom of plunger shaft - heat gun over an empty cardboard box. Rebuild went smoothly thanks to parts at no charge from...

I really like the versatility and range of options with NOE's expanders and only one expander die body, meets all my needs.

I shoot the 266469, lubed with WLL's 2500+ and Sage's gas checks in a 6.5CM and quite well.

Saeco 24 by chance? Reason I ask is the Lyman 61 is virtually the same. I had the same problem with mine and prior attempts to resolve the issue failed. I liked the pot too much to give up. Last week...

Thanks for posting this! I load for my brother and his 45-70 really liked the BTB Piledriver, now I can get them again. :)

I've wondered about that many times and have shot both ways without noticeable difference using WLL 2500+. This is with rifle rounds loaded for CBA match use.
I wipe the gas check across a rag to...

Chose not to "upgrade" to electronic when I bought my Superior Master, S&G II was just fine by me.

I remember my mom doing that 60yrs ago and I've done it many times since. Like you, never had one fail to come off.
