Unagi, pronounced "ooh nah gee" (hard G) is Japanese for freshwater eel, ate many while stationed there '79 - '83, oustanding eats.

Great story and kudos to Uncle Wolfdog!!!

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

I contacted Merit several times and they never replied. A fellow shooter uses EyePal so I checked it out, stick on, in stock, veteran owner, done - https://eyepalusa.com/

They're like a work of art, short turn around time, and single step process to produce very nice gas checks.

I have 2 arriving early next week, 35 & 6.5cals.

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

Worthy to convert the AA minis, did both of mine, huge improvement in lumen output with reduced battery drain. Left the C & D versions as is.

NOE gas check seating die, doesn't crimp or size works great, if not a flat nose you will need the correct nose die. Have one and like it.

A genuine RCBS 35-200-FN goes for crazy money these days if you can find a nice one. I chose MP's clone in 4 cavity brass plain base for just a smidgeon more and it rains boolits.

I have an Echo press that was converted by a previous owner to accept standard shellholders. Can send you some pics if interested.

I've used the Sinclair tool for decades on all rifle brass every time, chucked in a cordless drill it's simple and quick.

Sure would.

Same here for my brother.

Happy to help!

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...

Pretty good read - https://www.leverguns.com/articles/fryxell/35_remington.htm

Yep, add the push thru sizing die and life is simple. ;)

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.

There are 6 lots of 50ea new Starline in Swappin & Sellin forum right now.

I agree on all counts.

FWIW, their BBB rating is an "F" - https://www.bbb.org/us/mt/missoula/profile/gunsmiths/western-bullet-co-1296-64172243

Where I get mine as well.
