    I just used a piece of bailing wire wrapped around the tc and run under one of the pot lip screws. Quickly adjustable and you can tip the whole apparatus out of the melt if you need to.

    I personally use the Lee 120TC, standard lube groove model. My Polymer80 loves it and I get a pile od boolits fast. I also love my Mihec 6-cavity, but it is a 32 SWC that my Tokarev likes.

    I've noticed that if I switch to another tab for more than a few minutes, the unread count drops unexpectedly. Doesn't change the threads being marked as containing unread posts, but a bit strange.

    Same advice I got a few years ago. I went with a stainless steel stock pot and kept the enameled one for cooking. This winter I got a cut off propane tank that needs its first run.

    As I understand, these will all be Cramer-style hollowpoint moulds. You will also recieve flatnose pins for solids, but I do understand that dedicated solid moulds are easier to fit into a budget.

    Were uou using the Makarov die as a push through or with a normal shell holder? Point of using it as a push through is that it sizes all the way down to the rim. If you don't have the bulge buster...

    I've loaded my Yugo TT with the Lyman 313249 and the Mihec 314-98 SWC with good accuracy. The SWC cut a clean hole through the broken skillet I found on the berm. I also want to try the NOE 315-89...

    I just checked my dummy in the die box, and for my dad's Security-6 I seat it until the crimp groove just disappears and crimp into the driving band. Your mileage will likely vary.

    Good to know that a 3 1/2" shell won't hurt the gun, just me. For the record, I didn't expect the Limbsaver would make a huge difference in recoil, I bought it mostly to increase the length of pull,...

    You didn't ask, but my 16 gauge Foster from Lyman mikes at .653" with a .487" hollow cavity from pure lead. That's .012" undersize, but it fits reasonably well in a 12 gauge shotcup. Until there...

    Depending on the diameter it drops, and the diameter your .45 Colt needs, a 215 grain should do just fine. I would use data for a similar profile 225-230 grain boolit to account for the hollowpoint....
