It woiuld be great to have a version of the Ideal 429352 aka "Flying Ash Can" available.
RCBS bought the mould section from OHAUS. OHAUS only produced 2 and 3 cavity moulds and RCBS did not change the format. (Yes, the same OHAUS that produces weight scales.)
I agree with you. We men sometimes have the wrong concept of what a woman likes in a handgun. As I mentioned in a prior post that my wife likes the 44Mag. Many men, when said that she enjoyed the...
I had my wife shoot different caliburs of handguns. One day we were at the local range where there was a gentleman shooting a Virginia Dragoon in 44Mag. She asked him if he could shoot it. She...

With the newer methods of measuring pressures and the development of manufacuring cleaner powders, load data has been changed. For example, a 357 Mag load using 2400, which I used in my SW28-2 is...
Matrics631,
Yes that is a 310 tool. Idea was the original manufacturer of the 310. Note that the word Ideal is mentioned on the lower box.
Gosh, I didn't realize theat Colt Government 45ACP were that expensive. I paid $110 for mine which included a box of ammo.:p
Lyman 452423 is an excellent boolit to use in the 1911. I had a buddy(deceased 1994) who used the boolit to hunt using 7.00 grns of Unique. He once took an Alaskan Brownie with the load(his back up...
The last time I was able to purchase a one cavity Lyman mould was in the later 1970's. The mould I purchased was the Lyman 429421(the Keith bullet).
I like that mould. It is sad that RCBS no longer produces it. It has been replaced by the 44-250-KT. I have one and it is one of my treasured moulds along with a single cavity Lyman 356429 and...
SW model 28 with 6 rounds and length increased by .10 to .20ins.
Harvey boolits were popular during the 40's and 50's for target competitions. In 2005 I posted a comment on blog regarding Harvey boolits. BCall, I enjoyed reading the blog you referred to. The...
How do you enjoy the Huntington Compac Press? I bought one when it was called the Decker Press. I have also added a Huntington Compac Press since then.:castmine::castmine:
when it comes to the sport of handgun hunting, a good author to read is Gene West. He was a wildlife biologist who use a 5" SW model 27 to hunt with. He was a neighbor of Elmer's and a gift he...
Dean Grennell along with George C Nonte, Jr. were two of the greats in reloading. Nonte died in 1978. Ben, in another post, I answered you inquires about the differences between the Lee Hand Press...
Ben,
I own both the Lee Hand Press and the Decker Press. The Decker is very superior to the Lee, but if I had limited resources the Lee would be great. I would save and later buy the Decker aka...
You are talking abouy 70's prices vs current price. I bought my Decker Press in 1975 for $32.00. I bought a SW model 28 for $120 in the early 70's. Today, a similar handgun would cost...

If I remember correctly, the parent case was the 348 Winchester.:smile:
That mould is one of my favorite boolits for my 1911. It groups uner 1 1/2 ins. at 25 yds from my Colt series 70.
Mike,
Read my PM to you and my comment #24. The Decker is the best portable press made........ I also use a Lee Speed Die to load my 357 and 44 Mags in the field.
(PS ) I also own a Lee Hand...

I enjoyed reading your post. I have used Lee Boolit sizers for years. I have not found it neccessary to use a lubasizer. I have both the original Lee Boolit sizers and the current sizers. I once...
My wife would enjoy shooting the hot loads. Her favorite purse gun is 2.5" Model 629. So this plan could backfire:bigsmyl2::cbpour::redneck:
