W.R. .... That is one of the best and enlightening replies I have ever read in a forum thread. My guess is that you are one heck of a writer. I would enjoy reading some of your articles.

I have a lot of molds but have not been casting for awhile due to a lot of business travel. Anyway I broke out a new mold the other day which is the Lee 309-113-F that I want to use for some light...
I can't resist this ..... Again, not bad for a hack. Now I will quit the thread. I promise.
Petzal Reviews the Second Edition of Terry Wieland's "Dangerous-Game Rifles"
by David E. Petzal
...
This thread just doesn't want to die. Yes opinions are always welcome; but is rudeness necessary? Not from Dragon813t as he expressed his opinion in a respectful manner..... but calling names like...
MDI .... well said. I really don't understand the need to flame someone that you don't have a personal knowledge of. Anyway I started the thread just to let readers know that I thought there was...
Not bad for a dumb old hack.
Terry Wieland is shooting editor of Gray’s Sporting Journaland a recognized authority on fine firearms. He is also a columnist for Rifle, Handloader, and Safari Times....
Well, as I wrote to each his own. CNC is great, so was/is the talents of custom gun makers.
Weiland's writing is not typically "how to" but more of a different view of firearms and the art of firearms. He obviously enjoy's history and I do as well so while I agree he doesn't write a lot of...
Handloader has an article in its latest publication from Terry Weiland that gives a great perspective on Reloading Hand Tools. I recommend it. Weiland is a really good writer and has an...

What was the overall quality of the bullet and the reload from this tool?
I now have the Wilson Full Length in .308, 3006, 30-30, 223, 303 Brit and 220 Swift. Don't know why the 220 Swift other than I just wanted it. It came with the Wilson 220 Swift Bullet seater on a...
A couple of weeks ago I picked up a Wilson Resizing Die for my 30-30 H&R Topper. I had about 20 fired brass that I had picked up in a garage sell so decided to full-length resize them with the...
The primer for the hand press works quite well. It has a good feel to it. I enjoy the hand press, Lee Loaders, the Lyman Resizing Dies and I really like the old Wilson Full Length resizing dies. ...
I have around 60 of those lyman dies. Actually my favorite one is for 9mm. I also have about 10 of the Wilsons. They indeed to a fine job and I just got one for my 30-30 which will go in my little...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
In Photo 2 I have a 45 Colt as a size reference.
Any information would be appreciated.
They were an interesting aspect of reloading. Elmer Keith mentions them in a book. Phil Sharpe wrote about the Wilsons. I have a lot of modern reloading equipment but still have fun collecting...
I collect these and have over 60 of them. I did find one 308 die to be wrong. Another 308 die worked very well. So apparently there were some quality issues at times. I also have several of the...
A 1/2 lb of Bullseye or W231 would go a long way. A light single cavity Lee "soup can" mold (would have to get it off Ebay) weighs only about 8-10 ounces. 200 primers don't weigh much. 3 lbs of...
I vote for the Lee Loader as it would take up less space. I would try to get the improved version (vintage) that has the expander/crimper. I would also go out to EBay and try to find an Ideal/Lyman...
EDG,
I have around 10 presses and more new equipment and components that I know what do do with. The "handloading" stuff (lots of Lee Loaders, Lyman, and Wilson) are my "for grins and giggles". ...
Last night I loaded about 40 .223 cartridges (Speer 218 Bee with 6.5 grains of Trail Boss for a light load) using the Unitized Mequon (Lee) Loader. As the cases were already sized last year I didn't...
I will have to dig mine out but the Lyman/Ideal Handbook (I think #40) included a full reprint of a very early Ideal catalog which got a lot into the history. I will see what I can find as far as...
Here is a scan of the old directions for the Lee Bullet Resizing. 5593355932
I am finally finished with business travel this week. As time permits I will take some pics of the ideal sizing die as well as sizing a 30-30 with it. I will also show pics of the Mequon (Lee)...
The Mequon Unitized Loader made by one of the Lee's (There was some family split or something) back in the 70's or 80's did indeed full length resize. I have several. I haven't seen the Mequon in...
