I've been to an indoor range twice in my life. Outdoor public shooting ranges i've visited maybe 20 times, mostly WMA's.
All of my shooting is just in a field on the land I grew up on. That's what...

I second this company. Switched to front pocket carry using one of their "classic" models. Am on my second one in moose leather. The original one still looks good and is usable, just wanted a new one.

I dont think you'll be disappointed, from my experience his work is top notch.
I did the same as you thinking about reaming it myself, for the price it wasn't worth messing it up. Turnaround time...

I looked again at the Lee site, I'm in the same boat not wanting to buy new equipment but they have two of the sizes you mention marked as custom over-runs. (446 & 364)
To fit the non "special"...

Mr. Charlie Hahn does chamber reaming on 44's for sure. I bet he does the 36 calibers, as well as other little tweaks all the way to an extreme workover for these cap and ball revolvers.

I just went through this with Lee, had been wanting a custom sized push through sizer (.575) but apparently put it off too long.
I emailed their customer service because everything I saw on their...

Your math here is whats kept me from doing the "send it in" route. Ive had about the same logic, can almost just get another one and save the old one for parts or rebuild myself.
And that blue is...

It's an invasive species in a lot of areas. Some people call them Sumac.

Has anyone ever used Lee's "refurbishing" service for one of these, or any other type of press?
I have a Pro 1000 that I got secondhand that is in shape similar to what the OP describes, along...

I've been curious of this as well.
Got a few pounds last month but haven't opened any yet to compare to the regular GoEx.
Hardwood dowel, inch to inch and a half. When one gets beat up cut another piece. One dowel can be cut to 4 usable sprue plate whackers.
When you're looking around the shop a lot of stuff can be...

I like the mandrel idea, I'm using a stop jig that lines up at the base but this looks like a good way to do it too.

Not the same caliber, but I use one of these to cut 223 brass down to 300 blkout length.

I agree with just buying a set.
However, if you're needing a few odd sizes, I've used these with no complaints. As said go with minus, that will fit what its marked for. The plus will not.

A little late to the party, but I bought one of these for a similar price and have enjoyed it. Cant go wrong with an RWS though.

I sent an email at the end of April but didn't receive a response.
I think it's common that some sites don't monitor the built in "contact us" area and emails or just aren't computer people. So,...
I like the 327 FM and the fact that it's fairly versatile. Ive considered 32-20 but i've heard it's a little trickier to reload.
I have three of these 327's. Ruger Blackhawk, Single Seven and a...

I stiffen the crisco up a bit with beeswax, something like a 70/30 crisco to wax ratio and put it back in a container. Still use the popsicle stick method as usual to fill over the ball.
