Herters?? It's for sale locally and it has no die with it. Most dies are fairly easy to make if you have a lathe. I have made several for my Lyman 450 luber sizer. For this one I would need a sample...

Anyone have any experience with a Herter Lube sizer? Are the sizing dies much different than Lyman or rcbs?

I have watched the u tube video. It's pretty fast for sure. I actually have an arbor press but it's much larger than the one used in the video. I do not know the tonnage of mine but it is about 3...

Thanks for the encouragement Jeff! I cant see buying an arbor press when I have a press that would work unless the arbor type has some great advantage. I'm in no hurry when making checks and figure...

Hi,
Has anyone tried to get a freechex III to work in a reloading press? I have a RCBS Rockchucker and it should have plenty of power to operate the freechex unit. Thanks in advance for any replies!

I see what you mean. The scope base holes are generally located to the front (barrel end) of the receiver. Just ahead of the lug abutment (barrel end) is the clearance area provided for the bolt lugs...

Hollowpoint, you stated you bought a replacement bolt head the same size the rifle originally came with. The common sizes range 0 thru 3 as stamped on them near the extractor. Here's the catch,...

rockrat might be on to something. I was a maintenance machinist for 20 yrs. and used it a lot. It's tough stuff and really grips!

By the pics, it has'nt been molested other than the furniture cut up. It could with a small effort be returned to military configuration. Just a thought.

Thanks Gents, I was a little concerned about that but guess it's not really an issue.

Have any of the forumers heard or read about wheel weights being contaminated with Zinc? I read in another forum where USA made wheel weights are being contaminated with recycled scrap from Asia with...

What I have learned from some knowledgable sources is that the wandering zero mainly showed up during intense firing when the rifle was pretty warm. Main cause of the problem was the lightened...

Hi all,
I'm a newbie (first post). Just wondering if any of you have some experience with the Lyman/Ideal 311413 gas check Boolit. I recently got two single cav. moulds at good price. I have...
