I elected to have Lathesmith cut me some top punches and whip up 2 dies while he’s at it.

I took about an ounce or so of Hornady Unique Case lube and resolved it in Heet(12oz) in a spray bottle. I placed the spray bottle in some hot water and after several minutes the case lube had...

I loaded 25 9mm on the new 4holer Classic. I can tell ya that I’m gonna like it a lot to the point of possibly retiring my 3holer. That 4holer is way smoother than the 3holer and it’s built like a...

I’m trying to find the thread pitch on the Star sizer top punch. Any of you gents have an idea? Thanks in advance.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yup. Go to Walmart.com and on the search bar type in Lee Precision. You’ll get 4 pages of stuff they carry. I found it by mistake. Their price on the classic press was the lowest I’ve seen in months...

Trust me I was extra cautious cranking on the lever. My guess is that the plastic material was inferior thus failing prematurely.

At this point, I’m just gonna manually index the 3hole and test out the 4hole this weekend.....if it arrives on Friday according to USPS tracking info

Yeah I’m gonna set up all my rifle dies on the 3holer and manually index it like i have been doing for the last 20yrs or so. The 4holer will be set up for my pistol dies. I’m looking at those bullet...

So to load 1k rounds I would rhetorically need 140 ratchets at $8.50 shipped for (2) which would bring the total cost of approximately $595 in plastic ratchets lol. Yeah, the lady at Lee said their...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
lol, my technique? I suppose I need to sit down when cranking down on the lever versus standing up? Or perhaps I should listen to Raygay music instead of Oldies? Or maybe, just maybe I should chew...

The press and index rod are flawless. I’m starting to think the plastic part was either defective from the onset or possibly old, thus brittle. I received email confirmation today that the 4holer...

yeah I’ve been manually indexing it for nearly 20yrs, but i wanted to try out the auto index feature. I’m thinking the white plastic just isn’t as robust as Lee thinks it is. Oh well......

That’s for the 4holer. The 3holer ratchet is white and it has teeth.
