I thought the 38 S&W had different diameters than the 9mm. Glad it works for you, but I don't own a S&W Model 940 9mm, I own a S&W 38+P. I've loaded up 38 short colt and shot them in my revolver. Lot...

I've been trying to find some loading data for 38 short colt loaded to higher pressures that can be used in a modern 38 +P revolver. All I find are the low powered loads to be used in older firearms...

I've kind of been looking for a bullet mold for a "38 caliber 145gr Lead Semi Wad Cutter with Hollow Point". Don't know if it's permissible to post a link here but GT Bullets sells a bullet that is...

I've reloaded before but just learning this press and only had a couple hours to set it up and play with it. I'll try to figure out what the other "two" things are that "too many things" gave...

Had a good Samaritan fellow member here that's going to send me one. Thanks Paul. Hope I can return the favor someday.

Thanks again green frog. I think I have solved the problem for now. Since it was too short, I just added a thin washer between the primer post and the turret press hole which raised the primer post...

Any explanation as to why they are calling some of these shorter ones for use with the J type shell holder a "T" style? I understand the "special T" used for the J to X shell holder, but there's some...

Something that I don't think was mentioned is that your brass may have work hardened to the point that the crimped end will not open up efficiently when fired. If you have some new unfired brass or...

Thanks Green Frog. That's what mine looks like with the exception of mine being exactly too short. I looked on 'bay and all of them have sold except a large, which I don't need. I'll wait till one...

I purchased a Lyman All American turret press last month and have just now had time to set it up. I am using a #1 J type shell holder for 38 special and the primer post is either worn out our someone...

Thanks. I almost bought the wrong shell holder. Your AA collection looks like my hand saws and planes, and yes, I do use them.

Thanks Salpal48...
I am seeing some listed with a spring type loading gate. Is this the one I need if using the primer arm? If not, please identify which one I need.

Just picked up a nice all american turret press from a good member here and so need a little info and advise. It came with several small and large primer rods, primer tubes and primer swing arm. I am...
I've been looking for a .38 cal belt carrier to hold about 6 rounds but need it to have clips on the back side for quickly clipping on to my belt w/o having to undo my belt to put on. They're...

I am in the market for a good condition Lyman All American Turret Press. If you happen to have one laying around you don't use anymore, I would be interested in purchasing if price and shipping is...
Thanks guys. I had always thought the 380 was a 9mm short also. Spent many hours studying the Speer reloading manual over the years and missed that. I guess I'll have to get both. Since I'm new here,...
Can a set of 380 lyman 310 dies be used for loading 9mm? ...or 9mm used to load 380? If they do, I have a set of 45 long colt that I would trade someone for either of the two that might work in...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thanks for the info Buchanan. Are you suggesting the 2.5" shells over the 3" due to less problems of the shell wall collapsing during the process or are their other problems? As for a press, I like...
