This ^^^!

I have ordered from Amazon a lot over the years, good prices and never a problem. However some of the info getting out about them recently makes me hesitant to give them my money. The...

I also like them. I've been buying from them since their complete line of products fit in a monthly flyer of a dozen or two pages, mostly comprised of bulk quantities of Remington and Win. bullets. I...

That's too bad about Matilda. Some people...sheesh! I hope you didn't invite him for chicken and dumplings. :lol:

Lee 2 cavity molds are a cheap way to try out a particular bullet style, for example a truncated cone in 9mm to see if there are any chambering problems, before buying a high dollar mold. And the new...

Replaced the abused sprue plate screw with a 1/4 x 28 allen type cap screw with a wavey (spring) washer, put a small pellet of 10 Ga. copper wire under the lock screw, adjusted and seated it all in,...

I have neither, a situation I hope to correct in the not too distant future.

Yes, I agree. I like the new Lee 2 cavity molds over the older ones. The alignment pins seem to work better for one thing. I have two of them now, one in .45 and one for 9 MM, they both drop nice...

Mine does have the set screw that locks the sprue plate screw in place. The plate screw is worn and battered where the set screw engages it. I think a replacement screw (1/4 x 28 fillister) will fix...

I bought this mold, a 4 cavity, at a gunshow a couple of years ago. It had a lot of surface rust and some pitting, all on the outside. The cavities looked good and no rust on the faces of the blocks...

I haven't used a lot of Unique over the years but I guess that's fixing to change. I was going through some reloading stuff that has been in storage for several years and discovered an unopened 8lb...

Aha! That's what I've been doing wrong.

I got my copy from Hamilton's Books. I agree it is somewhat dated. But it is still more than worth the money, lots of good info and it is also of some historical interest. A good reference to have on...

That is correct. With the price of them nowadays I can certainly understand the desire to use a plainbase bullet. Unfortunately I haven't experimented with plain base at that velocity level.

Several years ago I spent quite a bit of time working with an older M70 and cast. Checking my records shows that I had my best luck with Lyman #311284, a gas checked bullet weighing around 200-210...

For full power in my SRH with either 429421 cast or an LBT 260WFN I voted, and usually use H110/W296. I still have quite a bit of Hercules 2400 on hand and that works almost as well, maybe not as...

So far just .35 Whelen. And a few powder measures for muzzleloaders.

That's good info right there, about the 8 x 50R brass. I will make sure to note that into my copy when it gets here. There are just so many new chamberings right now that it makes it hard to keep up...

It seems like a lot fewer people are turning their noses up at handloads these days. But one thing that does seem to set old Bubba off is cast bullets in rifles. Even if they reload themselves they...

Glad I checked in to this part of the forum. I have been wanting a copy of that book for awhile now. I had never heard of "Ollie's," we must not have them around here. So i jumped on cuzinbruce's...

I thought it was funny. But then I'm the kind of guy who tells people that I use a bit of Preparation H in my boolit lube...it tightens swollen groups by up to 25% ya know.

Back to avocado oil: I...

It's amazing how simply some of us started. My little Lee Loader loaded quite a bit of ammo during my high school years. Another kid and I in wood shop class made us a couple of wooden hammers for...

I have been using that exact setup for decades. I enlarged the slot in the frame a bit and extended it down a little. The bottom of the slot is filed at a downward angle with a round file to help...

A Lee Loader in .30-30. It was bought by my Dad for my younger brother and me when we were around 12 and 13 years old, around 1965 or so.

Then about 1969 I walked out of a gun store with a new...

I have and use several brands. I guess my favorites are Redding. Usually after I've been reloading a caliber for a few years I end up with one brand of sizer, another brand for seater (I like Hornady...

Hello I own one of these presses, problem is it's in storage in West Virginia and I am in Oregon. :smile: It has been stored for over 10 years, I need to go back to WV and get it sometime.
