Howdy,

I recently bought a box of reloading parts from an estate sale. The box has some Speer .45 Cal. half jackets in it. Since it is a half jacket, what special boolet forming tools are...

I will take 2 please

I'll take it.

I'll take the swage o metic for $30.00

That's what I am aiming for

Thanks

Gentlemen,

I thank everybody for their help. I found an error in my pound casting and slugging. I have corrected the error and found the slugging diameter I made at first to be too small. All...

Hi everybody,

I have a Savage No4 Mk1 enfield. It has a 2 groove barrel. I ordered it from Classic Arms a number of years ago. When I was cleaning it up, I thought the bore looked pretty good. ...

I’ll take it

I'll take it for $70.

Yes I do because I use stainless steel pins. I resize on the press whether it is a single stage or progressive.

Hi all,
You could have knocked me over with a feather on this one. We had the drawing to distribute my dad's firearms on Christmas Eve day. I ended up with my grandfather's (on my dad's side)...

That's the new expando brass.

Keeping it clean is a must. If there is spilled powder in the primer area, clean it out. Next important is never allowing the primer level to get to just the chute only. It needs the weight of...

Thanks to all for the compliments. I took machine shop course at a local vo-tech back in the late 70's. I haven't used a lathe regularly since. Just off an on. I kept the text book and read a...

Good morning all and Happy Thanksgiving!

I just completed my first sizing die with my mini lathe. I used W1 tool steel as it was available locally. Is it necessary
to harden this die since I...

I figured that I would try to find a machinist to quote he job and then send the die body to him to complete the job. I might have to figure a way to make the punch a floating design to aid in punch...

Do you suppose a new punch could be made that would just fit in the shell holder area of the ram?

Here ya go.

Good question. They came with the press. I adjusted the die down until the sides smoothed out.

First swaged boolit using Speer half jackets, almost pure lead,a nd weighs just over 201 grains. All criticisms welcome. How else could I learn?

OK, I made my core mold, have some half jackets for .45 acp, and a press. I played around with the equipment some this afternoon. I have a question or two. They are:
1. Is the length of the...

Make sure you're using all the correct parts. You know, the large primer feeder with the large primer inserter, etc. Sometimes the safety primer needs to be shimmed up. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what it is. How does it attach to a swage press? Where can I get one? Can somebody make a sketch of it so I can get one made?

Here is my experience with Lee presses. I have five Pro 1000 presses, one four station turret press, and a Loadmaster. The Pro 1000 presses are for my pistol cartridges. The turret hasn't been...

First the empty shell is slid into shell sleeve. Set at station 1 to set the old primer knocked out and the brass sized. A primer is put into the primer seater. The deprimed shell/sleeve is moved...
