"Ben's red is great in the rifle" I'm looking at lobbing lead less than 1000 fps, more like 900's the too slippery part might not be a good thing for my 45 auto either. Good point 44man!

Slugged the barrel of my Sig .45 auto using a round ball starting diameter of .452 I pushed it through with a wooden dowel, the results were;
grooves are .451 and the lands are .442 so my question...

Ta Da! 400 degrees for 30 minutes in my oven and she be looking all spanking new and ready for another 50 years of lubing/sizing. I bought brand new H and I, top punch, pressure piston, spring, all...

Kroil and Simple Green, every mechanism on my bench loves them. Me too!

The man that owned this lube/sizer was a member of our club for a long time, and a top notch Bullseye shooter. He had three lube/sizer's just like this one, a Star and a Saeco (which both sold for...

I just boiled the snot out of my Ideal #45. Most of the orange paint came right off with the lube. I'll wire wheel the remainder, do one more degrease. Then I'll shoot it with hi temp chevy orange...

I found RandyRat's Tac1 on eBay, some White Label stuff, and 25 sticks of Zambini from Rooster labs. So many choices and recipes.

worth the 2¢ + JonB Thanks! I was using bullseye behind a 200g lswc sized to .452 that I resized to .451 but I noticed there was some blow back because one side of the cases were sooty. I've also...

I've looked at a lot of great boolit lube recipes (stickie) and I see each recipe has its devout followers. I've been reading these posts now for a couple of days and only get a hint now and then...

Anyone shoot Ben's Red indoors, does it smoke?

has anyone tried Ivory soap (liquid form) instead of shavings?
Any experience with this lube indoors, does it smoke?

I was going to pull the lube barrel off mine but I guess I'll just wrap some tape around it. Knowing me I'll scratch it all to heck, and right now only the bluing is worn.

How is the Rustoleum Glossy Real Orange holding up?

I now have this press completely apart except the lube tube. The photo essay was excellent and tomorrow ill start to degrease it or unwax it. Its lasted how many years? and people are still using...

I just learned more about this thing from you guys than I would have scouring the net. Thank you for the info, and the link.

Yes spoked cap, and a allen screw that holds the die in place. but i don't see any brass ring, so it must be long gone. You speak of "a newer style pressure nut with o-rings," is that a kit from...

I just got a Ideal# 45 too. Will the die from the 4500-450 fit it? Mine has a different cap, its not solid, nor does it look as nice as yours. Good score though FW

Got it! Use alcohol and a old tooth brush to clean the mold, lube the sprue plate pivot and pins when it gets hot, and use drop out spray if my boolits don't pop right out. Thank You!

I just bought a LYMAN Mold 452488C for $10 one handle is severely cracked (aged?) and the mold itself looks to be preserved in a yellowish wax? Can someone point me in the right direction as far as...

Thanks for sharing your photos n10sivern, that hot plate/Griddle is a great idea! I'm new at it, been watching a lot of YouTube casting videos and haunting this forum gleaning info waiting for it to...

I crushed a lot of primers when I first set up my Load Master, thank god none of them went off. I did buy and install that special shield just to be on the safe side. I agree with keeping the primer...
