It says in the Lee instructions not to use their sizer to size unlubed boolits. I was thinking they ment you might break the sizer die not the press. I have a Lee six cavity mold, the centering pins...

A #5 Lee shell holder will hold a 410 case in your press. Thats all I know.
Good Luck, Sam

Does the 4 hole turret press index as good as the 3 hole? I've used a 3 hole for 20 years, for the price I don't think it can be beaten. What do you do with the 4th hole.

What size round ball does a Walker 44 use? I have some .451 that don't want to stay seated on the powder. Also how much powder should I use?

I live near a Ford dealer that in the past has given me used WWs. The service manager said last week that they were going to steel WWs soon.

I had some weights that floated to the top and picked them up with a magnet, don't know if they were zinc or steel. Does anyone know if a magnet will stick to zinc? If so that would be a good way to...
I have a littleton shot maker, wheel weights work fine in it and I drop into sierra anti-freeze. Shot at the Bass Pro Shop was over $60.00 at the first of the year.

I just melted some down last week and they were softer than wheel weights. I'm going to use it to make round balls for black powder.

A year ago at the Bass Pro Shop #8 shot was $17.00 for a 25lb. bag. One month ago it was $63.00. At that rate a $375.00 Littleton shot maker will pay for it self in a short time.

I cut up a 80 lb piece of sailboat keel with a propane torch on a concrete floor.
I shoot one handed and like a little recoil so I went with the 158gr. sized to .357. That weight boolit also works good in my rifle. Keep a pistol cylinder on your loading table to make sure all your...

I just tried to put a Saeco mold on RCBS handles and it would not fit. The hole in the handle was to small.

I have used aluminum muffen pans but you have to be careful not to punch a hole in them. Cast iron is much better

At our local Buffalo shoots some of the shooters are shooting 20gr. of 2400 and a 405 gr. boolit. Its a light load but it will stay on a 12"X12" piece of steel at 100 yards all day. Its fun to shoot...
