OK. I figured it out. for the next poor sap who has to do this.

I ended up flipping the small pistol brass tube. It shortened it by about 3mm and now it can fully extend and retract. Weird...

@rcmaveric

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I'm doing everything the manual says. It goes to the dump position, but when I pull down it stops at 90' and won't take any powder. :( any thoughts?

you sir are AWESOME!!!

Hi all,

I have an older LM and charging dies with collets. supposed to work with .380 all the way to 300 win mag....

Anyone know where I can get the scad files? I need to make changes for my motor and accept a bolt for the shell plate

I have about 100 I need to do.

Tacleberry, I do have a dremel. How do you "clamp" the brass?

Artful, I like the wooden clamp. HOw did you build that? What should I look for in a jig?

Hi all,

I'm wondering what every body is using to cut case formed brass. I'm using some old 270 to 6.5x55 and have about almost 1/2 that needs to be cut/trimmed.

Any ideas would be gratefully...

Thanks guys, I was worried I might end up with something else.

David, I have a swiss ljungman rifle, AG42. Great rifle, very intricate, way advanced for it's time. The only "big" problem is it...

so does that mean it's a Swedish mauser or something else?

Hi all,

I have someone trying to sell me a die and I know there are a few 6.5x55 dies just want to make sure this is the right one.

The FL dies has Lee-6.5X55-E8 stamped on it and the seater is...

Hi all,

Swaging sounds like something I could get really into. I see lots of info on building your own swager and making dies. Unfortunately, I'm not a machinist.

I do have an old rock chucker....

Yeah, I'm willing to ship. I'll pay to ship to you. I'm assuming we're talking about something worth the effort, not a pound or something like that. correct?

That definitely helps.

What type of oil do you recommend?

Hi all,

I picked up a HF cleaner. On sale + 20% off came out to $62. Cleaned some brass very nicely.

I've seen people clean out a whole pistol or revolver on YT with simple water or water +...

Sounds good. Hit me with a PM and lets get to it.

Sad thing is the Hazmat doesn't actually buy anything apart from lining the pocket of shipping companies (IMHO)

Hey Ted,

Yes, DFW is for Dallas/FT worth.

So when you say range lead is that reclaimed shot, copper jacketed bullets, or muzzle-loading/cast lead?

Randy, I sent you an email...

Thought Rex was no longer available...

Thanks guys.

Mt Chambers, we do a lot of trap and skeet. what do you recommend?

Dagunnut, care to share what those sources are? I hate to be bugging the group with "how bout now?" questions.

Hi all,

I have a shotmaker, and 2 kids in 4H shooting. As you can imagine, keeping up with them is a little difficult.

Would anybody want to trade lead for shot?

I'll take your lead and...

is there a link that talks about swagging 22lr into bullets? Just curious...

Hi all,

I've purchased surplus powder for rifle before, but never for shot shell.

Does anybody have a source or am I just spinning my wheels?

Thanks..

oh, and shot contains antimony which hardens the lead. You may need something softer for casting.

Lead sells for about a dollar a pound wile shot goes for close to $2.

Thanks Guys!

I really appropriate it. keep em coming
