BigNutt,the 195 Lee is not tumble lube. It runs 200 with my metal. I use it in two S&Ws a Ruger and an 1894 Marlin. Shoots very well in all with 8 or 8 1/2 grains of Unique with LBT Blue sized to .410

Would be easy to set up a test. Put a target in the brush and shoot at it. You will know what you boolet will do some of the time but not all of the time.

I have shot two coyotes in my back with a 22 mag. Both were DRT at about 50 or 60 yards. 40 grain soft nose Winchester and a good hit will do the job.

I have used 700X for 12 gauge target loads and 45 acp,38,and 9mm mild lead loads. I found it to be the dirtiest power I have ever loaded in both cases. I got it in a trade and don't think I will ever...

357MAX has the right answer I think. That is the best use I found for 571. Only handgun loads I found was 45 acp.

You must flair the case month to seat cast lead boolits. The Lee dies do not do this and it is not needed for jacketed bullets.

4 lb. of 700x will make a lot of mid range loads for your .357. If you are out of powder,$78 is a good price. Lit'l Gun is for full power loads.

I use the Lee 255 gr. swc(mine are 263 gr.) with 21.5 gr. 296/h110. This load is good in two Rugers,a 5.5 inch BH and a 7.5 inch Bisley. We have shot over 400 of these and had no problems. This is...

I know some of you guys have one of the old Lee 240 gr molds for a 41. Do any of you have some good loads for a Ruger Blackhawk? I just got an old mold from ebay and I want to try it. All the loads I...

The push rod is not to short,the die stops th upward travel. If anything is to short it is the eject pin inside the die. The threaded sleave is adjusted to stop the depth of the bullet...

Hy,folks. I need a little advice. I just started using a 4500 Lyman sizer and I have a problem. The push rod hits the bottom of the sizing die before it pushes the bullet out of the die. I am using...
