I have recently been gifted with an old colt revolver in 32colt. I will be reloading for it in the future, but am not ready to fork up the $186 for a set of dies. I would suggest you search this...

I started casting back in 1977 with a lee production pot. It holds (supposedly) ten pounds. I'm still using that very one. And, they don't cost much more than that one did in '77. Bought one for my...

I have reloaded tens if not hundreds of thousands of rounds of pistol cartridges over 40+ years and never found the need to trim any of them yet. Waste of time in my humble opinion.

After a few happenings like this, I started doing my crimping in a separate die. It cured most such problems. Yes, there's the added expense of a crimp die, but the results are worth it. :)

I have removed separated casings by just finding a suitable diameter piece of brass round stock and inserting it down the muzzle. I catch the mouth of the case on the edge of it and lightly tap with...

We now have two Lee ten pounders. Both are going just fine. I bought the original one in 1977 and am still using it!
The newer one was a gift to my son so we can cast together. :) Yeah, they leak a...

Do you still have the 375 barrel? Would you be interested in a trade?

I recently made some loads for my 480 using W296. I have an NEI mold which throws two different boolets. The light one comes out at 363 gr with gas check and lube. The heavy 433gr lubed. I size to...

1978, my first center fire was a 45/70. I'm 14 years old and a dollar a shot is just unobtainium! Bought a lyman Spartan C press and some dies, a scale (which I'm still using), a lee bullet mould and...

Thanks MOA.
The roof has about 5" to 6", the walls about 4". That's just one of 5 benches in there. The room is about 16' x 30' with a vaulted ceiling. Biggest and best version of Santa's workshop...

Here's shot of part of "Santa's workshop". (that's what I've called it for years) 210043

I shot the barrel out of my super Blackhawk using 20grs. of 2400. (I think about 10000 rnds) After the rebarrel, I went to AA#9 and have not looked back. For heavier boolits, I like W296. For...

I concur that it is a factory crimp. I have also used the lee factory crimp dies and on those first attempts with them, I experienced several splits at the case mouth. These were apparently from over...

I have a few hundred new 401 cases if you would like to trade buy...

We have a WW1 broom handle and a Romanian Tokarev. I bought a set of dies for the Mauser cartridge because we think of it as the more valuable. I looked up the two cartridges in several of my...
