BTW, see my Lee CC upgrade thread a few years back for those of you swaging or just need a higher leverage press, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, injuries, etc.

I have only ever used my Hornady LNL auto progressive press. It’s a great press and I really dig the lnl feature on it and my Lee CC. occasionally I get the itch for upgrading but like you said they...

From memory, It’s mentioned somewhere in this thread. -I think- all that needed done was another hole in the toggle arm So you have a “high” and “low” gear. Please post if you find it. 🙂

Can I make hay with these old Nautilus weight machine plates? I can get a pile of them if I’m quick about it. I even have the guide bars. Dimensions are on the picture. They are awful...

:shock:
Any progress? Pics? The hydraulic rams got me thinking.

Tks!
My friends think I'm crazy. I just get blank stares and giant question marks over their heads.
You are the one responsible for all this! Couldn't remember your screen name. I saw you...
Forum: Cast Boolits
To be clear, we are talking about a .32 acp level load here. I'll happily shoot piles of the RN boolit until I find a flat nosed.
Tks for everybodies help.

Hi ben, Nice shooting! That's close to my goals. Do you know the twist rate of that pistol?
You would be surprised what increased meplat can do for clean kills. I'm hoping this will be a step...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Okay, I like those! Wished they were flat nosed but very doable and I like the price and the super coat. 1:10 stabilize these or shotgun pattern? I like lead but lets face it boolits are more...

Kind of like this guy is doing in post #3. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?258844-Reduced-case-capacity-303-Brit-cat-sneeze-loads

Forum: Cast Boolits
Me too. Where? Do they fit the twist? Will they humanely kill small game (flat nosed).
Forum: Cast Boolits
Point taken but what's the ideal twist for .32 caliber 90gr lead?
Also, let me play devils advocate. I don't have time to cast or resize 1000's of boolits myself and many com bloc rifles (.312)...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I want to build a bolt action rifle for my kids that will shoot a commercial 90gr .314 SWC or similar cast boolit subsonic from the widely available (usually) .308 case. It would be nice to shoot a...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
It's my Lyman M die doing it! Damn it. It does such a fine job with the good brass, I'm cranking out perfect ammo on the LNL with the exception of the Aguila brass. Backing the M die off any more...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
They don't chamber in the barrel, plunk test. The Aquila brass, for example, has a ring around the brass about halfway down that collapses some and bulges when seating/crimping. Post sizing in a...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Does anybody make a post sizing die (sizing loaded ammo) for 9mm? I have piles of mixed brass and some (Aguila) will bulge after seating. A standard sizing die will iron out any problems but I'm...
BTT,
You are very correct in this. I very recently loaded a similair 9mm TC boolit from a commercial caster and even though I was being careful not to overcharge it due to the deep seating it still...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I see this is back to top. I've since bought another set of links from LEE and positioned the new pivot pin holes for sizing tough military rifle brass. Links for swaging and links for sizing, they...
Forum: Swaging
Hope this helps. I don't swage or own a fifty I'm just a huge fanboy. I'm @ the end of my expertise here. If the Swinglock guys are doing .416 bullets on a Redding Ultra Mag surely the Aneat's...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Modified Aneat's UP North press. I'm convinced you could put a 3rd hole between "reloading" and "swaging" mode that would be optimised for sizing BMG brass. You may even be able to swage your own...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I've done this, got to the range and no bolt in AK.
Forum: Swaging
Always thought a well placed 3rd hole between the swaging and reloading modes (high & low gear) on this press would be perfect for sizing military .50 BMG brass. Then switch to reloading mode to...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I had a couple lockout dies. They work with bulky powders but not small amounts of the fast stuff. Sold 'em and use the eyeball method now. If you are interrupted while loading or have to get away...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
All done. Keep in mind there is no shell plate screwed in the top of the ram in the measurement pic and the ram is all the way up in it's highest position. The bolt is grade eight 9/16" X 4.5"...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Project on hold until next week. Holes are drilled @ 1/2" but I decided to go w/ 9/16" pivot pin as that is the size of the original pivot pin holes and I'll need to borrow a 9/16 bit this weekend...
