I been using the Dupont wax teflon chain lube on bike for yrs. It's ok except the wax builds up over time. Not something I'd personally use on a firearm because of that. I've used spray teflon on...

I think you are just overly sensitive and unfair to the poster. Facts are .311 isn't .308 and Lee balked at correcting it. The wrong size has nothing to do with "knowing how to use hand tools" or...

three44s, I drilled and tapped for a 5/16" x 4" SS bolt into the turret head on my Spar T. Did two holes so I can move the handle for a second die set. I put a small plastic ball from an old outboard...

I'd say put Lee on your do not buy list and move on. You aren't alone.
SWFA was a sponsor on another rimfire forum several yrs ago (but aren't anymore). They were expanding business and seemed to be doing well then. Forum members there had good reviews of them and their...

Thanks. The primers are flipping inside the feed tube?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Exactly that!!! I don't use old loading data until its been verified as current though the powder mfg. Yrs back (20?) Accurate changed #5 and slightly changed the powder container...but not enough to...

Thanks but I'm just interested in how well the REDDING primer accessory works on the T7. I'm fully aware of turret vs progressive...have loaded many rds on both types and none were the cheapo presses.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I've been tempted to buy a T7 but don't really need another press for my shooting. Does the T7 primer feed system work as good as the Lyman/RCBS? It looks like Lyman just changed to that style with...

The bold in your quote...where does that come from? It's factually opposite of my experience.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I agree...Single stage = batch. Turret = 1 rd at a time at 3-4x the output.

Very cool. I've been reloading on an old Lyman Spar T turret for almost 30 yrs. Basically the forerunner of the T-Mag. Have 32 & 38 dies on the turrent and one powder measure (on Lyman powder through...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
That's a great press and powder measure. I don't know what the "proper" way is to use a turret is but I went from batch reloading on a single stage rock chucker to doing all stages on a lyman turret...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I've been using a Spar T for about 25 yrs and really like it. I use the press primer system and a powder through die so a shell goes in and a finished round comes out. The only change I made to the...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
How are you going to prime? The Lee on press priming is a deal killer to me. I would buy the Rockchucker because I like their priming assembly waaaay better. No hoakey plastic either. If low costs is...

I was at a gun show in Melbourne, Florida this morning. There was only one box of 1000 large pistol primers available with an $80 price tag. There wasn't another primer to be seen at the show. Last...

Nice work guys...but be sure you are not using pressure treated wood. It will eat (electrolysis) aluminum over time.

After about 20 yrs of using an RCBS Uniflow I put one of their baffles in it. I measure down to 2.3 grains of AA#2 (ball) and see virtually no difference in consistancy...going about 10 yrs with the...

No need to think people don't appreciate versatility, cost and ease of caliber changes with the LM. Unfortunately those nice features quickly take a back seat when the hassle factor of the LM is in...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
A SD for an LM? This is like a Snap On for Harbor Freight trade. My opinion...If you feel lucky and like to take chances go for it. Otherwise there is nothing better than a quality tool on the bench.

I'm rolling on the floor laughing my axx off! But I suppose the Lee CEO is too.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Well you stated something like it is a fact the Lee does more for less...but it actually does less for me.
I just don't like the Lee Safety prime system OR the plastic that comes with it. A solid...
