I realize this is a12 year old thread but I recently got a Texan turret press and it came with one shell holder but I need others. As stated, RCBS shell holders will fit into the press BUT the...

Thanks guys.

Hi all, need some help.

I haven't been on the sight in years but used to be here quite a lot. Back in 2011 there was a group buy for an N.O.E. mold in 9.3 and I bought one. I can find the thread...

Anyone shooting the Uberti 1871 Hunter Carbine? Anyone doing it with black powder ?

Anyone even familiar with the rifle? I have a chance to buy one for a pretty good price but I'm undecided. It's...

I have a lot of the Lee kits and have been getting a bit disgusted lately with the obvious attempt by certain sellers on line to inflate the prices. Ebay has multiple sellers listing these kits at...

I give up.

Am I looking in the wrong place? Only place I know is the swapping & selling but I done see anything there.

The standard Lee loader kids ARE neck size only. There are however a couple other versions that did full length sizing. These were the "unitized loader" and I think maybe the "improved loader". For...

Not sure but I THINK I saw one that was not chromed at all and the owner said it was one of the earliest made by Dick Lee while working out of his garage. There are variations in the style of the...

I use a ceramic cereal/soup bowl. My thought is I want it to be deep enough to submerge the dipper each time, wide enough to sweep the scoop through the powder and large enough that I don't have to...

Aephilli822,

I decided to get mine out and size a couple cases. It's been sitting for a few months and I wasn't sure I had any fired brass handy but it turned out I did.

As stated, 44's are...

My first thought is to verify that you did in fact receive a 44 magnum die body. If you are pounding with a brass hammer hard enough to obliterate the head stamp I'd almost bet cash money its not...

Yup! Use them all the time.

A couple points though. Someone earlier mentioned having issues loading cast boolits due to their larger than jacketed size. I ran into that also but there is a...

That's a sweet set! The "improved loader" versions are probably about the best they made besides the "zero error target loader". I really like the flair/crimp tool and of course the hand primer...

Well heck...

Just realized this post is several years older than my "old" thread I linked to above. Oh well, maybe somebody can use it.

I just bumped an old thread of mine to the top for ya but here's a direct link.

Yea, a budget implies you have some choice on where your money gets spent...

Here's my preferred method:

First off, glad to hear you are happy with your results after the spring change. I personally am not a fan of the reduced power spring kits. They do make the action easier to cycle but I've had...

Sounds like you have a couple sentimental reasons to buy a Winchester in 32 special. I'd like one myself as it's the gun I used the very first time I ever deer hunted.

That said, these days, I'm...

Stupid question but have you slugged the bore? Sounds like somebody was building a purpose specific rifle so not sure what you really have. Also, there's always the obvious question about leading...

Not to mention you need a fairly talented welder to get it done well.

1989toddm,

It's generally not a good idea to use the steel hammer simply because it will mushroom the tools over time but it isn't really the cause for the blown primer. That's simply a matter of...

Most importantly, mark it "Lead pot, NOT for food use".

I love good cast iron for cooking and have more than once seen obvious lead smelting pots at estate sales being sold as cooking pots, bean...
