Similar to what Outpost said but I made a casting of my Victory cylinder throats using Creosafe. I use NOE Mk1 38/200 mold and size to .364.

I did something very similar to what 17nut did. I got a second 450 from ebay to use with soft lube and after receiving it I found the ram had a lot of play between it and the housing. This play made...

I also have one of the original steel handles that I got 3 years ago. I like them so much that I haven't use my Lyman or Lee handles since then. The reason I got them was because my hand and grip...
I use NOE when I can but they don't do custom sizes. Buffalo Arms has a much larger inventory of lyman m-die expander plugs that will fit in the M1 and M2 bodies. If he is out of stock on the size I...

Guys, I agree with what straightshooter1 said about the use of fillers, not only with Red Dot, but with any fast burning shotgun/pistol powders. Larry Gibson has a sticky in the "CB Loads, Your...

I agree with what everyone has said above. I also neck size my 303 case with the Lee Collet die and while I have both the Lyman 31 M-Die and the Lee Universal Case Mouth Expander it is the Lee flair...

Guys, I'm going to agree with what lownbow said. I have two #4's that shoot, one is a 5 groove that measures .3025 bore & .314 throat and the other is a 2 groove that measures .304 bore & .315...

I use to size .001 over land and .002 over groove but I ran into a problem with one of my #4 Enfield's that didn't hit a 100 yard target very well, so now for a bore riding boolit I size to no more...

Using hardball it drops 306 x 316.

For neck sizing I use mica. For full length sizing I use a spray mixture of alcohol and lanolin.

Had to look this one up. "Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversions" the best solution is: ".280 Flanged (BELL) Cut case to 1.5". Build rim up to .08" thick. Anneal case and form in form die. Trim...

My Lee Challenger press wasn't up to the job of brass conversion and finally broke. After reading up from guys on the forum here I replaced it with the Redding Big Boss press and I've had no problems...

I use the Lyman universal. I got it twenty or so years ago with both the hand and power cutters for it. For what I use it for they work great but I don't reload any pistol just rifle cases. So like...

I just replace the o-ring between the plug and the body. You can get them at any hardware store.

I would suggest you slug your barrel. With my 1917 30-06 Remington after I did this the bore and groove measured .302x.312. What I use for this rifle is Accurate Mold's 314299 that drops a 199 gr...
