Here is a Lyman All-American Turret Press. They were made from the mid 1950's until around 1980. This was an extremely strong and durable press. I bought mine used in the early 1970's for around...

I have a Winchester 1885 in 32-40 that was made in 1892 that I acquired last year. The bore is about a 9, or slightly better, and slugs out to .320 in the grooves and .3165 in the lands. I use an...

Thought I'd check for some yeas and nays on "LOAD DATA" and this came up. I see some sound advice, yet: 3 days ago I posted a request for load info on 40-60 Winchester on 3 forums and got 1 reply...

Earlier this year I got 1000 of their copper gas checks in 32 caliber for my 32-40 Win and have been very pleased. They fit the base of the bullet perfectly and are of uniform thickness. Have...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
The original question did not ask about reforming brass for the 32-40 but since it has been addressed here my solution is to use the short 38-55 brass (2.08") and reform it to 32-40. It will stretch...

FWIW: I've been using the Lee Pro 4-20 for about 3 years now and have found that a setting of 3.75 works just fine; not too hot, not too cold, bullets drop out of mold with 1 bump of the wooden...
