  1. Lyman Tru-Line Jr: "J" to "X" adapter for LEE Classic bullet sizing.

    The Tru-Line Jr project keeps hitting small bumps in the road. I have a Gunshow coming up and I'd like to display my Tru-Line Jr. I have some reloading components to sell, and the press will be used...

    My story is not quite the same, and is from Canada. But about 3 or 4 years after your dad gave you your T-L Jr. i sold my LEE loader in 32 Win Spl and bought a RCBS Rockchucker and other real...

    I have found on occasion that a new die needs to be seasoned. I'm guessing that the finish may have some micro surface issue and brass sticks to it. On one particularly bad one I even polished the...

    I watched the Zero video and it covered an important feature, that being the ability to tighten the turret down once it is indexed. I was working with my Tru-Line Jr presses and it occurred to me...

    The sizing die being carbide is a game changer. That was one idea that is pretty main stream now.

    I've come across a few FL 310 dies. Most are 38/357. and one 45 Auto and a 45 Colt. Invariably...
  6. FL sizing with a Tru-Line Jr: Do-able with a few mods, IMHO.

    One of those Sunday projects. I have a few of these, the Tru-Line Jr presses, on the go and the goal is to make them more modern, 7/8 dies and such.

    I have one T-L Jr set up with an aftermarket...

    Thanks, that mystery solved.

    I have 4, all have the C clamp. Most likely the more common configuration. If I've learned anything, it's Lyman was not afraid to make subtle changes in production....
  8. Lyman 55 measure: knurled drop tube, ???

    312199

    I bough this 55 used and this is the only drop tube it came with. What puzzled me was it was not like any of the other drop tubes that came with my other 55s. All the other ones are...

    All the points seem to have been touched on, and I feel compelled to touch on those I strongly agree with. But first I've been looking at the new Zero reloading press. Even if you can't afford the...

    311441

    I believe I have the 44 mag reloading project near completion. The other day the Gun-Guides adapter arrived. It's a bit handier than the Dillon unit I'd been using up till now. Either does...

  12. Fl Resize rifle cartridge with a Tru-Line Jr press.

    311365

    I attempted to FL size a 308 Win case with the Tru-Line Jr but stopped short as the flex seemed more than I wanted to live with. The flex was mainly in the upright shaft. I thought about it...

    That's the best I can do. Mine was an flea bay purchase from the Carolina Shop. I'm guessing that Bedouin has folded his tent and moved on....

    But, my brain being what it is, I kept looking at the original plate and wondering about a conversion. Several years ago I had my BIL drill and tap one of the holes to 7/8-14. I never liked it...

    Original turret, 7/8 and flip upside down.

    I'm working on it. I have contacted one of the persons that did produce 7/8 plates. I don't have pictures or price, but the person is still in business and seems willing to make them. Price has not...

    I view gas checks as another tool in the toolbox. If you need them, or just want to use them, they are there for you to use. Much the same as powder coating, just another tool in the toolbox.

    Thanks for the reply. I had a T-L Jr turret modified for a single 7/8-14 hole, and it worked but the turret needs a bit more rework than just D&T of one of the holes. I also like the 310 expander and...
  18. Tru-Line Jr, 7/8 conversion and set up to load 45 Auto for Wild Bunch.

    I bought yet another Tru-Line Jr. press, complete with a hand full of various dies. One of purchases that comes with a bit of buyers remorse afterwards, this time because I did not have any practical...

    I've taken a few of these apart, the ones that have been set aside and neglected. I usually take off the turret so I can clean out the old lube from the detent plate, free up the detent ball and...

    There is a bit more to the linkage change than just the links. The attachment point on the shell holder slide is different as well. I've run them side by side, and there is an improvement.

    I found another source that mirrored that information. S&W brought out a handgun with the model number MILITARY. It was chambered in a longer version of the 38 Long Colt and it was referred to as the...

    The "M" still has me a bit curious. I have not been able to find any reference to it, but I did find a picture of an older tong tool in 30-30 and it is marked 30-30 M.

    My winter project to have sets for all my cowboy calibers got derailed as I got disenchanted with some of the issues. I was working with 38/357, 44 Spl/Mag, 44-40 and 45 Colt and that was a bit much....

    That was my first thought as well, but the dies are not 38 S&W, and the sizer is app 358. Moot point as I'll probably never use it. I have a bit of a bad collector habit when it comes to the 310...
