Just picked up this brass nose pour mold on eprey and was wondering if anybody can identify the maker: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230444645316#ht_1036wt_1165

I also use 13.5 gr.s Red Dot in my "Lebels"* under the Lee 329 sized to .327. The Lyman Loverin mold with the same dose of pwder is great in smaller throated rifles.
*Gras/Lebel conversions...

FWIW: If I had to choose one press it would be the Lee Classic cast. I presently have mounted to my bench(es):
RCBS RCII; Forrester BC2 Coaxial; Herters Super U3; Herters Super Maximum; CH 4D...

The 10-10 is as good as it gets with current balance beam scales. If the scale is clean, and centered on a steady LEVEL surface and you're still getting wide variations chances are your bearings are...

Having watched the whole hoop-de-doop over the RCBS IV since its inception a few years back like many I resloved never to purchase one due to the company's outsourcing primary manufacture. There was...

I'm sure it's been asked before but can the Lyman 45 be tapped to accept a 450 die retainig nut?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Not having owned one before I purchased a Saeco powder measure on eprey earlier this evening. Unlike most I've seen this unit doesn't have a knocker (or a boss for same) and has a slightly different...

The alox/beeswax was actually a bit of nightmare to remove and I really can't see any benefit for its use in this application as it built up around the base of the ram and didn't make its way fully...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I'm in the process of cleaning an RCBS RCII that has received some questionable maintenance over the past few years. A previous owner "lubricated" the ram with Beeswax & Alox 50/50 and applied what...
The dimensions on these vary but quite often they're tighter than the standard Carcano 6.5 bore so take a cast of both your throat and muzzle. I have several of these conversions and use the Lyman...

Anybody know if the Lyman Universal trimmer will accept the 11 mm Mauser case? I know the old RCBS Trim Por 2 will with standard collets but know of no other "standard" case trimmer that will. The...

The RCBS is worth it the Hornady is WAY, WAY overpriced (over $400.00 IIRC) and dangerous with its exposed turning sharpened tool heads.

Paper pateched rounds will "iron" fouling into the bore. JB and Kroil.

All G/K43 owners should be mandated to buy one of these kits. It preserves the gun and makes those with decent bores nice CB shooters.

Wear a mask. I'm a cancer survivor and anything you can do to knowingly prevent exposure to carcinogens is a good, good thing. The wearing of a mask or respirator is not overkill.

Looks like a Herter's bullet swaging die for .45 calibre bullets.

I am indeed! I've seen three Arisakas that had bolts partially "frozen" in their actions when their owners admittedly tried to remove the bolts by simultaneously pushing in and turning the knob while...
Forum: Military Rifles
Those not familiar with the Arisaka safety assume they have to push in the knob and rotate the handle simultaneously to remove the bolt. should the lug on the knob and the raceway be worn they will...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes I have but all these presses were all offered concurrently IIRC. Herter's farmed out their press manufacturing so they must have perceived a need that would make customers choose the "O" over the...

I just acquired a Herter's Model U-3 Super to go with my 0-3 Super and Maximum. The question I have is what, if any, benefit this press had over the 0-3...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Getting back to the press.. the Breechlock has one great advantage over any other press in its price braket: potability. The Lee BL has grat bells and whistles and is plenty strong and accurate for 9...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
It's also HUGE piece of equipment that will take up a fair bit of space on the bench. The sharp rotating toolheads face the user and are a trip to the ER waiting to happen. Stick with a standard...
Anybody else shoot the venerable Steyr "Hahn" 1911/12? If so I'd be interested in knowing what mould and powder you choose.
Cheers!
