One old roller in 43 Spanish kept calling to me at the show yesterday, so took it , 250 various packaged boolits, & 45 pieces of Bertram brass home for a paltry $675. Bore looks to be excellent, just...

Picked up a Contender a couple months back with carbine length barrels in 218 Bee & 32 H&R, both from the custom shop. So little recoil from the 32, & pretty accurate to boot. What's not to like?

Just picked up a 219 in 30-30. Shoots cast boolits quite well too. Gotta catch that brass before it gets ejected into the next county though.....

Almost sounds like the barrel isn't fitting up tight when you have those 2 problems. Maybe your gun just doesn't like those loads though, or you have a detonation issue with that combo. Tried other...

Only thing I hate is when your fire forming loads end up grouping better than anything you come up with afterward [smilie=b:

Had one of mine apart before too for loosening screws. Just felt kinda funny when I had it out shooting. Ended up putting some clear nail polish on that screw myself. Wish they would have shouldered...

The die on the left looks to be an expander for the case mouth. I have lots of "310" type dies & all the full sets have an expander for using cast bullets. On the right is most likely the cast bullet...

Here's a 6" target I shot at 100 yds with mine. Still have lots of trigger time needed to tighten it up I think, but definitely promising.

Just got one of those Winnies a few weeks ago. Quite fun to shoot & plenty accurate with my loads of 4227 too.
Just bought another in 32-40. Hoping it's as nice as the 38-55. Might have it by the...

Hope it's got enough meat to allow that. Hope it's not hardened either, lots easier that way :-)

43PU will you kindly email me, your PMs are full & I'd like to know about payment for the Dillon stuff I sent you.

Why not email Brian & ask his advice? They're his dies, right?

Too late for the ones I got. Hell, not even a clue who might have made them!
Oh well, they work great for me. Now, to get rid of the extras...................;)

Oh but I do shoot my 44 out to 100 yds regularly. Course, it's a Marlin lever gun, but still.................

Same address, though the site has changed somewhat. I think that PDF was emailed from Richard, rather than being available on the site.

Should be fine with 224 stuff. I do much larger stuff on an Inline Fab mount, but not the QC, though I'm thinking of trying it. I use one for my Co-Ax presses & a Dillon 550. Here's what I have setup...

The threaded portion is only 5/8" if I remember correctly, so the 5/8" handle should be OK too, I imagine. Suppose it's possible it may bend some, but nothing ventured..............

First off, welcome to the obsession that swaging is for some of us anyway. Best of luck finding a used WH or Corbin press for less than new. Far & few between it seems, & those that I do see posted...

Don't know how it works with larger calibers, but I've had good success getting a stuck 6mm bullet out by using a small piece of lead core on the base to force it deeper till the nose punch would...
