I forgot about my Lyman #1 and #3 manuals. I ended up using the starting charge for a 5/8oz load for a 3" Federal shell. It actually shot pretty good. Thanks again.

A friend gave me a jug of mixed shot. I use it for varmints and snakes around my folk's house. It works good for that.

I use a triangular file chucked up in a hand drill. It seems to work well, and I already had it.

I remember using WD40 as starting fluid.
I use a ladle and a 32 cal ball or a Lee Soupcan to pour the nose, when I do it. I want to see it done with a HP pistol mould.

Did Pacific or Bair ever make a commercial loading press? They remind me of heavy duty Pacific 300's.

I bought it many years ago. I wish I had bought several hundred pounds of it.
I still have a few pounds of Russian Unique. I was thinking of using it for 12 Ga. I'm not going to try it unless I can find someone that has done it.
