About 30 years ago Skeeter Skelton wrote an article in Shooting Times about having set up a reloading bench in the Sheriffs Office so he and deputies could reload for recreational shooting. They left...

That's a great and informative link to the M-die tables and narrative. I'm moving toward casting leads for my 30-06's and BR .303's. Very helpful, thanks.

To finish up this thread (?), I received an e-mail response from Lyman regarding why stand manufacturers produce unthreaded powder measure stands. Lyman states that their unthreaded stands are made...

The only suggestion I can offer, after reading all the good information above is, after surface preparation of the barrel and receiver (bead blast or Naval Jelly stripping) the metal parts be handled...

woody1 - The link you sent is the one I discovered this past Friday night and I am awaiting a reply from Lyman Customer Service to confirm the fact of the stand having "threads" as per the...

Well Gents, I had more success today with internet searching and confined it to only Lyman. Several outfit stores and Lyman list 90 degree stands, as depicted in Kevins photo's, and most had...

A medium to heavy crimp of .45 Colt lead boolits will ensure and even enhance ignition and uniformity of boolit "pull" from the case. This "uniformity" has helped stabilize and slightly increase my...

Beware of any presses showing up in Harbor Freight Tool stores!

Chargar's advice concerning actual accuracy potential for mil-surp and over-counter firearms and retaining simplicity as well as economics is prudent, indeed. Any 2-Die rifle set or a Lee 3-Die set...

manleyjt - Firstly, thanks for the advice concerning the length problem with the Lyman Adapter vs. the Redding stand thickness. I certainly don't need another "issue" to brighten my day! However,...

The 7/8" X 14 adapter is threaded for mounting the Powder Measure into a press for dispensing powder into cases thru "flow thru" dies. It isn't for securing the measure into the stand. As I...

When a detail part broke in my RCBS Auto Prime, I called RCBS to order the part. They sent me an entire new and improved Auto Prime set....free! If you receive this type of service, at least write a...

I bought a Redding powder measure Stand, which is like the Lee & RCBS Stands in that it has an unthreaded tapered hole thru which the Powder Measure Drop Tube extends and then the knurled nut is...

Great article to get me going with a Springfield 1903 and a plain base, off the shelf moly coat bullet of 150 grains. Thanks a ton!

So, dual and heavy wheel assembly weights are still being used. Good! Thanks

I suggested to some folks on another site that they check bus (school/commercial) and heavy truck garages to obtain the big wheel weights (1 to 3 1/2 pounders) that were used on the big dual wheel...

I have been casting since 1972 but only became aware of the Zinc Problem since joining this astute posse late last year. Many thanks for the photo's and past discourses concerning the Zinc gremlin!

I so enjoyed watching his Firing Line television program, or any he guested on, as you could tell by his facial expressions - fodder for the character impressionists - that his mind was racing,...

carolinashooter just passed you good advice in regards to full length sizing new brass. Unless you fit check each brass to your chamber, you may be sadly surprised when you are out shooting and one...

I don't know what you mean specifically by tighten up, but send an e-mail description of what you think you need or know you want to Cylinder & Slide. They reponded to my request for a "dead...

I bought new Wagner fry pans and gridle about 7 years ago, or a bit less, and I have a really old gridle that has the words Dry Fry on the bottom (?). The Dry Fry is probably one of those items you...

Look for those rifles made in 1947 and 1948. They are considered the BEST by authoritive collectors. S/N's 47-XXXX or 48-XXXX.

Go online to Numrich Arms gun part illustrated breakdown to check on part numbers. Better yet, go online to Ruger with your question, IF you don't have the owners booklet which tells you all the part...

Back screws out enough to take two-turns of waxed dental floss under the screw heads. Retighten screws and Exacto-knife the protruding floss ends. The floss will act as a compression washer and help...

Unique, all lead bullets with medium to heavy crimp for uniformity. Unique fills the case appropriately enough that a visual inspection prior to bullet seating is easily accomplished.

I have and...
