Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Herter's Reloading Equipment Presses & Dies by Ed Sager?

I've been in contact with Lyman customer service trying to get a part for the Lyman 55 powder measure, the washer that sits on top of the screw clamp. A simple fix one would think. I had ordered the...

Not that lucky, guess I'll make a crank like TNsailorman suggested.

Found this in the bottom of a box of parts I picked up. Looks like PVC pipe with lead base, 3 1/8" tall x 1 5/8" OD x 1 3/8" ID. Not familiar with it, anyone know what it is?

Here's a small tin of Pacific scale weights that I came across. Unsure of the time frame these were made. I don't think they were part of the Pacific scale package, possibly an item you ordered...

Was this a designated pistol powder measure or could you get different rotors and use it for pistol & rifle? Also what model was this in the Pacific lineup or were they just known as a powder measure?
Forum: Vintage Reloading Gear
I got the rotor cleaned up, looks like the markings were filed off.

Just tapped out the rotor and it's blank, no markings on either end. It's made of steel as is the reservoir as a magnet
sticks to both. So I take it that this dates to the 1940s?

Since pressman just posted on this, I'll just keep the thread here. Many thanks for the info. BTW how are the shell holders marked?
Forum: Vintage Reloading Gear
[QUOTE Look carefully on the reservoir; if that is original the word Pacific will probably be stamped in vertically.[/QUOTE]
Yep, its there. Didn't know it til you mentioned it, very small...

Thanks for the info, I'll go the the vintage section and post it there.

Picked this up at an estate sale today, thought it was a piece of black pipe sticking out of a box of stuff until I pulled it out of the box. No markings that I can see, is it an early Pacific one?

Found this little press yesterday, it's marked CC Johnson. Have no clue who CC Johnson is or how old the press is. I thought my Lyman Tru-Line was a small press but this is tiny compared to it. It...

I've tried PB in my PH 1861 musketoon and PH 1853 musket with so-so results.
Now my Navy Arms Zouave was a different story. I replaced the barrel with a Numerich Arms barrel and that was a tack...

Just don't try dealing off the bottom of deck when using the playing card stock, you may not get your desired results.

It's amazing the number of old muzzleloaders that are still found loaded having been passed down thru several generations.
I used a rawhide mallet but lost it during a move, I now use a 1" diameter x 12" long piece of Derlin.

Funny you should mention the Herter presses, my friend has a Super No 3 that he got at an estate sale. I was checking it over and picked it up and handle dropped and the ram barely missed my hand but...

I too find the scoops to be quicker to load (black powder) as I usually load about 50 at a time. The homemade scoop is great as Mk42 suggested when you need a scoop that the Lee dippers don't cover.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Read your Cas City thread, that was a great read. You've done a lot of load development, have you finally settled down on a recipe for your rounds?
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks for the video, didn't know these existed. Do you know how many Remington built? That's a good idea for using a ready supply of parts. I noticed the rear sight sets pretty far back on the...
