Nice job Harry. That’s a big improvement over the slip on plastic knobs!

If all you're going to load is 38 Special the SDB will work fine for you. Safely loading good ammo at 300 rounds per hour can be handled nicely by the little Dillon.
The theorys expressed make good sense in practical terms. Here is where I'm coming from. The OP is shooting a Glock 34 9mm pistol. I have about a dozen 9mm Glocks, two of which are 34s. All of these...
It's not a twist rate problem, 9mm Glocks are close to 1 in 10.
Size your 120 TCs .356 and load them over 3.5 Bullseye. Lose the CFCD and taper crimp to .379 OAL 1.060. This formula shoots well in all my 9mm Glocks.
At a distance that gold lettering on the black tank shouts Norton:) I don't know how to post any pictures but Google Norton 750 Commando and you'll see what I mean. The little Yamaha is a good...
Wow I missed that by a mile. The lettering on the tank in that tiny picture looked like the Norton. My brother had a BSA 441 Victor, definitely a thumper. :)
Thanks Henry,
I appreciate all the work you went through. I guess we will hope that the shoddy WLPs are history. All the Winchester primers I recently purchased look better (brighter,shinier) and...

If I were you I'd take the rifle to a gunsmith for a check up!

My experience also with the Rockchucker. My Ultramag has sat on a custom pedestal since day one. Even then the handles long throw caused some bending when operating it. Dan at Inline Fabrication set...

My Ultramag makes life lots easier with larger cases. The older I get the more I appreciate it.
I was very disappointed when Winchester did away with the primer plating. This occurred about the time of the so called "primer shortage" early in the Clinton administration. The timing was right for...
I'm very lucky to have a good friend that builds Super Stock Hemi racing engines and runs a Super Stock 1964 Plymouth Savoy, a real classic! He hosts my daughters and I when he runs. It's a real...
I just ran 100 of my new batch of "bright and shiny" WLPs through a 550. I was loading 200 grain #68 style LSWCs using Winchester 45 Auto brass. I'm happy to say that they seated smoothly and...
I'll let you know Henry. I'm going to the NHRA Nationals though so it may be next week before I do.

New production update. I received my 30,000 count Winchester primer order today. All are bright in color, not that tarnished look that the troublesome WLPs had.
Henry,
Thanks for all the work you've put in. Winchester has reimbursed many reloaders for the bad WLR primers and made repairs on scarred bolts which were affected by them. I believe they will...

The foam filled shoe box looks great for traveling. For everyday use/storage you need a eye high shelf on the wall in front of your powder measure. Both could be done very cheaply.

Very nice. I like the big window, should be easy to use.
No sweat. There are lot numbers on some of the links in case you change your mind.
