Yeah every now and then you can still find them in new condition.. The press had a straight wooden handle instead of the ball handle back then.

It's hard to beat the Lee classic cast for design and function if you can make do with 4 stations.

Unique is what you're looking for. It'll fill those cases quite nicely! Trail boss is no good for 9x19 as I doubt you could get enough of it in the case to cycle most nines...and it can't be...

The rcbs dies are just basically a prettier copy of the Lyman dies. The difference being in appearance and the rcbs expander and stem are one piece while the Lyman is two piece. The Lyman set is also...

Get the Hornady cowboy seater/crimp die. It comes with a taper crimp sleeve and it works well with .454 dia. Boolits. If you swing for the complete cowboy die set it also comes with proper expanders...

45 colt combos for me. I used to dabble in smaller calibers, but there is just something special when it comes to the 45 colt. Although if I ever do get back to a decent place financially I intend to...

Was given a few pounds of goex, factory loaded 45 colts, bag of lead shot, rifle and pistol primers today. :-)
I have a couple of the pistol collet crimp dies and they work great, but one of my favorite is the carbide crimp die with the ring removed. It's easy to remove with a small socket and or a simple...

My local bass pro had everything except trail boss. I picked up some unique and 2400. Those were the two that seemed to be selling fast too. Looked as if though no one was buying red dot which I...

Everyone keeps snatching up all the powder online still in a panic and paying hazmat and shipping while the shelves are full of powder at your friendly neighborhood LGS.

Look through a few loading manuals or try searching online for photos of flat primers. You will see the difference between a flat primer and yours which are fine.

You turn the hopper on the Lee to shut off powder flow before removing it.

Hercules was still using the cardboard canisters in the early nineties. I think it wasn't til Alliant that they changed to plastic. Regardless I still have a cardboard can of unique that I bought in...

They told me I didn't need anything other than my name and address to come pick mine up. Heck I didn't even need ID! Told them my name and I had a ship to store order there and the guy punched my...

One of the things that drew me to the Lyman's was the fact it could be adjusted to throw very light charges of smokeless powder and huge doses of black powder.

Kbstenberg, are you saying it's actually possible to stop the Lee from leaking with extremely fine ball powders?

I cleaned mine once and never could find anything I needed afterwards...some things still have not turned up. Recently moved my bench again and still have not bothered to unbox my junk. No telling...

It isn't uncommon to get rust in powder with the old metal cans. The remedies in older loading manuals was to do something similar to what bent ramrod did.

Rcbs uniflow does not leak any powder regardless of how fine the granulation. I used to. Own two of them and neither one ever leaked. I'm now using Lyman 55's and haven't had any leakage with either...
The dies are $45.00 the lube depends on what it is. The 450 would be worth $75.00 to me if in excellent condition.

I have asked around (no research done) but still don't know what the press patent was. I wonder if it has to do with the pro 1000 or the load master? I figured on it being the load master since it...

I wish I had found these before I ordered the Hornady Cb dies! What drew me to the Hornady Cb dies was the floating m expander.
