Well I just registured, I been looking for months now but want to become active.
Names Carroll and I'm retired if you can call a farmer on the down hill side of wroking retired here in Arkansas, just South East of Little Rock on the Arkansas river. I hunt, fish and shoot for a hobby. Been reloading for 20 years but just started casting in the last year. I started out with lever actions then went with the black rifle crowd now I'm back with levers mostly Marlins and a few Puma 92's.
I shoot most every thing from .22 to 45-70 with 35 Rem, 6.5x55, 357 Max, 38-55 and 45-70 tops on my list.
I was just over on Ranch Dog's forum and was inquiring about sizing some .379's down to .377 to fit in a 336 that I had rebored to .375. The .379 will not chamber so I want to size down to .377. I have ordered a custom Lee sizer but it will take 8 or more weeks from them. Ranch Dog suggested that I come here and inquire about a gentleman that goes by "Buckshot" that he used to make this type of sizer, to see if he still does. My other option would be to go by a friends machine shop and bore out a standard size die to .377.
Thanks for you help on the front end and MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL.
