I' set to inherit my great-grandfather's 1892 Winchester in 25-20 (1907 production). As all of you are aware, used mold prices are pretty ridiculous right now, was looking for a 257420 or 257283.......

Froggie-
Not what I'd expect from Lyman either...I've always had pretty good luck with their products old and new. If I can't get the sizing dies smoothed out satisfactorily I can do something...

Hi all,
For the past year or so I've been slowly acquiring the equipment necessary to make a portable reloading setup for the "civilized" part of the house....so I can have something to do with my...

Yeah I might have a soft spot for the Lee starter kits because my dad did not and does not own any centerfire rifles. Also this was before internet was common, and I knew no-one who reloaded, so...

I also got a Pacific with the convertible (upstroke/downstroke) setup for $15. It was missing a pin in the handle area...quickly fixed. Also has a ram that can take standard shellholders.

I bought a model 100 a few months ago on impulse, a couple things I have found:
1. I have a metal primer catcher from an RCBS rock chucker (It seems like all the boxes of random reloading stuff I...

I've had some email correspondence with Veral, he has indicated that the 4th edition will be "much larger". I know he's trying to return the payments of people (like myself) who ordered the 3rd...

You're right, its an abandoned application, didn't even notice that. The same inventor actually had a similar patent granted in the 1980s:...

Thats the part that caught my eye (aside from the fact that someone patented it). I've been wondering if some of the temp-range problems couldn't be solved with a silicone oil, the patent what...

Now thats interesting, I have heard complaints of undersized driving bands and whatnot, mine actually drops them pretty fat with WDWW, like .312-313. I wonder if the nose isn't a couple thousandths...

Hey thanks for all the great info guys,
Yeah, 70% is where I'm going to start, don't worry, I've heard quite a bit about evils of compressed trail boss, I won't be going down that road.

Interesting, thanks for the information. I guess that Idea is dead, I will make a dummy round to see if its possible to avoid having the base below the case neck, but I'm pretty sure the answer will...
Thanks for the reply Outpost, also sorry I didn't realize the title of this thread got messed up, oh well. Anyway, yeah I was wondering about deep-set bullets, I'll steer clear. Interesting you...

I went to a Halloween party where something similar happened, I think It was more fun because people could converse.

Sucks to hear that, man. I hope you find someone who can help. My dad and I both used to get them somewhat frequently. Oddly neither of us have them very frequently anymore. If you end up going...

Since AA2015 is being mentioned, I'll go ahead and mention that I've had pretty good luck with a Lee tl160-2R over 20gr AA2015 in my AK, pretty slow, but it functions the action. It might not...
Hi guys, I came into possession of an odd, brass 130gr .309 mold with no markings. Since my C96 shoots 110gr .30 carbene jacketed bullets so well, I got to thinking about this oddball mold I have. ...

Hi guys, anyone here ever loaded the lee tl230-5r in a 7.5x55 (or .308 for that matter) with Trail Boss? I searched and it looks like its been done w/ 7grs of Titegroup, and I've seen Unique on other...

That is very interesting, I guess I also figured a cylindrical CB would be optimal, but I also figure judging from your past posts that you know how to get worn rifles to shoot. Is it a...
