Mixed. It's not the issue with the brass though. The powder drop/expander tube seems to just not have a narrow enough center portion of the chamfering/expanding portion, so it has to be PERFECTLY...

Well, I'm only looking to be able to reload successfully! Has anyone tried chamfering the edges of the charging/flaring tube?

I'm having a problem with my Lee 380acp powder-through-expanding die crushing case mouths. It seems that the powder drop tube diameter is pretty wide, and so the case has to be PERFECTLY lined up on...

Holy backfromthedeadthread, Batman.

I wasn't a big fan of the LWD barrel in 40sw either -- the ramp actually exposed MORE of the side of the case that the stock barrel. I got a KKM barrel for the...

Ditto, although I'm at 4.7gr at 1.070". Cut to 357 with Carnauba Red. It's my go-to for Steel Challenge, USPSA, etc.

HP38 works well too, and has nearly identical performance at the same VOLUME....

The time has come to look into a more stable casting desk with a little bit more space and a lot more...

I FINALLY came home with a chrono that fit my budget -- and the box labelling made me crack up. :mrgreen:

...does that reloading room have a sister? :holysheep

I could never get Unique to measure well in my Lee powder measure -- haven't tried it again since having moved to a Dillon.

+5 on the 120 TC, and +1 for the 125 2R mold if you get around to trying it. I like the 2R mold as the lube groove is much further back and you get a wider variety of lengths you can load for.

I...

Does anyone know if the Hornady case feeder plates work in a Dillon case feeder? IIRC from back when I had a Hornady, the plates looked identical, but I never tried it before sending the press back....

Clean brass, on time, great communication, and willing to go out of the way to get you what you want at a great price.

Thanks!

Ooooh -- I actually have some Unique too. Have any problems with it metering that small of a charge of Unique?

Not a bad idea either, but I don't have any of that either. I just happened to have put the wrong can in my range bag.

Necessity is the mother of invention, but fortuity is the much younger,...

I tried something new this past weekend at the match that worked VERY well.

Before every stage, I sprayed some One Shot case lube into the comp from above. Even with my minor (131pf, power pistol)...

I tried a cast load with 95 grain moly's in 380 at 3.7gr (taken at 20% down from a book load for FMJ) of Power Pistol. It functioned, but stretched and guppie-bellied most of the cases. I didn't...

Lee 175 TC -- These drop right at 180gr with water dropped wheel weights. I've got loads for 'em from that go all the way from 810fps to 1020fps with PowerPistol.

Oddly enough, I don't use this chart anymore myself, I just remember how useful it was. I find my approximate volume desired, half it, find the closest hole smaller than the half volume, and use the...

I had contemplated adding some of the charge/volumes for different specific powders as listed in the Lee book and in the Auto Disk Powder Measure, but I have a feeling these are copyrighted...

I concur.

Well, the conditional formatting for the coloring requires '07 or '10, but I can save a copy in 97-2003 format and see how much is lost -- or, I could do an if/then to either display the close volume...

I'm not sure if anyone of you use the Lee Double Disk system for charging rifle...

That video was just the jumping point for the thought process, not the end goal. My concept combined the 'cast directly into the jacket' concept with the preciseness of swaging.
