Watched a lot of videos on it when it came out. That press is unique. I love the way the turret is locked after indexing it to another position. I hope you enjoy it.

This stuff happens all the time to long time businesses. When there is none else in position to take over like a partner or child. The owner has only the option of selling the whole business or...

The MEC is cheaper if that matters to you. I really like mine. I like the die storage platforms on it. They are more handy than I thought they would be. I also like the mount bracket. It is a very...

Ive had really good accuracy out of my Henry wit AA5744 with multiple bullets. I usually load at the upper end of the trapdoor range or the low end of the lever action data. Shot a lot of groups...

5744 is my go to powder in my Henry 45-70 lever. I have shot many groups under 1 inch at 100 meters with a scope. Great ,flexible powder for 45-70.

Like somebody already stated it really is hard to have one measure be superbly accurate with every type of powder in my experience. I just did a short test with a new RCBS Uniflow 3. I dropped 18...

Ive never owned one. But I have considered a smokeless rifle also. I can see some real advantages especially if you shoot sabotless. The sabot is the weak link for accuracy. The sabotless shooters...

Ive never had a failure to fire with any 209 primer and Blackhorn And like NSB I hunt in very cold wet western NY. I made the statement about the primers because I found a definite advantage in the...

Another thing I like about the MEC stand is the storage docs for dies are built right into it.
Forum: Muzzleloading.
I have shot a lot of Blackorn 209. I found many advantages to 777. 1.Cleanup with just hoppes. 2. No breech plug removal problems at all. 3. Dont know why some say you have to clean between shots....

I am thinking of going to the Inline Fab quick change stands too. They have mounts for just about everything you can think of, including my lubrisizer. The MEC stand is about 8.5 inches high....

It depends on how your bench was constructed. Going directly to my bench top did not work for me. I wanted to go directly to the bench. But I had interference. The stand was pretty reasonable in...

I have a MEC and use it with the MEC stand. The handle would hit the edge of my bench when the ram was at the top of its stroke. I would have to reconfigure my table top to use it bolted to the bench...

If you dont want to boil them. Putting them in a jar with odorless mineral spirits removes all the lube pretty well. But I think you would have to make sure that was all off too with something like...

I cant seem to find this info. Isn't there a gentlemen here who produces Lyman and RCBS bullet sizing dies? Is it Lathesmith? Or does he just produce Star dies?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
The Uniflow 3 is a good measure for me so far. I wasnt sure about the fact it has only one size metering drum. But it really shined when I tested it with fine powders like H110. I threw 18 charges of...

first inspect the knife edges of the beam. Are they dinged or damaged? If they are the rest of these tactics wiil not help.
If not then clean out the plastic seats where the beam rests.
The scale...

Most serious BPCR shooters anneal after every firing. I started doing it to extend the life if the brass. My brass is worked more than a single shot. I only shoot 45-70 in lever guns now. So...

Not real crazy about the Lyman 55 I have. I dont find it hard to adjust. But it seems to bind with fine ball powders. Its real good with flake powders like Unique. But I will take my RCBS Uniflow...

I used to shoot nothing but blackpowder out of my Shiloh Sharps. I used a Thumblers Tumbler with ceramic media and water with a squirt of Dawn. Now I use stainless pins and the same tumbler. You...

Thanks
Is there a type or "brand " that is superior?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Hes right about the Thumblers. Ive had one forever it seems. Probably since around 1992. A lot of use with corn cob, ceramic and stainless steel. Have only replaced the belt. Parts are available. Yes...
