The old Lee die just put a bell on the case mouth. The new Lee die puts a step on the
case mouth like the Lyman M dies. Makes it much easier to seat a cast bullet.

I bought a Tisas 1911a1 .45ACP with US property marks.
Really nice clone.
Cast is all I shoot in my guns. I was shooting the 200 gr RCBS #68 clone and they "plunk" fine.
I had the first Tisas 1911 a1 Army that came out in 2019 and it wouldn't plunk certain cast
bullets....
I have the newest 1911a1 army with the correct ejection port and us property markings.
I also have the Tank Commander in .45 and just bought the Aviator that I haven't shot

Put them in a wooden chest and found them years latter and
found the mice had got to them..... the mice loved them.

I was using a Freedom Arms .357 revolver with 357 brass. I don't remember if the FA's cylinder...
Your link didn't work for me, but I see by your post, I have to remove the small pin from the
base. Thank you for the info.
I went to Wolff springs first, but they don't tell you how to remove the old ones.

None that I know of..... I think there a PITA when you lube them.
I've heard them referred to as boat tails, which is total nonsense.
I just bought a post war P38 in like new condition dated 1959.
Ferguson, Nice to see you back again on the 856 Taurus.

rubber grips with a set...
