Gentlemen,
I just bought a used H&G and so far love it. It cast easy and they drop out easily. After sizing and lubing some I noticed that the mold halves are .001-.002 offset. One side sizes the...

I have two that I have used since the 70's I think. They were a lot cheaper back then. Our club had them for cheap. Great press!

I'm glad to hear that they responded to you. I have some #11's and some have very little or no primer compound in them. I have not contacted them, just switched to RWS and use the CCI's for clearing...

Sometimes it just isn't explainable. I had a Colt Detective Special 2" barrel that would hit 6" high and 4" right at 10yds. All my other pistols were dead on. My shooting buddy, who is an excellent...

I'm building a kit that was missing lots of parts including the pins. What diameter would they be in general?
I appreciate the help,

Thanks for sharing,

I don't know who your talking about but I have built one.

I find after seating the ball on a 45 and trimming the patch at the muzzle, the patch around the ball covers most of the ball. The ball is just seated deep enough so I don't cut the ball with the...
