Reloaded some 45/70 to get ready for deer season next week. I still had some 350 gr boolits but reloaded the 400 gr ones I purchased from a member here. Both shoot very well out of my NEF single...

Thanks guys for that tip on the 1/4” universal top punch. I will give it a try soon.
Good luck with your new 450 lubesizer sounds like a good find.

Mk42gunner described using a one inch piece of 1/4’ rod as a top punch for multiple calibers. Would that work on the lyman 45 too? Has anyone tried it? A picture would be helpful too.
Thanks

Gary I would do the exact same thing. Good for you.

I’ve used unique with my NEF single shot and never tried any other. 100yds or less and the recoil is less than a 20 ga. Slug to me.

I’d start by pulling a few of your reloaded rounds and measure the boolit in comparison to a your boolit size prior to reloading it. My guess is you are swaging the boolit down in the reloading...

I’ve stuck 2 of 223 cases using a spray lanolin type lube. Once switching to imperial lube I never had one stick. I save that spray lube for other cases.

I probably have more 9mm brass than I can ever use. I sort after depriming and cleaning. Any that I cull are dinged badly or the primer pocket is worn out. I prefer to load specific HS and there are...

The punch that I use in the lyman lubesizer is a NOE for the .223. I can give you more specifics later but it came with the NOE 55 gr mold. Works perfectly. I’m not PC ing these boolets.

He sure had a good eye for some great firearms. Unless you absolutely need the money now I would hold off for a while on selling any of them. You might come up with an alternative plan given a little...

Started setting up a Lyman 45 lubesizer for .357 and .358 sizers. Decided I really need to purge old hard lube out of it first. Job for another day.

My 1914 is in slightly better shape than the one shown. It is great to shoot. I should use it more. Joe

Advancing the plate is a matter of setting everything up correctly. There is one plastic part involved that flipper piece which can get wornout if you are having problems. I keep several on hand to...

They can be finicky but once you get it going make a bunch. Nice and steady pace is key. Have fun.

I deprime on a single stage press to avoid all the dirt fouling up the LM. Then clean the brass. I will spray a little lube on them before loading up the shell mechanism justs keeps them moving...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
LM do take patience and tinkering to run smoothly. But when you get it smooth it will make good ammo and pretty fast. What troubles are you having? Have you tried the videos on set up and running it?...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Great thats what I thought to just match it up with another one. Thx

I have the lube die .358 and the o-ring is brittle and split. Will any o- ring work or is it an rcbs item!?

Graybeards forum has all the info, tips etc. you could ever need on these rifles. The fit of barrel to receiver is the key to fixing the opening after firing problem.

In mine I shoot trapdoor type loads. Recoil is about the same as a 20 ga. Slug. 350 gr lead or 405 gr both will kill deer to 100 yds if I do my part. Good fun!
