    Know any hobby machinists?

    I'm not familiar with the Herter's Super U press; but if it is anything like a Pacific super C, the ram shouldn't be too hard to turn to diameter and mill a few slots.

    I used to shoot quite a few Lee 312-185 (IIRC mine drops at ~187 from ACWW) in front of 16 grains of 2400. Mine chronographed at just under 1600 fps from my 26" Parker-Hale barrel in .308. I never...

    Hollow point pins aren't all that difficult to make, as long as you have a rod the correct size for the hole in the mold. I made one years ago for a 358429HP and if memory serves, I used a piece of...

    I bought mine used at an estate sale, so I have never seen the bottom of the valve rod.

    Since cerrosafe isn't all that hot even when molten, I think a funnel made from aluminum foil will be fine. I would almost bet you use a funnel made from heavy paper.

    Randy,
    Thirty years ago or so I had a Mossberg Model 600 (same as a Model 500 with Mossberg's version of a Poly choke) that had the choke messed up. Probably why I got it for cheap.

    Good first post.

    .45 Basic brass will be too small in diameter. As you noted BACO appears to use .50-110, although I think they may have a way to stretch the length of brass.
