Figured out my answer. Dillon confirmed to use the .30 carbine powder funnel to flair the case and then use the their seat die and the crimp die.

I use a Dillon 550 with 4 holes. I want to use the size die, Dillon powder dispenser, Lee case neck expander die and who makes a 300 seat die that will roll crimp to take that flare back out of the...
I am glad that I was looking on this site tonight. I was looking at a Bator mold on Ebay, but you guys posted that MidSouth has them in stock. One is now headed my way at a good price. I hope my .223...

Some nice single shots in the Culpepper Cattle Company and lots of trapdoors in the Red Badge of Courage.

It was just a way to cool them down quickly so that I could deal with them. Thought maybe it would have some properties of water quenching.

After I am done casting a bunch of bullets, 3-4 hundred, I like to put them in a bowl and put them in the freezer for a few hours. Will this change their temper making them harder or just make them...

Leave the scope on until you conclude your load development. You might even like it afterwards.

Gotta use the "M" die. Just flaring only for cast is not enough to do it right.
Read up on the "M" die. You will see why it is as good as it is.

I personally feel that Uberti makes the best and have the most styles. Not what you asked, but I own a '66 in .44-40, very nice, very accurate, easy to load for. I also own a '73 in .38-40, again...

You guys have given me some things to chew on. Thanks.

Yes it was/is. It was part of their bread and butter then and it still is today.

I got the Lee .338 mold. I want to use it in my Marlin .338 MX. Is that nose round enough to load up a tubular magazine with out causing a chain fire? Any thoughts or ideas from the bullet users?

I just tried one more top punch, Lyman #637 and hit a home run with this one!
Works perfect.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Multigunner, I have a very nice 23B. I have used LEE and Lyman dies, both worked well. Lyman makes a wonderful mold #257420, uses a GC and is designed for the .25-20.
My pet load for blasting is...

LEE 358-158-RF Lyman #637 works better than Lyman #43.
Forum: Casting Equipment
That was my problem. I have top punches that fit the nose fine but will not fit into the die for full sizing.

Did you fill it flush to make it like a wad cutter seater?
Forum: Casting Equipment
You guys should know, which Lyman top punch works best with the Lee .357 158RF?
Forum: Gas Checks
Absolutely for certain applications. I use an inverted GC under the Lyman 480 grain pointed projectile in my favorite 45-70 load. No glue or anything. I just tap it into the case a quarter of an inch...

Hey guys, I am planning on purchasing a mold to use in a .222 Rem 14 inch T/C Contender, a .223 Rem and a .220 Swift. I cast for a lot of cartridges, but the 22 is new for me. I like the Lyman molds...
