Consider mounting it so the fixed jaw is even with or proud of the edge of the bench. That way you can clamp long items vertically. Can come in handy.

I have had the same thing with new Privi cases for 7.62 Nagant revolver. Altering them to fit .310 Martini Cadet. An easy conversion, cut to length, chamfer and run in a full length size die.

It has worked for me, .357 to .256. Starline brass, with the RCBS forming dies. Length seemed OK, no need to use .357 Max.
I did have an issue with new Winchester brand brass (not once fired),...

I guess I am old fashioned, but my vote goes to Herco.
Forum: Gas Checks
Lyman made (or makes) a gas check seater for their lube-sizer. You put it on the rod below the die and it limited the travel. You could only seat the gas check.

Sometimes you can make buggered screws look much better. Put the screw in something that will support the head, like one of the holes in a machinist's bench block. Then tap on it gently with a light...

I have the RCBS, bought used at a gun show 20 years ago and it has been fine. Also a Lyman Magdipper, bought new off eBay, also fine. I did get rid of 2 Lee pots as they were too much hassle,...
Forum: Casting Equipment
The Lyman/RCBS and Rowell ladles are best for different styles of casting. With the Lyman/RCBS, you put the spout in the sprue hole, then rotate to vertical to fill the mold.
Rowell is for molds...

I have used Ed's Red for years. Results are fine. Acetone, Kerosene, Min Spirits and ATF. Never noticed any problem with stock finishes but I do wipe it off, if I get it on them. Current batch, I did...
Careful with the polishes. I had one change the color of a nickel S&W. Factory nickel seems almost golden. After the polish it was more like chrome. If you are determined, take off the grips and try...

Hi,
I have a Model 141 in .35 Rem. One thing I found is that it doesn't have much throat. Lyman cast bullets had to be seated below the crimp groove to chamber. There would be marks from the rifling...

My assumption is firing with smokeless factory ammunition. I never fired the piece. The damage was already done when I saw it. Unfortunately I can't think of any way to repair this kind of problem....
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
S&W guns are better made than most of the rest but the steel is not much better. I have examined closely a break open S&W 32 that stretched. A safety hammerless.
Way too much end play at the...
I have been using old Lyman .348 gas checks. With a thousand to a box, they should last a while. Original 71, regular, not the deluxe. RCBS bullet. Or old Hornady J-words. 4064 powder. Might want to...
