Unagi, pronounced "ooh nah gee" (hard G) is Japanese for freshwater eel, ate many while stationed there '79 - '83, oustanding eats.
Great story and kudos to Uncle Wolfdog!!!

Same here, 100% satisified with their expanders and sizing bushings, so much so I don't bother looking anywhere else.
Anything can happen with any supplier, it's how the supplier handles problems,...

I'll take #9, RCBS cast bullet handbook, PM sent.

I really like the versatility and range of options with NOE's expanders and only one expander die body, meets all my needs.
I contacted Merit several times and they never replied. A fellow shooter uses EyePal so I checked it out, stick on, in stock, veteran owner, done - https://eyepalusa.com/

They're like a work of art, short turn around time, and single step process to produce very nice gas checks.

I have 2 arriving early next week, 35 & 6.5cals.

#20 35 Cal gas checks, I'll take one box, PM inbound.

I shoot the 266469, lubed with WLL's 2500+ and Sage's gas checks in a 6.5CM and quite well.

A genuine RCBS 35-200-FN goes for crazy money these days if you can find a nice one. I chose MP's clone in 4 cavity brass plain base for just a smidgeon more and it rains boolits.

I have an Echo press that was converted by a previous owner to accept standard shellholders. Can send you some pics if interested.
I've used the Sinclair tool for decades on all rifle brass every time, chucked in a cordless drill it's simple and quick.

Saeco 24 by chance? Reason I ask is the Lyman 61 is virtually the same. I had the same problem with mine and prior attempts to resolve the issue failed. I liked the pot too much to give up. Last week...

Thanks for posting this! I load for my brother and his 45-70 really liked the BTB Piledriver, now I can get them again. :)

I've wondered about that many times and have shot both ways without noticeable difference using WLL 2500+. This is with rifle rounds loaded for CBA match use.
I wipe the gas check across a rag to...
