I guess I'm probably looking for an excuse to keep my last Star, which I never use... So if I can get dies for what I shoot, what better excuse to keep it!!

I'm looking for someone who can/will...

I admit a certain lust for the Lyman "Flying Ashtray" hollowpoint molds... Wish they weren't single cavity, tho' I did sit down and make a couple hundred from my 45 variant the other day...

No, they're bigger diameter that the J's... and the bottoms are shaped differently... not a straight diameter like the J's... search "Herters shell holder" on Flea Bay and you'll see what they...

I too have found that the KEY to getting uploads to work is the size of the file you're trying to upload... I've used Windows tools, 3rd party resizing applications and online compressors, then...

Hi all...

I'm not a bullet swager, but a friend asked if I could help identify some dies he came across. They clearly say "Hollywood Gun Shop"; one group is marked for 6mm and the other group is...

I too have evolved into the "Make It Easier" philosophy of reloading... I love Single Stage presses and I like antiques... So I've put them together, and many of my presses are classics (Hollywood...

What about the Star next to it (right side)?? Did it sell?? Still available???

The "few bucks" I was thinking for DIY was to acquire a cable or two to connect the hard drive of one machine to a second machine so you can retrieve data... I doubt your local computer shop will...

I agree with FarmerJim... I have used this method to rescue data for folks in the past. If you need help with hardware, any local computer repair shop should be able to help. Even if you prefer...

I don't load 30 Carbine, but that boolit looks just like the 30-110JG, without lube-groove and gas check. The 110JG indicates it is a 30 Carbine design boolit.

I do have other designs with the...

Hey Charlie... I second the approval for your improvised handle... I may try that on one of my presses, then share with friends...

I did get an odd display of this site last nite at ~2330 CDT... Only saw a few lines of code displayed; not exactly like HTTP code, just some printed instructions refering to line numbers. I didn't...

Since the OP is handloading loose tracer bullets, I will also caution him to check the base of the bullets being loaded. Every loose 30cal tracer bullet I've seen had the copper cup in the bottom,...

Being out of debt is wonderful, just make sure you have enough reloading capability....

I sold my 1050, 650, and 3 Star Universals but kept my 550 because it is plenty of progressive press for...

Debris in the pin holes??

If you don't mind getting another old scale, there's lots of American-made scales available on The Bay. Some are overpriced, but others are attractively priced and of high quality... As of 5...

That's gotta be some kind of record right there... having a mold for that long but never shot a bullet from it... <<whew>>

However it got to be in that shape, I think it's beautiful... but if...

I also find very "fine wires" of brass if I don't thoroughly deburr the outside of the neck... I think of it as letting the crimp die deburr the outside instead of spending extra time doing it by...

Andyt591... you mentioned in another thread that your buddy is teaching you the ins-n-outs of reloading... I recommend you take some of this brass and YOUR 30-06 die to his house and see how it...

I agree with this test before changing parts. I had a 1917 that would not shoot. Loosened the front band, and found the stock had changed shape slightly over time and was pushing up against the...

It also fits just about every other Herters model, and every press made off the same tooling that Herters used... Many of the inclined, C-type single-stage presses can use that primer arm.

Smith & Wesson model 13, with a 3 inch barrel... Picked up a 4 inch years ago for the right price and have really enjoyed it. The shorter barrel just looks right to me, but the prices are through...

I had a learning experience about 20 years ago after buying a surplus SKS. I saw there was cosmoline in the barrel, so I ran a patch through it a few times so I could see bore and grooves and headed...

+1 Yup... only it's been more than 2 years for me... I was one of the guys who tried engine paint as soon as I read a post here that postulated its use... I don't do that anymore tho...

My experience casting 224 is much the same as voiced by Lloyd and others... 224 projectiles are cheap right now; 5-7 cents each for plinkers... not worth the hassle to cast them. Yes, it's a hobby...
