    I just traded for one of those..quad rail forearm and adjustable stock. I really like it .45 ACP with no recoil and it does seem accurate for..what it is. The factory sights are next to worthless,...

    Thanks. That's a good option for making the bell manageable for the FCD , Motor, and one that I didn't think of because I got in such a mind-set of seating and crimping in different stages. There's...
  3. Lee .45 TL Works Better

    The Lee 9mm TC TL bullets powder coated HF red came out OK and the FCD post sized the bullet down to .358+ to .356 (pulled some and micked them) The bullet just doesn't work in my two CZs. I have...

    Well, I'm certainly glad I lived up to your expectations, Motor, because you come across as one who knows it all. I do thank those who actually tried this and the one who referenced Ed Harris and...

    Interesting about the new "crimp only" Factory Crimp pistol die. I'll check that out, too.

    OK, I played around a little with post sizing as cast and powder coated bullets for 9mm. The Lee 124 TC...
  6. I have both rifle and pistol Lee Factory Crimp...

    I have both rifle and pistol Lee Factory Crimp dies and they are completely different in function. The pistol dies do have a smooth carbide ring at the base of the die that sizes the entire...
  7. Using Lee Factory Cripm Die To Size Tumble Lube Groove Bullets

    An advantage of using Lee's tumble lube bullets is that you can just shoot them as cast after a swirl in liquid alox to lube. I never did like liquid Alox, but have dragged out my tumble lube bullet...

    Thanks for the info about the use of SR4759. I have a good supply of that and there is a local skeet/trap club that has a good stock of it for sale. Even if it's dropped from manufacture I could...
  9. Great info, thanks. Rifle powder is still...

    Great info, thanks. Rifle powder is still difficult to find in my neck of the woods. Whatever 4895 I do get I reserve for my M1 and M1A. I haven't seen 4831 for a very long time. Really, I feel...
  10. 200 Yard 8X57 Mauser Loads Using Lee 8X56R Bullets

    I shoot in monthly vintage rifle matches using as issued military rifles up to Korean War vintage. These matches are all at 200 yards and are stages of 10 rounds slow fire prone, 10 rounds of rapid...

    Great advice given and I'd like to add my little bit about eventually (probably sooner than later) needing a full length sizing die. Even with brass fire formed and reloaded for the same rifle it...
  12. Poll: I've come and gone and come back to the FCD for...

    I've come and gone and come back to the FCD for .45 ACP in my S&W 625. I do see the potential for some post sizing the lead bullet with the possibility of some decrease in accuracy, but have come to...

    I like Alliant 2400 for cast loads in my mil surpp rifles. These loads are accurate at the 200 yard range of our vintage military rifle matches and 2400 doesn't seem at all position sensitive for...

    Good to learn, ..makes me feel better since I've already ordered 4. The SKS is an Albanian with a bit different shape mag than the others. I've read that those Tapco 20 rounder detachable mags...

    Does anyone use these Tapco SKS mags with cast bullet loads? I have a load (Lee SKS bullet and 26 gr. 4895) that is accurate and feeds reliably with the GI fixed SKS 10 round mag. I now want to...
