Thanks guys, I know the 7383 has been a bit of a mystery to some, especially if we haven't worked with it much. I think I will stick with 860, 870, or 872 for the big capacity J word stuff, and try...

Mine didn't have a lot number on it either.

Looks like I could use my 7383 to load for the '03A3. Not sure from what I read if I would want to use that powder in the 338 Lapua or 30-378 Wby, may have to use one of the other surplus powders for...

The grains of my 7383 measures 0.0375X.086
There is also WC870 & WC 872, I don't have either on hand, at the moment, but they could also be considered. I was aware that 7383 can be quirky, I...

I am looking for load data for 30-378Wby & 338 Lapua using surplus powders; IMR 7383; IMR 5010 & WC 860?
I would think these slow powders would be good in the large capacity cases with heavy...

I am looking for a mold that should work for a Remington Model 8, chambered for 32Rem. Regular flat point j word bullets don't feed to well, I think I might need something with a round or pointed...

Things were getting slow in here, so I thought I would post a couple pics of new benches, old setup is a few pages back. Need to add a progressive press yet. Probably the Hornady. :grin:

Reloads just fine, no heavy primer crimp to deal with, a little twist with the inside case mouth deburring tool to remove the 3 stab crimp marks. Normally good brass to use. Have not had any issues...

I worked in a pattern shop a few years ago, it was the only press I had cast :(:( wish I had cast more. I had an itch to have a larger press then, just never got around to machining it. Now I...

How does the A2 compare to the Rock Chucker for case clearance ? I am looking for something with more room than the Rock Chucker.
Also what is the difference between the A2 and the 2A ?
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Pavogrande, I believe that your press is the same as the one I have, as it is also a C type frame with the same markings & ram Diameter.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I need to make a ram for one of these. Could someone provide overall length and linkage area dimensions. I plan on machining it for standard shell holders.

Yours sounded quite nice for the price, I orderd one for my M1917 and one for #1MK3. I hope they are like the one you recieved. :drinks:
