I had this problem. I ordered a new "disconnector" and that solved it. The groove that the spring sits in is cut much deeper in the new one.

I load the Lee 311-93-1r in 32 h&r cases with 4.0 grains of Unique in my single seven. Winchester primers. Bullets are as cast, no sizing. About .312. No problems with primers.

I finally got around to sizing a bunch of bullets through my little contraption. Works pretty good. Definitely easier than the normal way. Just drop the bullet into the sizer and bring down the...

That is fantastic. I'll be laying awake thinking about making one of those now. I can't find the special projects area though.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I found the idea here somewhere of mounting a press upside down so that you can just drop a bullet into the Lee sizing die instead of balancing it on the punch. What I didn't see was if anyone...
I use the Lee 175 TC in 40 S&W and it works good on pins. I use a heavy load of WSF and get very good accuracy. Well hit it will clear the pin off the table well enough.
Pin shooting is a great...
I think I agree with Love Life in that my grip is more consistent when shooting da. Shooting single action I can get good groups but I really have to concentrate. I have difficulty maintaining my...

I have had success using the Lee 230TC bullet on pins.
I'd like to try the .38 Long Colt too, but probably not until next year. I've already spent too much this year.
Just to revisit this. I'm now shooting a 4" S&W 620 with moon clips. I'm about out of hp38 so I decided to try imashooter2's load of 3.9 grains WST with the 150 grain bullet. Works great. ...

Can I check my answers with you before I post next time?

I had trouble with the melt getting too hot so I built a PID. I set it at 700 to start and I haven't felt the need to move it yet. From 105 grain to 230 grain boolits it works great at 700. I...
Here's a link to Bud's. Their picture shows a lock.

On the S&W website, looking at the 360 view I can see...
I had a feeling that was going to be the answer but I wanted to ask anyway. I'm always hoping there's a trick that will get me past a problem. Usually there isn't. I'll just have to give it a try...
Nice video. I also liked the one you did on the 44 Blackhawk.
Okay, being a devout cheapskate I have ordered a Lee 452-160-RF mold so I can cast some lead savers. I'll be shooting these in a S&W 1937 Brazilian revolver. In my experience lighter bullets...
I'm pretty happy that the 3" made the power factor.
As for the Dan Wesson, I won't be using it in competition until I figure out its light strike problem. I put in a new main spring, but it...

Strangely, I have bought new virgin 44 magnum brass from MidwayUSA cheaper than I could find once fired 44 magnum brass.

I'm a big fan of the Lee 358-105-swc. I size them to .357 and seat them pretty deep, almost to the shoulder. Good accuracy with light loads.
Thanks to the magic of Amazon I got a chronograph today. Took 3 of my revolvers out and tried my handloads and some factory stuff. Just a quick test. I didn't have much of the factory American...
I decided I'm going to buy a Chronograph so I can have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what my loads are doing. I think your right about the 3" though. I shoot it well, but maybe if I spend...
I'm going to give ICORE a try and I need some help with load data. I'm using the Lee 358-150-1R in 38 special. Right now my normal load is 4.4 grains of HP38. Shoots very accurate for me in my 3"...

Thanks, the case I got is metal. I'll hook wire it up as soon as the PID shows up.
