I've just recently started collecting the tong tools and dies and the Truline Jr presses. I'm having fun learning to use them but have some questions for those out there with more experience them me. I loaded my first batch of 38 specials with the tong tool. it loaded beautiful shells and was fun. However if I didn't have a pack of spare decapping pins I'd have been in trouble. I broke 4 while loading 90 shells. Are they that fragile or am I doing something wrong?? I adjusted them so they were just out far enough to push out the primer.
Also it seemed to take a good amount of force to use the muzzle resizer both closing and opening it. I'm wondering when I get to the .44 mags and the .45 colt if it's going to be even tougher? I used imperial sizing wax and only sized down about 3/8" or less from the end of the case.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Mike
