    Thinking about a new press - Thoughts?

    I just went through a similar process. Except I started on a turret press. The turret press was great but was a little bit slow and I ended up splitting out each stage to ensure everything was just right. I also did hand priming to remove that burden @ the press. After a LOT of research...

    Using a Turret Press?

    I asked the same question :) http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=484405 Regarding the Lyman Turret press, another problem I was having was deflection issues of the turret head. everything was tight but it would still deflect a little during loading which slightly misaligned the bullet...

    RCBS uniflow powder measure

    I wonder how many other people use the large cylinder to charge small charges. Since I got mine on ebay it didn't have the small cylinder so thought I'd try the charge quality of the large before purchasing a small cylinder. I load 9mm and 45acp so am around 4.5-5.5 grains typically. with...

    9mm cartridge, maybe?

    and just to clarify: my setup consists of a separate seating and crimp process. I utilize the lee factory crimp die for case conformity. set up all 7 cases exactly the same. I also did the barrel test by pulling the barrel out and individually dropping each round in to ensure they were all...

    9mm cartridge, maybe?

    crimp is identical to the other 6 blank rounds I chambered through the firearm perfectly. I'm curious on your crimp. lyman 49th manual shows .380. all of my cases show ~.377 by simply taking out the bell. How did you get yours down to .370?

    9mm cartridge, maybe?

    I was setting up the OAL of some 9mm rounds and loaded up some empty rounds to check cycling in the gun(note, primers were NOT installed) during cycling I noticed that one of the rounds consistently had difficulty completely chambering w/out a little nudge. OAL was the same, case length...

    RCBS uniflow powder measure

    I did a lot of research before choosing a powder measure and had a lot of positive feedback on the uniflow so got a used one from ebay. it only came with the large cylinder. Based on additional reading, I also purchased the baffle. the first time I used it, I ran ~20 charges through it to...

    Lyman multi expand / charge die issue

    it was a brand new die and no burrs found so I'm guessing you're right. I'll call lyman and see if I need to go purchase a dremel or if they'll fix it for me. thanks for the feedback.

    turret press reloading process - thoughts

    I began reloading not long ago using a lyman turret press. I purchased RCBS pistol dies, a RCBS powder measure, and a lyman multi expander/charge die. When I first started I was running a bullet through the entire turret(minus the priming, I do hand priming in front of the tube)...

    Lyman multi expand / charge die issue

    First of all I do enjoy this die. It simplifies the process significantly on my turret press. And the expand die has a taper that works well for seating lead bullets. But I have a bit of a problem and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing. The appropriate expander...

    Powder Measure on Turret?

    I use a Lyman multi expand charge die for running my RCBS powder measure. Not sure how the redding is setup. It dropped my production time down and provides a better flare on my pistol casing than the RCBS expander die did.
