Thank you, LAGS. I may resort to that. I'm wondering if Lee sell a .358 mold.

Now that's what I'm talking about!! Thank you, NVBob!

I understand from all y'all that all S&W bbls are non-symmetrical -- i.e. they have five lands not 6, and so there's a groove directly opposite the land. And sure enough, there is. Makes measuring rather difficult. So to find the "true" size of my bore, do I just trust that the grooves are...

Thanks, Sexybeast and BruceB. You guys are what makes these forums (fora?) so helpful.

Sexybeast--thanx for the info. What's the OAL on the 124 gr LRN?

Here's the problem: The powders I have on hand are 231 (which I'd rather use, b/c it's open), Unique, and True Blue. So I need data that use one of these. I also have some 125 gr RN cast boolits. Until my moulds get here I must use these. Perhaps you can already see the problem. So the...

Way back when the earth was young and pterodactyls flew in the sky, my dad got me a Lee Loader for my first deer rifle (30/06). (comes in a box about the size of a small book, and everything is done by hand and hammer) I used that exclusively for many years. Years later when I got back into...

Solved it. Tried this and that, cleaned out the shellholder and the top of the ram, did some very careful looking using Optivisor, used my deburring tool to chamfer a couple, even consulted my bruvver the engineer. So what finally eliminated the alignment problem was the use of my left...

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm curious why the S&W MP9 is not mentioned anywhere here. Does it have a bad rep? It's on my short list, together with the SR9, and a Sig that I can't afford.

Thanks, guys. So I'll make sure the case is properly in the shellholder, the shellholder properly in the ram, and see. If that doesn't clear it up, I reckon I will need to talk w/ Lee. Or just chamfer the cases, but the whole reason for this question was to speed things up. Really grateful.

These were all CCI primers. I've had no trouble w/ them previously on the rockchucker.

Thank you, rsrocket. Very grateful.

45 acp. sorry. Shoulda mentioned that.

Just got my first experience with new turret (Lee Classic). I was surprised to find that the slowest part is just getting the primers seated. They tend to just barely mis-align, and require some fiddling about to get the primer in the pocket. I am accustomed to my RCBS single stage where the...

Thanks, Dr Z. I will go over to CastBoolits and get some more info on 45/45/10. Thanks all I reckon I have been using too much lube. Just started using more b/c of leading. Gonna have to do more research.

It occurred to me reading some of these threads that here is a problem I need some input on. I noticed in loading my 45's that the OAL was very slowly diminishing. Finally figured out that I was getting a buildup of the tumble lube on the post of the seating die. Turns out that the very first...

Thank you, Walkalong. As usual, this forum is the answer to my problems. Thanks for that input on carbide crimp dies. Useful info, that.

I'm trying to find a carbide taper crimp die for 9mm, and I can't remember what I did to get my 45 one. RCBS doesn''t seem to be the source, b/c their web site doesn't seem to recognize the word "die". The closest I seem to be able to come is a Lee Carbide die, but it's a factory crimp...

Thanks tcoz. very helpful. I would eventually have realized that the mfgr site would be more informative than cabelas or midway.

Thanks, Archangel. That helps. What is the difference between the Lee Classic, Lee deluxe, and the just plain old Lee Turret? Any idea?
