Default Got ready to load.....

.44 magnums, but ran into a glitch. More on that later.

Separated out brass for 9mm, .38, .357, 7.7 Arisaka, Mosin and 30-06. I even found a .223 in there. And a bunch of .40s I put in my 'one day I might get that caliber' box.

I bought some used dies that don't have a flare plug. (I just load these because my friend has a .44. He never knows what kind of 'surprise' I'll give him). Any way, I didn't like the way these felt while and after sizing. I have used these dies before with good results. I was digging around for something to flare the top with when I stuck a bullet in it went in too easily. i used my calipers that have just gone one the fritz but they all measured within SAAMI specs. I think that the dies are well worn.

Now if I can just find GOOD calipers.
