Rambler, just because I could, a set of RCBS dies will be here in a couple days. (MONDAY) Thanks for your input. If the new dies product will not fit my 1920 guns, for whatever reason then the Lee dies will remain in service. I just want the best for this gun I can make. of another one that might come my way. Since you load this Rambler, please allow me to ask this question. My powder charge of 2.3gn's of W231 leaves a bit of unburned powder with a WSP primer. any way away from that?? less of a charge would seem a bit skimpy, if not prudent so maybe CCI primers, or small magnum primers or is it a moot point?? THANKS for your time.

1940, first shipment lend lease, never issued and made it back with no proof marks.
