years ago as a 1lt, i went to a Memorial day service at the luxembourg cemetery - after, we went out, made a right turn and went to the german cemetary. where the priest who was with us, offered a prayer and said "im Tod sind wir Brüder geworden" so high a price I thought to myself, to stay...

..I have two of the previous gen set up for 38 wc and 45 swc. since I prime by hand (iot clean prmr pockets) the decap/size station is modified accordingly. the secret is "clean and dry" to keep things running smoothly - I love mine!

Look at the April 07 issue of Handloader - it has what may well be the solution to what you are looking for. I use the same loads in my 25 and my Marlin 1894 and can't say enough good about them. Shot a doe last year at about 80 yards just behind left shoulder - bullet exited the right and she...
