If a prosecutor is out to "make his name" on you, it ain't gonna matter if it is a good or bad shoot, or what ammunition was used, you are most likely going down. Best to carry insurance. If you think that "but I was using factory ammo" is going to save you, guess again.

I lost the little bridge piece almost 40 yrs ago. Still using the big wire tie I replaced it with. Like your rubber band, but doesn't rot off, and can remove easily to empty. Still get a bouncer once in a while though, especially if a RCBS de-capping die is used, that thing sends spent primers...

Trail Boss, straight wall cartridges, and lead bullets. About as good as it gets for easy shooting.

There are "M" type powder funnels available for the Dillon. As far as a seating die, have you spoken with Dillon?

Andy, how much, if any, nose distortion do you get from hitting the ramp when chambering with those bullets?

Wow, if that guy was hand rolling cannelures in to cases, his production rate had to be pretty low. :eek: I have had one of those tools for twenty three years, it doesn't see any use any more. It reduced accuracy for me. (rifle, never used it for handgun).

Back in the mid seventies, when I first started handloading, I couldn't even find a taper crimp die. Seems like some genius at RCBS thought everyone was going to shoot .45acp through revolvers, because acp dies were roll crimp dies. That made it necessary to just slightly bump the case mouth...

I have used a light solution of Simple Green to clean cases manually, (between pin tumbling's) in a dishpan for quite a while now. No issues have come up. I use about 1/4 cup to 1 gal. of very warm water in the dishpan, dump a few hundred (or less) cases in the pan and just use my hands to...

And a great whitetail bullet too, from a rifle out to about 125yds.

Compared to smokeless, it is much more stable. Even if it gets wet, all you have to do is dry it out. The subs are what is unstable. As long as the bullet is seated on the powder, you are not going to damage a No. 1 with 70gr of black. You won't damage a trapdoor either. But you will have to...

I have sometimes had to do this to seat oil pump check valve balls, using an alum. rod and a small hammer. I was going to suggest using lapping compound, but you already did that.

Wow, I wonder what caused that, A few months ago I found a partial box of .357 wadcutter loads that were loaded with Bullseye 40+ years ago. They all fired just fine, and it was nickle plated brass. (Still have 5 left, gonna try 'em in 10 more years, if I can...):D

They are the way to fly. For a number of years I wound up making my own custom sized expander dies with the step, and I still do for some types of load.

Thank you for posting! After 40+ years of handloading, I have learned to sneak up on max loads, but I have never used li'l gun, in anything. This is intended for my 10yr old nephew to hunt piggies at fairly close range. I could let him use my Beowulf, but I don't want to have to look for him in...

Thank you very much gentlemen, much appreciated! :D

Does any one have any current data for a combination such as this??

Works fine in my .50 Beowulf, but I won't use it in my M19. I am still making a decision about using it in my .357 Henry under a 180 XTP.

I do it for my straight wall cases used in rifles, and revolvers with oversize charge holes, yes I gain better accuracy and chamber sealing and much less **** in the actions of my lever rifles. :D .45-70 and .45 Colt. My Henrys are easy to clean thoroughly, My Winchesters, not so much.

I get better accuracy in all of my rifles using bottle neck cases by full length resizing. I would never neck size cases for a hunting or battle rifle. I do set up my head clearance.

It is a Rolls-Royce of a press, luv mine.
