I bought a complete Tru-Line in 9mm in 1966. Sold it to a guy across the street in 1971 when I moved. Got it back about 20yrs ago, it was still wrapped in the same plastic baggy. Re-found it about 6mos. ago on a car parts shelf. Yesterday I set it up w/N0. 55 powder dispenser........loaded up 30 or so 115 gr FMJ to test function in a Luger. Will get to that today.....anyway.....I cant praise that loader enough. Slick & easy although I had to use a '60's Pontiac distributor shaft for a handle.

I have another of these loaders; the black linkage from the handle is a more simplified design, that loader is much stiffer to use on FL resize station.

I found about 3000 .452 cast bullets, truncated cone design, some with one grease groove......others with 3. All seem to be greased. My postage scale says 15grams (just short of 1/2oz.)........ I have nothing better.

I am reloading for Thompson SMG......while I havnt tried these, I suspect they wont feed well as these guns dont like hollow points either, similar shape.

I do have several revolvers in .44 & .45ACP..???????, lots of empties & several sets of dies (not Tru-Lines).

I thought I had more S&W pictures, since not, enclosed one of Range Officer Donna expressing displeasure at getting rained out,..... not a S&W...!!!
