As intro, I've reloaded handgun for years and rifle for a couple years but this is a new problem. I have a few hundred once fired S&B cases. I'm using a Lee full length resizing die and a Lee zip trim as well as a Lee cutter and case length guide. Some of the brass is too tight at the...

Ohioshooter, have large worms ever crashed into your reloading room? Great setup, I'm jealous! Chap

You guys are a rip. You made my day! :D Thanks for the laugh. JLJ

Dean: The do look and feel like they are coated. I had some Precision Bullets (I believe that is correct) a few years ago that were coated and these resemble those. I'll try o post a picture but it won't be till later in the week. Chap

I was looking for .380 lead at the gun show this weekend so I could load some ammo for my daughter. I was frustrated that the normal lead purveyors had none, but finally found a box near the end of the day. I snatched them up. After I got them home I noticed they had no lube but they do have...

I'll try to post a picture this evening. Chap

NCsmitty: I've been putting liquid wrench on it, to no avail. I've also been using an 18volt commercial grade hammer drill. The screws are pretty deep so there no problem getting purchase. Chap

Thanks JWF: Anyone have experience loosening the trigger guard screws? :confused: I'll try to post a picture later. Chap

Any Italian surplus gurus out there. I have a surplus Mannlicher-Carcano of unknown caliber. It is made by Terni. I'm trying to get the stock off but can't get the screws that pass through the trigger guard into the receiver loose. They are rusted fast. The gun has some rust and some...

Thanks to everyone who looked. I found another site that said S&W J frame and Taurus small frame have different grip configurations. Hogue also has different model numbers for their products. Thanks, :) Chap

Can anyone comment on the interchangeability of after market grips between Taurus, S&W and Charter Arms Small or J frame size guns with the same butt configuration. Chap

I may have added to the confusion. The die I have is the Rifle Charging Die, not the Universal handgun die. At least I think there is a difference. Chap

Can anyone give me a definitive answer? I did search and it seems that there were some who said yes others, not. The directions say 308 or smaller. I'm using the Universal die now for 223. If it can't be used, what do I use with my double disk kit and Auto disk? Thanks, 17Chap

I wasn't aware of the sales tax thing. So shipping is included in the cost of the rifle? Chap
