you're welcome! thanks for the help.

They measure .840 OAL

haven't checked accuracy yet, shooting just for pressure signs I have only shot 4 rounds. I think its time for a chrono

yes sir! I see the starting load is 15gr I was just a little concerned about pressure because of seating the bullet deeper, that's why I backed off of starting load I cant use the 1st crimp for my smith its just a tad long.

I'm shooting a smith 6" barrel, no I don't have a chronograph yet, I don't know what my velocity is but I'm at 13gr of 2400

Hi guys! I'm looking for someone who has loaded 44 Mag using the lee cast 310 gr bullet I am currently using 2400 powder. my Lyman manual calls for a starting load of 14gr and 15.7 max for a 300gr bullet I am seating to the second crimp so the oal is about .100 shorter than listed My question is...

Ok thank you

Hey guys i'm wondering if somone can help me out I am looking for a universal taper crimp Die for 45 40 and 9mm do they make such a animal? I have looked online and I can only find caliber specific taper crimp dies Thanks, Brian

I just wanted to check back in and say I put the new drive shaft and hub back together and all is well that was very strange for it to freeze up like that. I put a very light coat of marine grease on the hub I think I will take it apart maybe anually to clean it and lube. just a note I took...

No not humid it is in a basement but I do have a dehumidifier running the drive hub that was stuck looked like cosmoline or something the only thing I can think of is when I clean off the sub plate I use rubbing alcohol and maybe it broke down the powder when it ran between the hub and plate. as...

I haven't used my lock n load in a few months so when I went down to my bench I started to pull the handle and when I got to the bottom of the stroke the index wheel wouldn't turn the drive shaft so the drive hub wouldn't turn I thought something was stuck or broke I couldn't hardly turn the...

I loaded and shot 8.0 10.0 10.5 and 11.0 gn unique for recoil I have a small bullet trap in my basement the 11.0 gn is stout but as mentioned not as stout as 296/110 loads. I liked the feel of the 8.0gn I can't wait to get out to the range

I will load some at 8gn too and take them to the range also. 44special lists 5.8to 6.5 in my lyman book for 240gn lead and 44mag shows 10.0 to 11.7 unique how come such a big gap for a starting load in 44mag?

I was talking with my wife a couple weeks ago and I said I wish I had a 22cal pistol for plinking and she looked at me and said why don't you go buy one? I said what's the catch what do you want? she said nothing, she's the best:D well I went just a little bigger in caliber and got a...

I am using the action 158gn I thought they were the zinger but they are indeed the 158gn
