Finding parts for a Pacific might be difficult. did you try to post a wanted ad here or on other boards? If Hornady bought Pacific it might be worth it to call their customer service and get some ideas too.

Good work! If more of us would take t.he time to share our sport with nonshooters half of the dumb ideas being spread around about guns and gun owners would disappear. Sounds like a great idea to make it a regular event

We have Dicks and Walmart- but WM only sells a few long guns now, Dicks sells pistols and long guns.

Thanks Steve that helps. I thought the JHP=UCHP for Speers. Joe

Thanks email coming to you. Joe

A friend gave me a box of these today to try in my 38spl/357mag loads. I have Unique, titegroup, and Bullseye powders. I don't have the Speer manual and the Lee and Hornady manuals don't show this bullet. Another reloader told me the Speer #12 and 14 books show 140 gr. UCHP bullet using...

There is still some to be found at my local public range. Lots of new gun owners are practicing with purchased ammo and I am glad to pick up after them!

Here in Ohio shops are short on everything, I went to 2 different big box Gander mtn stores in a city I was visiting this weekend, hardly any powder in either one. the small local stores at home haven't had a new shipment of powder in quite some time. Joe

Grab it in a hurry, even if you don't like the gun later you can resell and make some money!

what do you mean it goes up a little before going down? Is the bench flexing or is the press itself moving? Mine is rock solid. Ask Lyman for a manual they will send one out to you for free.

Sounds like you are in business! Look around on craigslist, ebay, and the many forums online for the rest of the stuff you will need/want. I did and picked up better equipment than I could have ever bought new.

thanks for the advice. I have a couple of auto repair shops owned by friends so I will look into availability of WW before I decide but at least I know what the ballpark expense will be now. I 'd be making them for 357 mag and 38 spl so 158gr would do it and 200/hr would be fine with me...

If I get into casting other than the obvious lead cost, how expensive is the equipment, and what is needed at minimum? thanks.

thanks 308. I have been rearranging my tool workbench where the vise is set up so I think I will make up one of those rifle holders for it for cleaning purposes. Joe

Gravel I liked the gun vise- what are those metal holders front and rear? Where did you find them? I may try that on my workbench. Joe
