I suppose I'm capable of convoluted thinking. I was reading about power factor and velocity. That led to my thinking that a bit more about how velocity, adds to accuracy. Once the best accuracy is reached, more powder is a waste. I'm satisfied I should have kept that question to myself. I'm good...

I have read posts about not making power factor. Barrel length had been mentioned as a factor. A bit more powder was suggested to increase velocity, therefore maybe getting the reloader to the power factor they desire. When it comes to reloading I've learned it best not to be reckless. That's...

What crimp die are you using? The Lee Factory Crimp Die will fix your problem.

I have found loads of load data for .38 Special! Most of it is for either 4, 5, or 6 inch barrels. I have revolvers with 2 and 3 inch barrels. I currently use 4.0 grains of HP-38 with 158 grain, plated, Berry Flat Points. OAL of 1.450. Will my short barrel revolvers be more accurate with a...

I have had good luck with Winchester brass. I no longer have any "once fired" brass. I now shoot at home and pick up my own.

The first new drum I tried has greatly improved leakage with HP-38. :rofl:

Some background information. I bought the Pro 6000 in July of this year. The original owner said he bought it in June, of this year. The press is the 9mm flavor with 3 Lee dies. I immediately order the 9mm Lee Factory Crimp die, .45 ACP dies and .45 ACP shellplate. Also a shellplate for .38...

@LiveLife Thank you. Larry

Would someone please provide a list of the latest upgrade parts for the Lee Six Pack Pro press? Thanks in advance. Larry

I have the original LCP. I've often thought about getting the Max, for the "improvements". But, threads like this will keep me just thinking about getting a Max! My LCP is already unpleasant to shoot. Had a CZ 9mm compact once. I loved everything about it, except shooting it. Trigger slap was...

Glock 42. OWB holster.

Set down at my Lee Six Pack Pro and it won't index correctly. Indexing starts, but I have to nudge the shell plate into position. I am very new to this press. Any solutions? Larry

Works perfect in my Glock 42.

Need ideas for removing the safety pin. Others have said it drives right out. This one will not budge. I'm thinking of removing the bolt and trying my Arbor Press on the pin. Has anyone else had success with this? Any other suggestions?

My present favorite.38 Special is a Taurus 856 Defender. Talo edition. I am VERY satisfied with it. A Wolff spring kit fixed the trigger pull. I have owned, sold or traded, quite a few Taurus's in.38 Specials. And years ago, a 605 .357 that had a 3" barrel. And a beautiful Taurus 66, 6" barrel...
