The round plastic knob that came with my Lyman Mag-T has always irritated my hand because it has a groove cut into the circumference of the ball. Today I was in my local hardware store and they had the exact size round wooden (Teak) knobs. I bought one and drilled and installed it. The...

Show us a picture of your reloading bench. Here is a pic of mine (its not always so neat :))

Here is a pic you can see that the cartridge on the right has a bottle neck appearance. I am using a Lee FCD in 9mm, its a good die, all I'm saying is that it can be misadjusted as the above picture shows.

This is the Italian website (translated to English) that has the information on my pistol - http://www.benelli.it/Articoli/Famiglie.asp?IDTipo=9

Is that a fact though? I have found that if I wind my FCD in 9mm to low, I get a deformed case. It makes the round look like a bottle necked cartridge.

renaissance, I'd be interested in knowing how you went with this?

I mentioned before about carrying .38 HBWC loads in a MTM 9mm case guards. If you only have the .38/.357 case guards and it annoys you how the cartridges rattle around. If you cut some styrofoam to the exact inside dimension of the caseguard lid and hot melt glue that in - presto ! No more...

I bought one in 30/30 about 25 years ago, but from memory it had a red plastic tool similiar to the Lee auto prime, only you had to put a primer in each time.

I think your overloading. I would say that 1.8 gr of Unique would be more appropiate. Thats what my friend has loaded for years for ISSF centrefire match. (Edit: I don't load for .32 so please don't take what I say for granted) I have the Benelli MP90S World Cup in .22 they are wonderfully...

There has been some absolutely terrific tips and ideas posted :) Lots of them have been ingenious and some great time savers ! Keep 'em coming.

What clever little things have you "invented or discovered" that you can share that makes things just that much easier on your reloading bench ? For me I have used coloured plastic zip ties around my dies to differentiate them in the turret press and also the spare sets that I have for...

I've got 6 Lee dies in my T-Mag and 3 of them are dressed in Lyman lock rings and the 3 remaining Lee rings get the wrench on them. I have ordered more Lyman lock rings from my local gunshop. I don't like how when you "finger" tighten the Lee dies with the 'O' rings that you can wobble the whole...

Don, I have read that method before, but my spring seems to be pretty much on the tough side. It is definately exerting some major tension. I'm a fiddler at heart. The smallest cc hole that comes with the 4 disk set won't let me throw lower than 3.3 using W231. So I filled 3 of the larger...

Thanks for the replies, I live in Australia and we pay around 2 1/2 what you guys pay for reloading equipment. The Auto disk was $60.00 and a replacement hopper is around $20.00 thats why I want to extend its life. When I go to visit online stores like Midway my mouth drools !

I have read that people "beef" up their Lee Auto Disk Powder Measure where the silly wood screws enter the body of the hopper. Can someone tell me how to actually do this? I can't see it lasting all that long the way it is at the moment.

I was always under the impression that it was most important to trim handgun cartridges because of the uniformity required when crimping.

Thanks for the replies. I am getting confused with the term Taper Crimp. I was of the belief that the Lee die sets actually did do a sort of "improved" taper crimp ? You guys have given me some good pointers. I will change a few things and see if it improves. It must be user error, surely I...

I am having some major headaches with a new .38 SPL Lee die set. I have them mounted in a Lyman T-Mag II and the crimp die is driving me nuts! I can't get a proper crimp. The only .38 cartridge that I load is 3.0 grains 231 with a swaged 148 HBWC. If I look closely at the crimp and turn...

Whats the best trimmer for handgun cartridges? Any suggestions? I'm thinking of getting a Lyman Universal Trimmer.
