I have a pair of 13 D tall tops
-
I wipe my Hammer sides and face after every stage, no cap sucks and usually four out of five caps are still on the cones and must be lifted off at the unloading table.
Polish those Hammer faces and keep them clean !
I can not see nail polish on the cones doing much past the first stage.
-
Yep, what he said.
-
I tried both 3/4 & 7/8 oz loads, back to 1 oz loads. lot more forgiving and better for KO targets.
-
Johnny Meadows, has the 16 ga. reamer for chamber & forcing cone. He did my 97/16 several Years ago. Makes a big difference.
-
Yep, Full Bucks for me on all my SASS/CAS Rifles.
-
I shoot a pair of Custom shop Colt 44WCF. Also fitted for 44 Special cylinders.
There are many that shoot Colts, for SASS/CAS.
-
I have stated many times, if I am ever restricted to one Rifle it will be my Rossi 92/44 mag.
I have a folding leaf barrel sight for 100 yards and lower. A tang sight for 200 yards and beyond. The piece is very accurate at 200 yards with a 240 gr. lead or Nosler RNJSP.

The primer flash hole drill is a # 46 drill, The hole should be .081"
1/16" = .0625"
-
1/16" is not the primer flash hole size. It is a number drill size, IIRC. I have it written down some where. The proper size is on the end of the Lyman flash hole tool. I use this for my case prep.
-
Lima beans make nice fillers, also.

Pietta's Lazer engraving is supurb. They have been doing it for awhile. My Hickok 1851 Pietta is lazer engraved.

I will be at BT, and shooting my Brassers.
Lets plan on an evening over dinner of discussion on the topic at hand.
How many will be there shooting the brass shells or have a sample for show & tell ?
I only do a roll crimp on the case when it needs a touch up, or when they are new. And I do not anneal the case mouths. You can, BUT! be careful how far down you go. Sage Rider annealed some case's and went to far, they expanded in the chamber and he had to drive them out with a cleaning rod. I would say, no more than a 1/4".
-
Parson John, did not expect his topic to last this long, quite a thread I must say.
-
A few years back I bought a Grocery bag full of Alcan 16 ga. wads for brass shells, the Vendor was happy to take my $5.00.
The stash included both OPC's & 1/2, 3/8" cushion wads. The 1/2" are lubed, (dry now). All wads are in original boxes. 500 to the box.

Griff;
Next time you visit, bring your brass shells and we will, Get-er-Done Pard. Have your cases clean and ready to go.
-
Set many a primer years ago with a Lee hand Loader, never had one go off.
-
I made mine out of Ash, also used a Forstner bit.
-
I think ya better get busy ! Ya might wana make the 12 ga. double thickness. I made a 16 ga. wood loading block, single thickness 3/4". That long case gets kinda wobbly in the short hole. Or drill thru and put a 1/8" bottom on the block. I have never tipped it over yet, but came close once charging shot.
-
Keep your eye out for a Flambeau shot shell loading block. Yellow in color, plastic , approx. 10 X 10 inches square. Dual sided, one side 28-20 gauge, other side 16-12 gauge. And holds 50 rounds. These were made in the 1960-70 era.
Great for loading, and working on Brass shells.
I found the one I have in a LGS in La Grande, Oregon. I think I paid $2.00 for the loading block.
They might show up and Gun Shows, Yard Sales, etc. Hard to miss the Yellow color and 50 square holes per side.
-
One thing I'd like to find is a 10 gauge shell holder! However, I have my 10 gauge Sizemaster that perhaps MEC has the depriming kit for one of those!
Buffalo Arms may have for what you seek !
-
My, we have some interest in Brass Shell's. This Thread & post is almost 2000 views so far.
Reminds me of the thread we had going over on CAS City a few Years ago. That's when Coffinmaker decided to make the plunge !
-
I seat my Brasser's with my RCBS Rock Chucker and a 12 ga. shell holder. De-cap with a MEC 600 jr. and the MEC Brass shell loading adaptor kit. The MEC adaptor kit comes with a Primer seater for Large pistol primers. But I find I get a better seat with the RCBS.
The MEC adaptor is not in the catalog or on-line. You must call MEC ask for the product and order from the Factory. Just ask for the Brass 12 ga. MEC 600 loading adaptor. When I bought mine it was around $35.00. I have an old 600 JR. set up just for brass case loading. The adaptor includes a LP primer de-capper & a LPP seater cup and rammer.
-
I know about the CH4D Dies. Buffalo Arms has them in the catalog & on line store. Very pricey but excellent product. I may just buy the crimp die only. IIRC; they sell the various dies separately. The full set is close to $200.00.
The sizing ring is good for the case base only, will not resize the case properly. The CH4D sizing die is slightly tapered, I believe.
