  1. My elbow loves it when I use Hornady 1 Shot when I'm reloading pistol caliber brass. For rifle calibers I use Imperial Sizing wax.
  2. Sears & Roebuck Catalogs are a great source of historical info. The first catalog as we know it was published in 1895 PDF of the 1897 Catalog https://www.hursthistory.org/uploads/1/0/7/0/107013873/sears_catalog_ppt.pdf

  4. Thing is vast majority of "Social Media" websites are a bad influence. Especially on the mental health of children. I have a Grand daughter that suffers from a laundry list of mental problems made 1000 times worse because of "Social Media". Kids and adults say a lot of things on Social Media they would never say face to face. Unfortunately the horse is out of the barn and I can see no way to round it up and put it back in.
  5. This is what I expected.
  6. Because the Lee powder die is essentially 3 pieces. Compare the diameters of each transition. How well do they line up? is there a lip or ledge that could cause the bridge? The Dillon powder die is designed so that there can be no ledges for the powder catch on.
  7. How well does the seating die conform to the bullet profile? Assuming you are using RNFP bullets is the seating plug flat or a different shape? As for the bridging, How does the diameter of the hole in the Dillon powder funnel compare to the Lee? Shooter's World Black like 3F APP is pretty coarse. Make sure the inside of the powder funnel is really clean. I use a brass brush chucked up in a drill to ensure there is no rust in the power channel. If the hole in the Lee die is smaller than the Dillon you could try to drill it out a little. However I'm betting that the powder funnel is made of some pretty hard metal.
  8. That modified expander is what I described. You can do yourself as long as you have a way to spin the expander. BTW it will not fit in a 1/2 chuck.
  9. Now you need to post a picture.
  10. Keep in mind that once you get a tiny build up of brass on the powder funnel, it will cause cases that wouldn't normally stick to stick as well.
  11. For the same reason it occurs with 45 ACP. The cases are really short. On some cases the web of the case extends a little higher making the brass thicker. This combined with the shape of the powder funnel causes it to bind occasionally because it is pushing against the thicker brass of the web. The other calibers don't have this problem because the cases are longer so the powder funnel never approaches the thicker brass near the web of the case. I fixed the issue for 45 ACP by giving a little more taper to the powder funnel.
  12. First, Are you using the correct powder funnel? ( F ) I had this issue loading 45ACP. Modified the powder funnel by slightly increasing the taper until I had removed about .001" from the tip. Did this by chucking it up in a lathe and increasing the taper with a little Emory paper. Then polished it to a mirror finish.

  14. Reliable but take a heavier hammer spring to set them off. Similar to CCI primers.
  15. Welcome, Barkeep, a round for the house. Put it on @Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 tab.
  16. AFAIK all the U-2 pilots were military. Volunteers came from every branch of the service.
