Ammunition & Hand Loading > Cartridge and Shotshell reloading
Reloading Presses ?

Somewhat off topic... but... I came up with a solution for the bullet punch problem on the Lee Bullet Sizing Die stuff on my LNL.
Took a shell plate that had a big enough hole in it (in this case, plate #29 for the 41mag)... and flipped it upside down.
Holds it just fine (although still concerns over auto indexing and the fact it's not being held in place by the coiled brass retention spring).
Given that the punch has the thinner diameter at the top, then a middle ring, then the fat flat head that would typically hold it in place .... the punch actually stops going into the die at the middle ring area.
Annnnnddd... it lines up just fine and goes into the sizing die no problem.

Well.....I went and done it. Ordered a Redding Big Boss II from Midway. Looked real hard at the Rock Chucker, but read alot of not so happy posts. Seems that they are now made in China and the fit and finish really is an issue to some people. So, I chose the Redding. My plans are to use the Honady LNL adapter and bushings to make die changes easy and quick. Ya know, setup speed is an issue when you try to load 50 rounds in a week. :laugh: Lets see now, all I need is a hand primer, power dispenser, scale, dies, shell holders, reloading manual, calipers, case trimmers,.......... :-\ and enough sense to learn the proper procedures. :o Otherwise, all I have is a really nice nutcracker. :'( Anybody need walnut shells for their tumbler ?

Congrats Kozball! Your addiction hobby is just beginning!
Case trimmer .... there are some fancy electric all in one things that might be cool... but... i have one of these and can attest to their absolutely great quality:

Re: Case Trimmer.........
That little cranky-handle with the knurled knob can be easily removed via the Allen screw.
And a 1/4" or 3/8" drill motor (variable speed preferred) can be hooked up directly to the trimmer spindle, replacing the cranky-handle. All of which saves wear and tear on the reloader-person and puts it onto machinery, where it righteously belongs.
The case mouth chamfering can be done with the drill, as well.
Makes the whole case trimming thing go like blazes.
