Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
While setting up the lubrisizer it gave me the opportunity to use this gizmo its a tool for fitting and removing the top nut that holds the die in place so you do not damage the fine thread. It works a treat. I got it of Adam at pukkabundhooks ages ago. Id recommend it.
Unfortunately the bullets sized to .357 not what I wanted. I might just use liquid allox for the rest of them and see how that pans out.Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
Tea and lubed bullets is all ways a good starting point.

100 once fired cases to be prepped.

The cases were sized primed then expanded using a very old expander die that works like the Lyman sizing buttons.
The Lee priming tool is pap they should be banned from flooding the market with there crap.Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
Next job is powder using a Lee very old hand operated powder measure that actually works.
All weights checked on my calibrated Hornady beam scale.
Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
Finally seating the bullets using a Lee modified reloader die and a arbor press.
Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
And the final product 100 reloaded rounds ready to go and the end of this story as there is obviously no interest in my ramblings.
So I wont be doing any thing similar again.

Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
How long did it take to load the 100?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: .38 Winchester Under lever accuracy
It has been a good thread with informative pictures Dave and we are yet to hear how the load is doing accuracy wise so why quit now?
