38 special

#1 Post by Alpha1 »

Just spent another pleasant evening re loading 38 special for my Winchester under lever rifle using a Le loader a RCBS powder measure and a Hornady beam scale sat at my computer desk using a Arbor press with coffee and sarnies at hand and the occasional surf of the web. It don't get any better than this. The rod you are supposed to use with the mallet its to long to use with the arbor press so I made another one and I am going to modify the case mouth expander as well I will probably make another one but that's no problem now I have got my new lathe up and running. Yippee.

I quite happily sit in my armchair at home watching the T.V decapping brass ready for the tumbler with a lee hand press.
