okay well im looking at the lee carbide dies and the 3 set has the bullet seater which would remove the bell wouldnt it?
(Snipped) I remember loading back in the 70's and a lot of the experienced shooters actually laughed at guys cleaning brass. Those lead bullets with the old bees wax lube would turn the cases almost black, and we kept shooting them anyway. Some of the top guys would shoot one hole 25 yard groups with those scorched cases, and the old revolvers and 1911's just kept running.
i have a reloading manual on order with my lee pro auto disk measure so ill have one then. im just looking into some reliable powders and primers. i think ill try the wolf primers because its 20 for a thousand compared to 35. but ill look into the winchester 231 powder
