Bought a Lyman Spartan back when I was about 15 or so, when I got tired of loading with a 310 tool. It's still the only press I own.

[Texas Lawdog]

The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking. enjoy!

Heh, heh......

Reckon we know where a few of the one's left are.

The rails are date stamped 1907.

What weight? What foundry? Still jointed?



Foggy here this morning - ending my work week. I got plenty of yard work to keep busy with the next couple days.

One serves brisket on banana peels, of course. And with fish sticks for surf 'n turf.

Can you prepare it in 30 minutes "chopped"

[litl rooster]

Bought a Lyman junior used couple 3 years ago. It was perfect for single staging or depriming cases. Thought i use it just for de-bulging .40cal brass only. I'd buy another if the price was right.

I will see if i can get a picture of it. However i have a simple Lee Shot shell reloader i would like to find another of. I loaded more shells on it than i did my Mec.

Sometimes simple is better.


Thinking of buying a concrete mixer at harbor freight for tumbling brass. Under $150. It will double to knock the hulls off of pecans.

Chopped? With my addiction ta crocks? Uhhh, no...... I can hear Ted Allen, 'Che...... Uhhh... Wannabe, Arcey. You've been Chopped!'

Still got the ancient Lyman All American on the bench long side the Rock Chucker. Lyman Accumeasure mounts in the expander die. Expand, dump a charge, set a bullet, seat it on the RCBS. At one time I had three. Put a Lee FC die in the third. I get ta shootin' more 'n doin' more work in the barn might set it up again.

Congrats, SB! Winner of Frontier Cartridge it Range War.

I got and use a RCBS jr, bought it used in maybe 81, handle broke about 97. called them no handle anymore, mine was an early model, so they sent new style ram, linkage and handle, free, 2nd day UPS.   

Got an old Bair, the same as the Pacific except made in Lincoln instead of GI.

[Delmonico]

They say you can't go back, well I did last night, went to The Zoo, ain't been in there for 19 years, went to a CD release party for a friend, went to a Memorial Benefit for him last night to cover funeral expenses.

Favorite bar of my younger days, always had good music, saw a lot of bands their, used to go hear Sean there, back before he was a friend.  At another time, when our lives were not as busy, Sean and several friends would show up, people would bring different things and we'd have a dinner party in my trailer, then go hit the 10 pm AA meeting.  Had some good Jam sessions in that old trailer 20 years ago.   

Paid my cover, listened to a couple bands, saw some old friends, left, perhaps for the last time, place hasn't changed look at all but with Sean gone and Larry the founder gone, it will never be the same place, I wish Larry's son well though, looks like he's doing a good job keeping up his Dad's legacy, still the only real adult bar in downtown, rest are geared to college kids.

[Delmonico]

Off to work, hope it's not full of people who know little and pretend like they know a lot, just don't always do well with that type.

[litl rooster]

I said earlier it was a lyman junior it in fact is a rcbs junior. The shot shell loader below i paid like 10 bucks for i'd pay 20 for another or even in 20 gauge.

[Major E A Sterner]

LR,I had one of those maybe 10 years ago, gave it to a pard so he could load BP shells for CAS.

[Arcey]

Hell, Del. Ya didn't have ignorant people ta aggravate ya, ya wouldn't have much fun, now would ya?

N'er seen customer service to match that provided by the various reloadin' folks. Been very satisfied with RCBS, Lyman 'n Lee. Don't have any Dillon stuff but from what I've heard from them who do they're the same way.

Loaded shells, when I was usin' shot guns, on the Rock Chucker. Since I ain't shootin' 'em now I suppose I could take the RC down for an open faced C press. Stickin' point is I ain't gotta spent primer catcher for either of the Cs I have. Could say I'd sweep 'em up when I was done but I know me – wouldn't. They'd be ankle deep in no time.

[Texas Lawdog]

Victoria and I had chili dogs from Sonic for lunch. No clue for supper tonight, the temps are moderate today.

[Major 2]

Won a RCBS scale on Ebay for $31.83 including USPS- LNIB , beats the $74.99 + shipping for Midway.

I did buy new Dies though, still need some ....and somewhere, somehow misplaced my 45 Colt Dies    

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim, maybe they'll pull the tracks up like Norfolk did 'n use the ROW for a groovy cool rail bus that connects a suburban 7-11 to downtown. Pulled the scheme off with onna never used Norfolk 'n Southern ROW. Hemoragin' money but the tax payers got plenty o' that.

The closest suburban area is 43 miles away. They will probably let the rail rust and ties rot away.

What weight? What foundry? Still jointed?

Not sure of the weight. An Illinois foundry. Yes.

I load my pistol shells on a Herter's turret press I bought for $25 about 10 years ago.

[Texas Lawdog]

Moose is fixing Chicken Fajitas and Cheese nachos for supper.

[Arcey]

Twix the 'leaders' in Norfolk 'n duh beach they could fix that, Slim.

Ennyways..........

Gotta set of .45 Colt with the lot I bought from the ole boy with the Pacific C press. Sold 'em 'n a measure I didn't want. More'n covered  what I paid him 'n 'Tooth got his old press back. Don't remember what I had out the deal after the tradin' 'n sellin' 'n givin' away.

She snatched a rotisserie chicken from HT. I tore it up. The bird's extremities went on my plate. Hope there's 'nuff left for somethin' I wanna try with smoked sausage.

Done her up a baked batch of steak fries tossed in olive oil. Dumped a chunked up, fist sized red 'tater in the tiny red one after lunch for me. Nuked up some the snaps I done in 'er yestitty. Reckon she thought she'd be back in 'er box by now.

Feelin' the sleepies comin'.

[litl rooster]

Was thinking something with chicken and smoked sausage and maybe some black beans


Major i think i have loaded a thousand shotshells on it. Both black powder and the heathen smokeless types too. Loaded 00 and hunting loads also. 

[Texas Lawdog]

I got up for a plumbing check, and I can't go back to sleep. Victoria decided that she needed some late night patrol duty in the back yard. She takes her patrol duty quite serious.

[Major 2]

4:AM like clock work, time to wring it out    course I did drink 3 glasses of ice tea last night 

Jake also like to read every scent on the rounds (Sentry Duty !    )
Rabbits , squirrels , stray cay maybe, though our cat tends to take them off the place.
Drove him nuts when the wild pigs were roaming.

I'll put pot on, for the late risers.
