My stuff is mostly Lyman, but have never broken anything in about 15 years of use.

kybeast , then all Colt , Smith and Wesson , Ruger , Remington and Winchester marked ammo must be specialty ammo ?
38 Colt , 38 S&W , 300 winchester mag. 708 remington , 480 Ruger

Those are all major brands... Casull, Herrett, Webley, Schofield, and Linebaugh are not.  Hence the why I said specialty cartridges.  But I WILL say that even the major brands have specialty cartridges too.  Rifle Cartridges are even more worse off than Handgun for the vast variety.

I'm waiting to see the .497 Bubba Magnum!!  ::)

Webley and Schofield were both military rounds.

Most of the common cartridges were wildcats at one point or another.  The .44 mag could just as easily have been the .44 Keith.

Weren't they all mostly  named with somebody's name? Surely the aboved mentioned ones were.

Or should I rephrase that to  "Don't you know that they were all mostly named with someone's name?"

It would seem more to the point to note which were loaded by major ammo producers . and produced in mass manf. guns . 454 casull would not be a specialty .
If ya can see it ya can hit it !
