I used it yesterday to lenghten the chamber on my factory .357mag barrel, only took about 10 minutes start to finish after I got all my ducks in a row and thanks to folks on this forum, castboolit forum and the Swaparms forum, I have a good bit of brass to load. I am a Happy Camper!!
Thanks fo rtaking the time to read this, Ronald Woodruff

Hey!  Nobody taught me the handshake.???  Or, maybe... was that it?  I forget... who? 

Maxi is great though... so good I just bought an RD 190gr 2cav GC mold.  Now if only I could remember where I put all that lead.
