Carbide sizing dies
« on: January 25, 2021, 03:15:31 PM »
I have been using .38 and .44 Carbide sizing  dies for about 40 plus years. Tonight while I was sizing some .38 special cases I thought, I would like to shake that fellows hand that came up with the idea.  Also the Lee hand primer is on that same list.

I use both carbide dies and
the Lee primer both.
Great tools to have at hand.

Most of the great shooting
inventions were brought about
by shooters.

I don't think I've primed any other way than Lee AutoPrime in at least 30-40 years. I got one when I first heard of them and haven't done it any other way since. For sure I use carbide dies for all straight wall rounds.

I would also like to thank the multiple geniuses that collectively invented progressive presses with a "lazy Suzan" that turns horizontally, levers, rods, and bars that simultaneously rise vertically, through which components are delivered to fixed position dies and powder measure dispensing a calibrated and repetitively consistent product with each pull of the handle.  I know that there are much more difficult inventions, the color laser printer for instance, an automatic transmission, or digital photography, but I am not so consciously satisfied in those as I am in churning out consistent "pills" for use in my handguns or certain rifles with an ease of automation that reduces the toil and tedium of our hobby.  Sorry for the thread drift...
