Mine don't seem to open up enough to avoid mangling the wad. I'm trying to avoid manual hull insertion, it's become one of my pet peeves. It's not so bad on my 600, which is where I load my RGLs, bu ... |

I have some paper hulls that might also get the hot iron treatment based on your replies, but I’m still working on other loads. I can say so far the RGLs I have treated performed well with one reload ... |

LOL…6 bids…I hope at least one of them intends to restore it.
However, if I lived in an area that would merit it, and considering I only load 16, it might do as a home defense gun, cracked barrel b ... |

I’ll be giving it a try at some point, but I really did like Universal for some loads. For now I’m playing with Perfect Pattern, and I have Longshot for the heavier loads. I still have some Unique f ... |

If you need it right now, Box cutter and a vise or clamp…safer…put shell in vise and cut away the crimp.

Well, I suppose I should be thankful that the warnings are there. It would be a sad day if they stopped supplying lead because Bubba won a lawsuit.
