While setting up the lubrisizer it gave me the opportunity to use this gizmo its a tool for fitting and removing the top nut that holds the die in place so you do not damage the fine thread. It works a treat. I got it of Adam at pukkabundhooks ages ago. Id recommend it.
Unfortunately the bullets sized to .357 not what I wanted. I might just use liquid allox for the rest of them and see how that pans out.

Tea and lubed bullets is all ways a good starting point.

- My wamadet press most of my reloading the is done on this press.

- Another view of the wamadet press.

The cases were sized primed then expanded using a very old expander die that works like the Lyman sizing buttons.
The Lee priming tool is pap they should be banned from flooding the market with there crap.

Next job is powder using a Lee very old hand operated powder measure that actually works.
All weights checked on my calibrated Hornady beam scale.

Finally seating the bullets using a Lee modified reloader die and a arbor press.

And the final product 100 reloaded rounds ready to go and the end of this story as there is obviously no interest in my ramblings.
So I wont be doing any thing similar again.

It has been a good thread with informative pictures Dave and we are yet to hear how the load is doing accuracy wise so why quit now?

Hey Dave, cool it! This has been a most interesting SHOOTING related thread.
