Bellet seating....


Recommended Posts

 

My RCBS seating dies use the same seating stem for .44 Special, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt, so I keep the seating stems separate in a wooden box.  (I have this affinity for wooden boxes)

My die is already set for crimping, so in order to get the correct seating depth, I made up some inert rounds:

I then run the correct dummy round up into the die, then insert the seating stem until it contacts the bullet nose.

 

And, just for a newbie to show off, my shell holder box:

That is a really nice way to store them. Mine just sit on the bench and roll around. Did you make the boxes or repurpose them?

 

I usually buy them at the cigar store or craft stores.  I ferret out boxes at antique malls and second hand stores.  I have made some boxes, though.

Nice pics. The wooden boxes, dummy rounds and bench top have a nostalgic affect on me.  I neglected the single stage press a lot the past year.

Trying to figure out what's in the dummy round box. Thank I got it and there is no 45 LC is not in there, correct?

Checked my posted photo, and you're right, no .45 Colt  in the photo.  those shown are the .45 Xtra Short, .357 Magnum, two .44 Magnums, .44 Special and a .38 Special.  Have since rearranged them and rest assured, there is a .45 Colt round there now.
