Hi Bill
The older style handles had smaller diameter wood for handles.
If you look ay FS ad you will see that most of the wood on the handles is small diameter, there are one or two sets that...
Does anyone happen to have a priming hook to fit an old #3 tool in 38 ACP?
I'm sure someone on here has a 3D printer, they would be able to make whatever size you wanted. You want to post a WTB ad.
Thanks for the data, I'm currently using the universal handles with the #17 adapter. I'm looking for a dedicated handle for my 38 super.
Hey All
I'm looking for a set of steel handles that fit 38ACP.
Let me know.
Thanks

Yes Sir Mr. Frog - that was the same story floodgate relayed to me about a decade and a half ago about the TPIs that Lyman used on their tools, my assumption was base on the diameter of the threads,...
If you didn't know, the 5/8-30 thread on these Lyman tools isn't actually 5/8 (.625), it's actually .608/.609 diameter just shy of 33/64s. I've made a lot of replacement parts for Lyman tools over...
Hey Mr. Green Frog
Are you still in need of a #9 "J" shell holder?
I'm thinning things down to what I can actually use, not what I collected over the last 40 odd years.
Drop me a line if...
Back when I was rebuilding these, I found and ordered a square "O" ring for the base plug.
If you send me a self addressed stamped envelop I'll send you a few.

Thanks for the tips, hopefully I can get some at a reasonable price.

I haven't seen or had access to any primers (except 209 series) in what seems like forever.
The last time I was able to walk into my LGS and buy SPP / LPP was in mid 2017, since then apparently...
Those are a unicorn, it took me four years to find a set for floodgate.
I've used aircraft grade heat shrink tubing to hold everything together.
I might be able to find some info.
Here are a few discussions I had previously on this press.

I had one of those units a while back - (...
I have the items your talking about, and #13 is correct for all the belted magnums that were derived from the the 375 H&H cartridge.
I use mine for the 338WM
