I've been bothered by the little bit of deflection in these turrupt presses for decades. From my very first Spartan T to my turret, to my turret II, to my MAG T, to this American eight reloading press. Each one except for the Spartan T has been sold off largely because of this flex or deflection in the turret head. This one has probably been one of the best in this regard, it's pretty minimal but it's there and all although I don't consider myself an OCD person it's always bothered me. I thought about shipping it actually did shim in the back and was able to remove all of the deflection. But it was a hassle you had to put the shim in every time any time you turn the turn you had to pull it back out and put it back in it was a Band-Aid at best. And I frankly almost stopped using the press because of it . In speaking with a friend of mine he was going to make me up some shims and I'm sure that would've worked but in thinking last night I realize that I could do exactly what I'm gonna show you here in this video. So I hope this helps someone it was pretty easy to do and I'm extremely satisfied with the results.

Two awesome working Molds classic Lyman Spitzer and round nose

Awesome Keith designed mold

Classic favorite. Born about 1937 and introduced by Winchester in the Model 65 lever rifle. Great short range varminter! Shares cases with the 25 & 32/20 cartridges.

This is my second for 29 to 44 mold and the second one that I've had small gas check shanks on. Not sure if I've got a batch of bad molds or if that's what they did with these. I know Sage used to make a small gas check 44 but I don't see it listed anymore so I'm gonna have to search and see if I can find some proper gas checks

Here's a few really heavy 4570 boolits and lyman Molds that made them. 500+ grains for one and almost 500 for the other something you don't see much anymore, I hope you enjoy it

I've been waiting for this mold for a long time. Trying to buy it for almost 8 years. Missed a couple of auctions missed a couple of forums sales and I even was able to find some from a retailer and I bought some. I really like the way they work in the black out and my 32/20.

A really cool old mold designed before copper gas checks for really a popular thing. A man named Jim Harvey back in the 40s combined with ideal bullet molds created a whole series of molds utilizing a zinc base to the bullet to combat leading.

Frankfort Arsenal UNIVERSAL seater die. Some resemblance to a MATCH seater die & produces a good result but not the same.

This will show you how to vent the top of a bullet mold for better base fill out

Just a quick cast of the mold we just modified the base venting on. It was a success!

All steps in making a cast bullet ready to shoot!

Finished the stock. Loaded up som ammo & made some noise!!

This is how I was taught and how I have always done it. Yes you can spend allot more a d buy machines. But Im hear to tell you its easy dosen't take expensive equipment nor does it take very long. Biggst argument FOR a machine is volume. If you have large volumes of cases needed. Your likely going to be better iff with a machine.

Yes I lost adjustability. But once this is set there is little if any need to adjust it.

The only reloading die sets that I I've had problems with, I've been Lee. Know that, I have close to 70 sets of dies. I have been reloading since 1976. I have exactly seven of them that are Lee. Of those, five of them are Colette neck sizing days. Two of them are a regular standard die sets. One is this set and the other a 300k I also refuse to use. Watch and see...

How I load 2 ball Buck shot 410 loads on 2.5" AA cases with my Cast .390 hard balls and Lil Gun powder. These have Chronographed near 1700 fps for me. This is a substantial 410 load! Patterns inside 6"/7" @ 50 yards.

Using a LEE 4hole Turret. Its almost completely the same for any press. But this one seems real popular.

This is a Browning 92 Grade II wood. It was in rough shape from being in a house that had a fire. Just gorgeous wood grain!!

This was a 6mm Rem rifle set. But its set up will carry for most all rifle die setups you might need to do. There are different things for a pistol set. If ya want that I can do that video as well.

Just a afternoon on the bench.

You can use a std shell holder!!!
