    Lee Customer service.

    I broke the tray for my Bench Prime (my fault, I dropped a manual on the tray when it was in the tool and broke off the mounting tabs) and looked for a replacement on Lee's website. I couldn't find it so I emailed Lee for help (approx. 7:55 am my time). I got a quick reply from Lee with part...

    Designed bullet/cartridge.

    I'm working on a project, mostly for my own information and I'd like to find a source of information on what bullet weight specific cartridges were designed with. I know the original 45 ACP was a 200 gr RN, and this is what I'd like to find out about with other cartridges; 308 Win., .44 Mag...

    Not neck tension

    Not wanting to hijack the "Neck Tension" thread, I'll simplify for my question; What would be a good difference between case neck ID and bullet OD on a .270 Winchester and a 30-06 Springfield. .002"? .004"? The thread on neck tension got way off into theory and referenced links to sizing...

    Cartridge origin?

    This is a "wha's dis?" post :p I picked up some cases at the "range" last week and wondering what it is. The headstamp states "30-06 Springfield" and "MFS" in English then three other digits, not English. The cartridge has an indented "belt" near the case head, approx. .1" wide, which does not...
