Kurt the taper crimp dies I ordered came in the mail yesterday. Glad they were not fragile the US Postal turds really slaughtered the box. bob

What are you doing with those Bob? Thought you didn't need to resize and all that other nasty business..

Bob I got even with USPS for you 
I just took delivery of 150 pounds of lead and some tin from John. You should have heard my mail Lady when she came up to the house I need to talk to CH-4-D to make me a custom taper crimp die for my standard chambered .44-77 to hold a PP bullet properly also.
I have a bushing die for it but the bushing die is not the best to use for this job. My lathe is down or I would make a proper bushing design for the Meacham die body that has a taper to it so the case mouth don't look like a eccentric bottle neck case

Kurt, my 45-2 7/8's has a Orville chamber and I don't need any case manipulation with them. It's Shiloh's greaser chamber's that mandate neck sizing period.
