The gun you are using may make a difference. Old trapdoor Springfields have a chamber-bore-groove condition that begs for soft bullets and a quick powder to upset the bullet to fit the groove. ...
Carbide dies in Luger and .30 Carbine really should be lightly lubed. The case taper keeps them from working like straight walled cases, and they bind.
Tapered cases are accommodated in the carbide...
I really must try to get down under. There is so much to learn from that invert perspective.

It appears that there are two shell-Savers, one from Lachmiller and one from...
Thank you for the hospitable welcome. Both Oklahoma and Australia are well known for that.
There does not seem to be much data on the.38-72. My _Pet Loads_ is loaned out so I can't look there, but...

Cartridges of the World has four loads listed.
