No shellholder in Die box?????
I knew you would ask that. Only shell holder I have is in 223 set. All my 223 shells got bullets in them. Gotta go empty some bullets Saturday morning so I can put new bullets in the future empty shells. I did consider buying some 223 brass today but I blown enough money as it is. Amazon has boxes headed this way tomorrow and Saturday. Along with 2 trips to Jerry's in the last 2 days. My first round should be about $350 bucks.

Man, my Lee ‘O’ press has cranked out thousands of rifle rounds. Keep the ram lubed with a drop of light oil and it will be smooth as butter for decades.

Ohhh ok. I thought maybe Lee quit including the shell holder in the Die set. Yup you need more shellholders. Lol

Picked up a S&W Model 36 no dash, blued steel, round butt, grips numbered to the frame, circa 1968 revolver today.

This is the cleanest gun of any used one I have bought of this vintage. I brought it home to wipe it down and clean it before I get it to the range this weekend. The dry patches that I ran through the bore and chambers after some Ballistol patches and the bore brush came out just as clean as when they went in. Someone took really nice care of this gun.

There are a very few handling marks from being fifty-plus years old, but not any mechanical wear I can see. Here are some quick pics from the dining room (aka the gun cleaning) table.
