lyman tru line jr

has anybody bored out the die holes and had them re tapped for 7/8X14 ?
is there enough material there ?
i like the luxury of powder through expanding die that i can't get with the stock 310 dies.

There was a guy on ebay selling turrets bored out for 7/8 x 14 for the Tru Line Jr.

They may still be there. They ain't cheap.

He still sells the new tool heads, I picked one up last year. No, they are not cheap. They make the little press a very productive addition to the bench in my opinion.

If you decide go that route send me a pm, I have the contact information for the gentleman that produces them. He will sell them direct cheaper than e-bay.

A Lyman Tru-Line Jr. was my very first press MANY years ago. A nice press for handguns and neck sizing rifle cases, but I don't know if I'd trust it to do a lot of full length sizing of rifle cartridges. I feel it would loosen up pretty quickly. Personally, if I felt I had to go with the bigger dies for some reason I'd match them with a bigger press. JMHO.

yooperi do .38 special.
the bigger dies just give me the luxury of powder delivery through the expander that the old 310 style does not offer.

I only use mine for my .32 Magnum and .45 Cowboy Special Brass (my 1858 Remington Kirst Konversion). In short I would say pistol cartridges only with the 7/8x14 head!!!
