Exactly what I use with a combo of Kroil and JB bore cleaner.

I appreciate the honesty. Will consider your advice. Thank you again.

Thank you for the reply. As far as permanently attaching, I was thinking more of threading the barrel and receiver together. I will look up those individuals.

So Djdillon is no longer working on rifles. I missed out by waiting too long for him to work on my 455 trainer. Who else is out there working on these rifles? I am looking for the same that DJ did where he permanently attaches a new barrel to the receiver and does all the goodies. Please...

I keep telling everyone the same. Save some money and buy more ammo......buy a possum hollow or the Sinclair. The lucas is not 3x better for 3x the price.

Made the mistake once getting the Lucas. For the money, possum hollow has the same tight fit. Paying extra for the machining and holder for your rod, I'd rather get three Possum's for one Lucas. I would just rather spend my money on ammo and glass.

Stop wasting your money and get a possum hollow bore guide. Or get the Sinclair which is the same.

Actually check again, they come in 5/8-24 because I have one :D

Agreed 100%. Or the Possum Hollow ones, which I believe is the same as the Sinclair. You can get both calibers for less than the Lucas.

Tag for later....

Sent you a pm...i need one bad ;)

Quick question.....you mentioned you used a +.010 shell holder and adjusted the FL die till it touched. Ran a piece of brass and it didn't bump the shoulder any. You then swapped out the +.010 shell holder for the +.008 shell holder and were able to bump the shoulder 2 thousands. I'm...

I'm using a Redding T7 with Redding dies. I have some Federal brass to prep as well this weekend. I am hoping the Federal don't give me the same issues the PPU brass did.

midsouth has 175 SMK in stock. I know its a bit smaller than you want, but its something in stock you can get by with.

Yeah, I did run the brass pretty quick through the die with a normal amount of lube. I will try your recommendation. Thanks.
