44-100?

RE: 44-100?
Dave.

I have a spring loaded center but I need to reface or replace the point it was damaged before I got the lathe with a bunch of other tooling.
My lathe is the Sheldon R-15 and I just got it running again. I sheared a 1/2 moon key in the lead screw gear box and I had a heck of a time getting the gears back in time Confused it has 900 some different thread pitches.
I made 4 different dies the long one is the full length die on one side and a tighter neck die on the other side. the two small dies are the case base swage dies that will take the base down in two steps from .503 to .499" clear down to the head, (front of the rim)
But I still have a sticking problem extracting the case.
I finally got tired messing around and sent the reamer back and told them to regrind it to match the drawing I sent.
