Who's got them for sale in Canada? The high speed steel Lyman I got from Wholesale is on it's last legs after what I consider a very short life. No brand preference I guess but I wouldn't mind keeping it under 30$ shipped.
 
Hey neighbor, I have a Lyman with low miles yet and was curious as to what happened to yours. Is it just so dull it won't cut anymore? This suggestion doesn't really fit your criteria but as my cheapy stuff wears out i'm gonna replace it with stuff from Sinclair
 
LFL - MMMMM Centennial Special with extra sauce. No, the Lyman cutter seems to load or cake up with brass without removing much from the case and you can make out the "smears" in the brass in the pocket. The edges on the cutter itself just aren't sharp anymore I guess. I'm only dissapointed in it because I remember how well it worked brand new and I've only used it to prep new brass - no more than 1000 pieces. I keep reading how the carbide ones are good to use as uniformers at the start and you can keep using them to clean out dirty pockets after. I just wish I could find some up here.

I am considering ordering from Sinclairs but I just received an order from Midsouth and the shipping on one Lyman H&I sizer and top punch was 17.00 USD and that's on top of the "international surcharge". They use the same shipping method as Sinclair so I can only assume the 20$ cutter is going to end up costing 50$ by the time it gets here.

Thanks to both of you though. Nobody said this was a cheap hobby!
 
I jsut made a $500.00 order from sinclairs shipping was $54.00 plus GST/PST when it hit the border. Make sure you specify USPS I made the mistake of using UPS from them once, ouch.
 
Duck Hunter - If I could count on the shipping amount to be 10% of the total I would be next in line but I got a quote from them today and it was going to be in the 15$ range for a 20$ item. I'm probably going to hold off and wait for a larger order to make it worth while, especially if I have no further luck.

LFL - Yes to Dean's - too many times in fact. Thats not your target pinned up on the (north) wall is it?
 
I know it sounds impossible, but I seem to have lost my sinclair uniformer. :confused:
I've ordered up a new one from this place:

I got the 'whitetail' one. I'll let you know how long it takes and what it's like.
 
I do not shoot there myself but I know quite a few guys that do. One of my buddies was there shooting with a guy, presumably you, from Winchester that reloaded and was really into shooting. I figured since your a Gun Nut from Winchester it may be you.
 
LFL - As long as he said I was cool, relatively good looking or at least as much as any other guy should take notice of another and a really good shot, then yes it was me :p - otherwise I couldn't say.

BC G - That would do the trick. If shipping is reasonable I may just call them . Thanks.
