Cool, watsa flapper? My sizing die is a lyman and the sizer is a lyman 45.
I pan lube for a .45 Colt for my '73 winchester copy, and a .434 that goes thru a 3rd gen .44 spec. with loose throats and tight barrel. Anyway it's tedious and if I could stay away from that for the rest of my .44s i'd be a happy guy. |

A flapper is a dowel with a slot then slide down the strip of sand paper & wrap it around to the size ya need !
