    With the ring around it it looks like an earlier Redding. Have you calculated your bushing required? Measure neck wall thickness (not always that accurate using a vernier) multiply by 2, add .264,...

    What is the outer diameter of length of the bushing in the photo? According to Mr google Hornady bushing dies will take Redding or Wilson bushings.

    Back in my BP days many many moons ago I seriously lusted after a PH Volunteer or a PH Whitworth. I couldn't afford either at the time. Over time though I did end up with an 1858 and an 1861. The...

    Not alignment but I used to check the strap tightness on mine for the first 3 or 4 shots. This after having mine come loose after maybe 10 shots. At least it drooped down and wasn't at risk of a hit.
