***Your Reloading Specialists***
The Titan Crew is celebrating two anniversaries this month. On August 19th 2010 our website www.titanreloading.com went live on the internet.
On September 1st 2016 we opened our new store and showroom in Hartford Wisconsin.
There has been a sudden increased interest in reloading. We are doing our best to keep items in stock. We receive products weekly and we fill orders in the order they are placed. Back-ordering products will reserve them for you.
We are truly enjoying all the friends we have made through Titan Reloading and look forward to many more. Feel free to contact us. When possible, please email us rather than call. Due to our limited phone system and staff we are able to respond to your questions quicker via email. Please include your full name or order ID number with any order inquiries. Service and Support is our top priority. As always, you will find many answers to questions in the “FAQ” and “Help Videos” areas of our website www.titanreloading.com . Check us out on YouTube .

Shellholders are not included with this Ergo Prime.
INSIGHT OF THE MONTH:
Interchangeable Dies
Frequently, dies from one caliber may be used to load other calibers. Due to the locations of crimping shoulders, the operation may only work for dies of the shorter caliber to the longer. You may notice a label depicting the shorter die in your set for the longer version of the cartridge, Lee does this to reduce costs.
As an example, to load .357 Magnum cartridges with .38 dies, the Sizing Die (1st die) setting stays the same as the .38. The Powder Through Expanding Die (2nd die) and the Bullet Seating Die (3rd die) must be backed out approximately 2 turns in the turret. This is the difference in length from the .38 to the .357 Magnum. This setting must be tweeked in as 2 turn is approximate.
Even though some dies are interchangable, in many cases, different shell holders are necessary. You can see a complete list of shellholders under “Case Preparation” then “Shell holders and Calibers”.
45 Colt – 454 Casull *
44 Special – 44 Magnum
38 Special – 357 Magnum
30-30 Winchester – 30 Remington
357 Magnum – 357 Maximum
38 Super – 9mm Largo
44 Russian – 44 Special
40 Smith & Wesson – 10mm – 41 Action Express
32 Smith & Wesson – 32 S&W Long – 32 H&R Magnum **
*The 45 Colt expander die will also work for the 454 Casull by backing the die out approximately two turns to compensate for the difference in case length.
**Lee dies allow the use of .308 bullets in the 32 H&R Magnum. The other bullet diameter commonly used is .311 and that is the expander that comes with the set. To use .308 bullets, it is necessary to purchase an additional expander and turn it down to .308. This can be done using a drill press and emery cloth or if you buy the additional expander from the factory, Lee will do it for $10.00.
