I use my Mec 600jr to reload BP. A 46 bushing gives about 75grs of power. I have another one cut off to throw 84grs. My charge bar has the inspection hole to see what bushing your using plugged with a wooden dowel so 94grs can be thrown without any bushing. If you don't have a Mec you can make your own tools. In OH's picture, the wooden dowel on the left has a small metal pin sticking out the end under the knob [ that will pull off ]. It's for depriming. In the past before using the Mec I made my own reloading tools. I put a nail in one end of a dowel, and on another dowel the end was recessed with a Dremal tool to reprime. You'll also need a block to put the shell in when you deprime. It's much easier to find a Lee hand set at a gun show or on E-bay, or the old tool set like OH has. Good luck.
