Springs in DFW

[Mike D]

Does anyone know where to go in DFW to find a good selection of misc springs? I need a shorter or stronger spring like this one. It’s setup on my powder dispenser for my reloading press and it isn’t pulling the drum back down like it should.

I would clean the powder drop tube in the powder die and then call hornady for some replacement springs. I have had good experiences with their CS over the years keeping a pair of LNL presses running. I've loaded over 20k rounds on one of mine and never had any issues with that spring, I would bet you have something hanging up rather than a spring issue.

Westlake Ace Hardware has a bunch of different springs available. Or order online from McMaster Carr.

That looks like a drum brake return spring.

That maybe so. The powder die and actuator is brand new. Just got it off amazon.

My measure drum has always seemed to be a bit stiff so that may be it.

Not sure it’s quite that stout Gary but it may be.

Ace hardware has drawers and drawers of them back with the bulk fasteners.

I 2nd Ace hardware. They always have the small unique items that I don't think I would find anywhere else.

If ace doesn't have it then Elliot's Hardware will.

I’ll check Gibson’s this afternoon.

We've got a decent spring selection at the store if you can't find what you need @ Gibson's
