This sounds like a different problem, but it should be noted that the first SP-101's had shorter cylinders and were labeled "125gr only ". Just in case any owners of those are reading along.

You are probably right about that, I don't know. I prime cases with the handheld Lee AutoPrime (the old round one, not the piece of crap new one with the diamond shape). I prefer a hand-primer because I can get a better 'feel' of the primer being seated in the pocket; that, and a press ram...

I second the posts that recommend getting a bench-mount press if you're going to do any volume at all AND if you're hoping to enjoy reloading. I've used Lee Loaders before, and they work, and it's neat to be able to load right out at the range, but they're not ideal by a long shot. A step...

Be veeeeery careful adding anything to the case which reduces capacity. I get why you're considering this, the tiny amount of fast powder in the .38/.357 has long fueled debate about ignition variability and powder position within the case. By adding anything to the case interior, you are...

Before the "how much will you shoot" factor, the key decision to whether to reload or not is: 1. Do you enjoy it, i.e. would it be worth your time? Even at minimum wage, if you took time off work to reload there is NO WAY it would be cheaper than buying factory ammo. So, if it is a grueling...

Not many folks, but a few come to mind. The Marlin Camp Carbine was a sweetie, came in .45 and 9mm. The .45 used 1911 magazines, and I think the 9mm used S&W M59 mags. As far as custom jobbies, I've seen a couple very short action .45 ACP bolt rifles, they were built up as brush/scout guns, and...

Sounds like fun! I'd head out today, but it's -8°F here right now. :eek:

Got in too late for the poll, but probably a 12ga pump shotgun (Rem 870) and a .22 handgun (either a Ruger MkII or a S&W revolver).

Sometimes, if I really have to. (Federal Buildings, Post Office, etc) My solution: A steel cable wraps around the seat mount pillar. I throw an old sweatshirt over it, doesn't appear to be anything if you peek in the back windows. -K

I like money as much as the next guy, but I would destroy or donate to a gunsmithing school any non-functioning firearm loooooong before I would give the anti's the pleasure of adding one of my guns to their list of "evil guns off the street". No way am I gonna give them any 'ammo', sorry...

Everytime I read about one of these "buybacks":barf: :banghead: :cuss: I wonder if it would be legal to go down there with about $300 and eyeball the goods as the sheeple arrive? I mean, for all the Lorcins and Brycos there has to be a 1911 or S&W or CZ every once in awhile, maybe? You'd...

I guess one possible indicator could be someone NOT reacting in a way that is normal or expected given the circumstances. Um, that sounded obvious, let me try to explain. I was working at a pizza place and this one driver was getting talked to, again, about his temper. Seems that he...

I'm in really late on this thread, but oh well. I think that the .223 rifle could stop a charging grizzly... IF it is an AR/M-16 equipped with the grenade launcher! ;) -Kframe

I took my AR into the shop once for a bit of minor work, and another customer was infront of me in line and had a Citori, an Abolt and an Auto5 out on the counter. As he finished up I stepped up and took the AR out of the case. The other customer took a look at the AR, then at me, and said...
