Picked up a 629-2 6" stainless with the un-fluted cylinder. I'd say 98%. Guy said he'd like to get $350 out of it. I didn't haggle...

Haven't been able to find any at my regular places. Midway, Graf & Sons and Nantchez. Dealer friend of mine had 10K come in. Me and another friend split them, 5K ea @ $150. $30 per K for Federal LMP.

This is one of the reasons I am so glad I reload. First and foremost is the joy of the hobby and custom loads I can tailor to each application, not to mention we shoot as much as we want and don't even think about it. Other than the case of 7.62 I bought a while back, I can't remember the last...

Started casting .375 and .440 rb in the mid 70's. It's how we fed our hobby, Dad and me. Tap a cap came in and I could make percussion caps from drink cans and roll caps, Goex is all we needed. I still use Goex only, and have never used that "other" stuff. The old Lee loader w/ mallet introduced...

Toss the powder in your garden and start from fresh. Always better to be safe than sorry (and injured).

I can't even begin to imagine how many times that press has been cycled in the last 25+ years. Never had an issue.

Mine is a local tire dealer that I get a #100 bucket every other month. I gladly give him $40 and a box of the good specialty doughnuts for his crew. USSR those are fine looking HP's. I do .44 HP's. I also like my soft lead point with harder base boolits. Time consuming but hey, what else am...

Mine is a new model. It's an EDC with a OWB crossdraw, I wear a leather vest near year around. I reload all mine, and range time is with 180 or 200 grain @ about 850 fps. Carry loads are Hornady 240 XTPs also at about 850. Can shoot range loads all day if I want, but the 240's have a bite to...

No question on mine. My Dad bought an early Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag (It's on a Super Blackhawk frame). At about 13 or 14 years old, Me and my 2 brothers had it sent off to Magnaport for Christmas to try and tame that thing some. I am 49 now. My Dad passed Christmas day in '09. I got the Ruger. I...

My Son lives in Washington state. He recently bought an XD in .45 GAP due to a very good price. Trying to find any ammo right now is hard, but .45 Gap??? I ordered 500 pieces of brass and loaded them for him. USPS said no way, but directed me to UPS. No problems at UPS. The guy did ask what was...

I haven't paid any crazy prices...yet. My dealer friend scored 10K Federal LP mag primers for $300 otd. I split them with my neighbor. I also have 8# of Bullseye and 8# of 2400 (I tried to get Unique) on order from Graf & Sons. Regular pricing. They were in stock but about a month behind on...

I ordered 8# of Bullseye and 2400 from Graf & sons 2 weeks ago. Said they were in stock but their shipping dept was 3 weeks behind. I'm gonna call them tomorrow to find out the status.

Mine is a reliable steady supply from 1 tire shop. I quit doing the junk yard stuff a while back. For the manager of the shop, I reload heavy custom 30-30 rounds at cost, and I gladly give him $40 per overflowing bucket. I throw in a box of good doughnuts for his crew each time. Pick up about...

You've been bit. I talked about my "first Colt" long ago, 11 Colts ago. Congrats on the buy, you'll enjoy it.

.357 Model 92 Rossi, to go with my .357 pistols. Have the .44 to go with the .44s.
