I usually just deep six my SS revolvers in a sonic cleaner, half & half CLR to water. When done, I put in a tub with WD 40, wipe them down. Spotless.

I guess that is why I asked, not sure. +P brass is supposedly stouter.

I was more concerned with the brass handling it than my firearms.

Hornady manual says up to 8.4gr of AA #5, OAL of 1.445" with a 110 XTP. Quickload says this is way over pressure, and nowhere do I see any 110gr bullet handling 8.4 gr of #5. I have 150 or so loaded with 8.2-8.3 gr, in Starline reg 38 spec, QL says 19,400psi. My guns are a Henry Big Boy steel...

With jacketed or lead bullets, seating and crimping together works fine. If you use plated bullets, seperate steps are necessary.

I actually bought the Berger manual, and can honestly say other than the Speer manual I recieved in a kit, it is the biggest dissapointment. I understand today's legal ramifications, but it's way on the conservitive side.

For a lot of 100 bullets I'd say it's ok. Buying bulk is the only way to go. Not trying to correct you but prices were stable till Dec 14th, even though they've came up considerably since 97.

My chest and head are expanding rapidly from the thought of maybe being right.:)

That's funny, my 8mm fits like a glove, never looked into it further, thanks.

The size is 8mm, proto makes 3/8" sockets with 8mm hex heads, not sure if you can but it seperate or not. If not, if you want to use a socket with extension, you can buy a metric set of wrenches, cut the end off and epoxy it in the correct size socket.

If you are picking up my brass on the range, I'd beware, I didn't pick it up for a reason. Unless you see someome dumping ammo out of factory new boxes, picking up range brass doesn't seem like a safe practice.

Give Chuck McIntosh of Mac's Gunworks, Gillette Wy. He does great quality work, very knowledgeable, and is reasonable. I'll warn you, he will try talk you into a 7mm RSAUM, but it is a 1000 yrd boomer. 307-685-3373 shop 307-689-2796 cell He's built a couple guns for me, both shoot under...

JC, Lead should feed into the chamber easier than a jacketed bullet. I'd say it is your crimp. You need a taper crimp die, which you sould have, but your neck diameter needs to be ".471" or less to feed. Measure the loaded round where the bullet meets the brass for this measurement. If this...

Xr1200 :)You should stop in. I've learned more in the last eight months shooting with guys like Ernie, Big Mac, One eyed Ronnie, He will humble you;:neener::neener::neener:. Yes I've shot for 30 years plus, but these guys taught me a whole new disipline. Chuck, Big Mac, can shoot, Ernie...

Ernie Yes, I'll bet you'll do. Coupled with Big Mac and I, we'll get the job done. Milo
