Here's my model 851 Rossi in 38 special, I love this gun, its pleasant to shoot, and once I got it sighted in for me its been pretty accurate, this photo was taken the first time I shot it, and was sighting it in. The groups are much better now.

Thanks guys, I have two of the Redding balance beams, one was my dads, the other I picked up at a gunshow for $10.00, I use them together to check if there accurate. Which they are so I trust them, its just that I never used them with oil. I recently picked up an Ohaus magetic, which is fast...

Hi, I have a Redding balance beam scale that was new in the 60s. Was my dads, and I've been using it for years, however my dad or myself have never used any oil for the dampener, so its a little slow waiting for it to balance. My ? is can I use any kind of oil in the dampener pot, or just a...

A couple of weeks ago I paid $32.00 for a lb. of win296 from Gander Mtn. But that included tax:cuss::cuss::cuss:

Here's my Rossi 851, I really like it, shoots great ,and not one problem to date, the picture shows the first day I took it to the range. I've since worked up a better load and groups are much tighter, but still not bad for 20 yds.

Thanks walkalong, yes it does help, I know not to try an RCBS. Thanks for taking the time to measure.

Nujudge, I measured them and the shaft is 3/16", doing some research last night on differant websites, I think I can get whatever fits in Hornady, forester, or redding. I maybe wrong so I'll only order one and see if it fits. I guess no one uses a Pacific trimmer anymore, but this one works...

Hi, Was at a local gun show today and got a great deal on a Pacific case trimmer. There is a 30 cal. and .224 cal pilot that came with it. But I need to order some others, was wondering if the Hornady pilots would work. I believe Hornady took over Pacific tool co. Was looking thru Midways web...

here's mine;

I would get the trickler also, really helps to make good safe loads, set your powder measure to dump a charge just shy of your goal, then trickle in the rest. You know then, that every round is the same and no double charges. I have no problems with Lee equipment, I use both Rcbs, and Lee dies...

I would take the die out of the press , put a bullet in the holder, run it up all the way, clamp a pair of vice grips to the bullet, then lower the ram. You will ruin the bullet, but save the case , powder, and primer. beats chucking the whole thing out, a collet type puller would be better, but...
