"I was trained that daggers are for killing. No sportsman needs a dagger."
This is the type of thinking some folks have about certain guns......Wassup with that!
Daggers have their place and are wondrous works of art when crafted by a good maker.
You only need the washer if you plan on loading BOTH ...38 and 357. You set the dies up
for 38 then use the washer for 357 loads.
Just set the dies for .357 and you are done.
I ask to handle the firearms on tables first, most are happy to let me fondle their wares.
I've seen plenty of dropped, dinged, and scuffed guns at shows to realize why some are
so defensive about letting folks touch their stuff.
Fast burning powder do not make the best "full house" magnum loads. IME, fast powders
that drive bullets really fast (Like magnum handgun loads) will erode the forcing cones on
revolvers a lot faster than a slower powder.
The Desert Eagle will not like them and you may have some excessive...
To reload for the Desert Eagle, one must load to the upper spectrum of power range and
not use bullets lighter than 240grs. H-110 worked best for me, as you want the cleanest
burning powder possible so no unburned powder is left to gum up the chamber. The Eagle
has a tight chamber for the gas...
I didn't think much about breaking in firearms, until I purchased a Colt 1911.
That sucker would not behave until I ran about 200rds through it. To this day, it has
been the only firearm to need this break-in period.
FWIW, the Old Salt that sold me the gun new, told me not to expect perfection...
This is why the old books harp about sizing and trimming new brass. I've had Federal
brass like that as well. I think because they know it's going to be reloaded they must
skip the final step of squaring the case.
Sucks, but it must be dealt with.
In all my years of throwing lead downrange I have never been fond of anything plastic
being around flame or heat when I'm shooting. I don't want to be breathing the by-products.
Remember the warnings about Teflon pans when they get scratched or over heated??
Bad JuJu, IMO
