Back in the late 70's the AMT .22 Backup was a true jamamatic.

Don't mind getting busted like that. I didn't do the math but thought maybe anything over 150 grs would exceed the 65 lb weight limit. Maybe you just cut the quantity back a little? Thanks for the tip!

I wish they could bundle the 158 gr bullets. Have you tried the lighter bullets?

I have loaded and shot 3k PPC#2's with BE mostly in .38 Sp cases. I recently bought another old Trooper .357 that I learned while I had it in the Ransom Rest doesn't like that round so I started experimenting. I mainly shoot steel plates at about 100'. I am wanting to load more in the .357...

Curious who made the stocks and where to get some like them?

All the bores were clean with no leading before and no leading after. Leading had been my problem so I pay close attention to it. The 4" DB being almost equal to the 2 8" guns surprises me. The 6" OMS being the slowest? I have always wandered about the bore in my OMS. I can tell this gun...

MBC PPC#2 148 gr DEWC in .38 Sp cases and 2.8 grs Bullseye. 8" Python avg 740 FPS 8 3/8" S&W Mod 27-2 avg 725 FPS 4" Diamondback avg 730 FPS 6" Officers Model Special avg 690 FPS Makes no sense to me. What actually causes...

Leading? That was my next question! I had not considered that I might be resizing the bullet too small, I was only interested in removing the bulge so they would chamber so I removed the decapper and resized the bulged ones. Of course once I figured out that it was mainly the PMC brass...

Same length, I just measured a few again. Very little crimp to start with but I tried backing it completely off. I tried seating some not as deep, same result every time. The PMC brass does it every time and a few other odd ball head stamps that I don't recognize also had a bulge but not...

I believe you but I have to ask what is different? Does the wall thickness increase? Other than this problem is the PMC brass ok? Thanks

I had loaded several hundred 148gr DEWC's in .38sp mixed brass before I noticed some had a bulge in the case about where the bottom of the bullet is when seated almost flush. The bulge is bad enough they will not chamber. Some were fine? Then I noticed that about 98% of the bulged cases were...

Just as I thought, when I figured it out it would be simple. I mounted the small primer slide and it was misaligned just like the large one?? So I get a better light and start looking again and discover that the Spent Primer Catcher Chute is touching the slide as the platform comes down and...

I haven't had much time to mess with it but I did take it all apart, cleaned everything with alcohol, measured the height of the cup and put it back together. No spent primers or anything found. Still about 1/4 the diameter of a primer out of alignment to the left? With the 2 bolts loose and...

Late last night I was loading some .45 acp's and getting along fine when all of the sudden the primer cup/ram was not aligned right to fit the hole in the platform. It was about 1/4 the diameter off of center. I could find no reason for the change. I remover the cup and ram, inspected and...

If you can buy a new S&W Mod 63 for $500 you better do it. I have seen them bring a lot more. I bought mine new in the 70's and have put a lot of rds thru it and it still has a special place with me. I have Diamondbacks that it would be hard not to like but if I had to pick a favorite DA...

I like the ideas. I may buy a complete 2nd set some day but I think I will try doing without first. Thanks

Ok, I have had the 550 for a while now and have loaded several thousand rds, mostly .45 acp and .38 sp. I have what I think they call the deluxe caliber conversion kit and the Dillon .38 dies. Yesterday I decided to load some .357's and I find it to be a pain changing from .38 to .357 and...

550B ordered the other day from Dillon. Should be here early next week. I did order a deluxe caliber conversion kit and a spare parts kit. Thanks to all for the input.

I am having trouble pulling the trigger and ordering anything! The accessories for the Dillon are high. Strong mount, roller handle, trays, etc. It adds up. I may want to load a couple hundred .357's one day and 4-500 .45 acp's a few days later. Maybe none the next week. I can't see...

Spray the rag, wipe the gun? Now why didn't I think of that?? Seems like I have always used the spray tube to both clean and blast the crud out of the nooks and crannies. It gets everywhere and requires the gun to be stripped to only what the brake cleaner won't harm. For the powder...
