Does anyone know if RCBS sells the powder die portion of the case drop system separately? I'd like to acquire a few extras and set them up to be caliber specific with lock rings, make caliber changes that much quicker. Hornady offers the lower for their unit for separate sale but I can't seem to...

I had a S&W 627 cut for moonclips. The clips were cool, but for me there was too much wiggle to the clipped rounds compared to a moonclip for a S&W 625. I have a 686 SSR now and am considering having it cut for moonclips. But, I would like to hear from those with experience, are the 6 shot 357...

I've seen alot of favorable reviews here of the 20/40 corn cob media for sale by Drillspot.com, so I picked up a bag. I've used it several times now, and I am really not impressed by it. It cleans, but it doesn't shine my brass like regular 1/8" corn cob does. This is even when I add in a dolop...

I ordered a Streamlight TLR-1 from Graf's today. I see now that the latest version of the TLR-1 has their C4 technology. The description on Graf's website doesn't mention C4. Now I'm worried that I purchased an older version that Graf's is clearing out prior to restocking with the latest model...

Anyone seeing these for sale? I have been contemplating either one of these or a S&W 617. I've been watching Gunbroker for a few weeks and have yet to see an SP101 listed. A Google search yields a few listings for them, but no one seems to have them in stock. Are they that popular, or has Ruger...

After much research and deliberation, I have ordered an RCBS Pro 2000. I went with the the manual index. I am a former Dillon 650 owner, and like the idea of being able to control the shell plate on my own. I ordered a few shell plates and tool heads. Is there anything else I am going to...

Picking up a new Ruger 308 bolt gun today, and I will need to buy a set of dies to go with. I'm looking for experience based advice on a set of dies. I will not be shooting beyond 500 yards anytime soon, nor any type of formal competition. Still, I'd like to produce the best ammo I can. Loading...

I have a 1911 that a local smith butchered the Bomar cut on. I need to find a good, reliable gun smith to fix it. Someone who is going to do what they say they are going to do, with no excuses or exceptions. The type of guy that if you call him for an update, if he doesn't have the answer you...

I started sizing fired 357SIG brass tonight with a Redding sizer die. Every now and then (maybe 6-8 out of the 100 I did) the primer punch would get sucked right out of the die and end up lodged in the flash hole of the case. Lots of fun retrieving those. It only seemed to happen on cases that...

Anybody have load data they could share with me? Specifically, I am looking for loads using a 124g Hornady XTP and Alliant Blue Dot. When I was doing my initial web "research", I found mention of Blue Dot as a go to to the SIG round. But, Alliant doesn't list the loads on their website anymore...

Saw and shot one of these for the first time today. I never knew these existed. Seemed like a really nice gun, liked the frame. Came home and checked it out on Gunbroker-holy cow! That's an expensive little 22! What's the buzz on these, are they worth it?

I was at a local Colonial America themed festival today (Penn's Colony) and happened across a vendor selling handmade knives, hawks and black powder accoutrements. He also had several rifles for sale. All but one were flintlock. The one that caught my eye had an unusual action, one I was never...

I picked up a pound of 2400 to try with cast bullets in my 45-70 Contender. Looking through my Lyman Cast Manual, it recommends the use of a Dacron wad. I just read thru a ton of previous posts here on THR about the subject, but have been left with this one question: how much is enough? Should...

I'd like to find a Marlin 1894 in 357 Magnum with a pistol grip stock. I recall there was a limited edition stainless model with a grey laminate stock. Would like to start checking Gunbroker for one, but not sure what the model designation was. Anybody remember?

I just picked one of these up and am having a holster problem. I had thought it would work just fine in a Desantis 5" N frame thumb break scabberd I use for the 625, but the thumb break is a no go. I emailed Desantis and they said they do not offer anything for the 4" Pro. All I am looking for...

I have an older Rockchucker that I have recently "re-discovered". I have it set up for Hornady LNL and couldn't be happier with it. Except- friggin decapped primers go everywhere! Yeah, the vacuum makes short work of it, but has anyone got tips on how to stop or limit this? Besides upgrading to...

Before I begin, please understand that I know next to nothing about finishing wood! I have a set of Eagle rosewood secret service grips for a Ruger SP101. I bought them used sometime ago and haven't had a need for them till now. The previous owner somehow managed to remove the clear coat(?) off...

I'm having an issue with this die while loading 45ACP. I am loading on a Dillon 650. Brass is sorted by head stamp, loading a 230g LRN. My OAL is increased, consistently, by .001 after the round has been through the Lee crimp die. Has anyone else had this happen? When the round cycles through...

I just put a Hi Viz front sight on my 5" 625. I'd now like to add a V notch rear sight blade. In checking Brownell's, there are several different blades in stock and I can't figure out which one to order. They have three: .122", .160" and .190". What does this measurement reflect and how do I...

Can someone tell me the manufacturer of the wood grips S&W provides with the 329? I would like to get a set for my 625.
