I say at least one of each size, but if I had to pick only one, it would have to be the 8". The reason is because it is more historically accurate. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know, Remington only made the New Model Army in 8" barrel length. I know some would say that...

Ah, the good old 70's. Is that a faded color photo, or was the photo taken in Black and White? That was before the Cowboy Action thing got started (officially), correct?

This sounds like the voice of experience

I agree whith you edfardos that people should not say you are perfectly safe if you follow published data. I do not remember the publisher of any reloading manual saying that. I think that people get the wrong idea of exactly what is published in those manuals. I certainly do not interpret...

rcmodel is correct about the Lee manuals. They do not have a ballistics lab and only publish old data from the other manuals from companies who do have ballistics labs. Not only am I concerned about the data being out of date, There could be copy errors. The more that data is copied, the...

Another bullet he should try is the Speer 125 Grain 357 SIG Gold dot bullet (Speer Bullets #: 4360). It was designed specifically for the 357 SIG. I have had great success with this bullet. It is also one of the best self defense bullets for the 357 SIG. It is always good to do some practice...

You are asking a question I have been pondering for years. This can be very frustrating. The best I can figure out is that each combination of Rifle/barrel, bullet, powder lot number, primer, and case is unique, and no two combinations will give the same pressure for the same weight of powder...

If you are using the small charge bar, I would recommend that you try the large charge bar, and see if that throws a more consistent charge. I had a similar problem with Trail Boss powder. I was trying to throw 5.7 grain charges using the small charge bar, but it was just not trowing...

I think that Trailboss would be a great powder for you to start with. I use it all the time for light cowboy action type loads. Like you said, it is such a bulky powder that it is difficult to accidentally double charge the cartridge with it. These old cartridges like the 45 colt and the 38...

I agree that the Uniflow is an excellent product. It may not have all the features of your old powder measure, such as a built in baffle, but you can always add the RCBS metal baffle to the Uniflow. However, I would not trade your old powder measure for it. I would do like others have said...

You know the old saying, "You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". Like others have said, you want perfection, yet you are not selecting the best components. To approach perfection, you MUST start with the best components. In my opinion, you have started with some of the worst...

They are thicker than other brands, and designed specifically for the 357 SIG. They were designed for speeds up to 1500 FPS. I have used several thousand of them and have never seen a problem with the plating coming off or getting worn through in the barrel. Here is the link to this bullet...

Thanks Reloadron. I need to show your reply to my wife. She keeps telling me I do a terrible job of explaining things, and make it too complicated.

DC_art, Thanks for catching and clarifying about the zeroing being the third (or should I say first) calibration point. You are absolutely correct. cwall64, That is an interesting question. It could be that the same load cell is used on multiple brands. I think those electronic scales are...

That sensitive device on an electronic scale is called a load cell, and yes, the one on the RCBS ChargeMaster is a very good one for the money. There are different types of load cells. The one on the ChargeMaster 1500 is of the strain gage type (yes, it is typically spelled gage and not...

I agree with what rcmodel said. Another way to put it is, buy a bullet that works well for 357 SIG, and it should also work with 9x19 Parabellum. I have used thousands of the Berry's 124 grain truncated cone plated bullets in 357 SIG with great success.

To calibrate an electronic scale, you want to set the scale to the correct measurement at or near the maximum of its capacity, and for good measure and make sure it tracks linearly, at the half capacity point also. The maximum capacity of this scale is approximately 100 grams. 1 gram =...

Doc7, For which cartridge is that rifle chambered for? Did you buy it new or used? If it has the thin synthetic stock, try RCMODEL's suggestion and see if any of the stock's forend is touching the barrel. I had one like that, and switched to a stock with more clearance and it helped...

rcmodel, Where do you pay a dollar for dills? They are a lot cheaper around here, even the kosher ones :)

If the chronograph said it, it must be true!
