    Ruger "Color Case" Finish?

    It's just that, a finish, well actually a coating. It's somewhat protected by a clear coat but once that clear coat is gone that case color won't be far behind. I have heard and seen pictures of that Vaquero that once had case coloring on it. It basically was rubbed out. If youbuy one and...

    Value of Dillon 650??

    Buy a couple reloading manuals FIRST. Read them. Load on a single stage press. Read your manuals again. If the "DEAL" is really good go ahead and splurge and buy it. BUT buy a single stage press also and learn on that FIRST. Lots of things are going on with one pull of the handle on a 650.

    Upgrade to a Dillon: 550B or 650?

    I have both models. The primer system even though different on each model, I find both reliable as I do the whole press. The only thing about the primer system on the 650 is that if you don't prime a case in station 2 for whatever reason that specific primer with fall into a tray with the next...

    Old Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt

    Ken, I strongly suggest you buy a copy of Kuhnhausen's book. It is very informitive and will be cheaper than taking the gun to smith. The book has detailed instructions and diagrams, many more than just a basic exploded diagram. It also helps to have the correct screwdrivers when taking...

    Old Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt

    Ken, You're correct with the fact that you have an Old Model 3 screw Ruger. I have Jerry Kuhnhuasen's Shop Manual for Ruger SA Revolvers (which is a great book) at home and can help you. How far to you have it tore down?

    new to reloading

    Shop around Save yourself some money and check out Midway, Mid-South Shooters Supply, Graf & Sons, and Natchez. Cabelas is a bit pricey on reloading supplies in their catalog. And the last time I was in their Dundee, MI location I had more powder at home then they did in their powder locker...

    Cartridge OAL tolerance...

    Make sure you are using the correct seating stem for the bullet shape you are using. Just a side note, I'd be more worried about the ones that were shorter than the MINIMUM OAL. It's better to be longer than anticipated and you'll probably find that if you are running these loads thru a...

    XL 650 Casefeeder ?

    I only run mine on high when I initially fill the drop tube with brass, then I switch to low. If you find yourself waiting on brass to drop into station 1 then put it on high. You can see a primer but not like you can on a 550. If you look to the right of the shell plate between staions 1 &...

    Hardcast bullets for 45 ACP

    I know you are looking for 230gr. or heavier but the 200gr SWC from Leadheads works great for me in my Kimber. My "standard" load is that bullet over 5.5gr of W231.

    Used Gun help
