I have used a RockChucker for a little over a year. It is very smooth with plenty of leverage. The only downside is the spent primer catcher. It is not the easiest to remove without spilling primers. You also have to make sure it is not leaning back away from the ram or the spent primers will...

I bought my first press last year, I went with the RCBS rock chucker supreme reloading kit mainly because of word of mouth recommendations and it is built like a tank.

I have had a similar situation, but it was intentional. About 6 months ago when I bought my LCP, I went to academy looking for some .380 (I know, I know.... fat chance) They did have one box of 50 Remington .380 HP on the shelf for $30. Since it was all I could find, I decided to get it. For...

I picked up some 158grn win JHP today. I will use those with some Tightgroup or Universal to use up the primed cases (only 50) and treat them as SP primers. I will save the half jacketed bullets for use with heavier loads with HS-6 and SPM primers that way wont run the risk of sticking the half...

rc, I fixed my previous post... I missed the part about the light loads in the last sentence. I have NO intentions (and had none before I knew about the seperation possibility) to make light loads with these bullets. The 6" full lug GP100 is heavy enough to shoot full power loads and remain...

Thanks for the info Michael, thats what i plan to do this weekend. (minus the light load part)

Ill keep that in mind. I doubt these cases are any older than early 60s. The box of stuff he gave me had loaded Garand stripper clips with LC52 head stamps, Several boxes of .30 LC match ammo with 1964 printed on the boxes, and 10 boxes that look like this...

Thanks for all the replies, it looks like I will be loading up some test loads with HS-6 this evening. I'm going for full house loads since I just picked this gun up and want to become proficient with full power loads (being my first .357mag) before coming up with target loads.

Doug, I read some archived post on the same thing. I definately will not be down loading these bullets, I enjoy shooting heavier loads.

Thanks Jim, I did a google search for hornady SJ and found some .30 cal round nose rifle bullets that look to be of similar construction. I havnt been able to find any SJSWC, but I believe you are correct.

Steve, This is the kind of info I was looking for. I wasn't really looking for a specific charge weight, more of people's experience with these powders in this cartridge as far as how clean they burn and the amount of smoke produced. I figured HS-6 would be the better choice since it was closer...

I bought a GP100 6" stainless (my first 357/38 cal gun) this past weekend, so yesterday I bought my dies. I will be loading 158 grn Short Jacket SWC bullets. I have small pistol primers in both standard and magnum. The pistol powders i have on hand are: HS-6, Universal Clays, Titegroup, and...

Thanks for the quick responses. Since they are half jacketed, does that mean i can use jacketed load data without worrying about leading up the barrel?

My boss gave me some old 38spl and 357mag reloading supplies that he found in an old storage building. There were about 500 nickel plated once fired 38spl cases, all Western brand and in original boxes; 200 357mag nickel plated once fired cases, and about 500 of these bullets. The base is marked...

Ill have to go with my Universal Enforcer, extremely pointless, not at all reliable, only mildly accurate, but it is a hoot to shoot. (its the one on top) :)

Ill have to go with the GP100. I picked up a GP100 6" stainless .357 this past weekend for $350. It has virtually no wear and after cleaning it, I doubt they fired anything other than 38spl in it. It is my first revolver (other than my grandpa's old RG 66 .22lr) and it wont be my last.

I have the Rockchucker and it requires no over hang. With a small bench like that you may want to look into the RCBS accessory plate, assuming you will use rcbs for all your equipment. It will allow you to easily mount and remove each piece of equipment as you need it to cut down on clutter.

i was thinking the same thing. opening the wall up wouldnt be fun. .... btw, whats a basement? I think it would be called an indoor pool down here because how quick it would fill up with water.

I had a couple of friends over this weekend to do a little shooting. The plates held up to any pistol round we shot at it. 22LR, 9mm, 38Super, 40S&W, 45ACP. .410 buck (judge) We shot hard cast lead, FMJ and JHP. The Jacketed bulltes left a smaller spot than the hard cast did. I guess they use a...
