Lately it has been a H&K P7m8 in Milt Sparks VM-2 w/ matching mag/surefire holder with an A2 Aviator flashlight.

I have noticed the same thing on certain dies on my Dillon. It is fine with .357 Magnum but when I switch to .41 Magnum they get very tight and don't want to come out of the case.

Okay I have managed to collect a few in the last couple of months. S&W 686-2 S&W Model 57 Mountain Gun in .41 Magnum Colt King Cobra 1967 Colt Diamondback .38 Special Ruger Blackhawk .41 Magnum Ruger Bisley Blackhawk .357 Magnum

I see what you are saying with the differences in trigger pull. I guess I am just used to S&W so the KC feels more natural. I have only recently picked up the Diamondback and if I find a Python for less than the 14-1600 they were going for at the gun show last weekend I will definitely add it...

I find my King Cobra to be one of my favorite revolvers. I unfortunately have not had the chance to shoot a Python and I am sure the action is much better but I find the King Cobra double action pull preferable to the double action on my Colt Diamondback.

With all the .41 Magnum love in this thread I couldn't pass up this Mod-57 Mountain gun at the show today. Now I have two .41 Magnums to load for this weekend :evil:

I have just managed to put 50 rounds through my new to be 80's era Blackhawk since I picked it up but I am sold on the 41 Magnum. I have gathered all of the reloading supplies I need with the exception of the dies which hopefully will be here early next week.

I found a brass rod and managed to get the bullet out after a little work. I think I will stick to heavier loads for a while. The 3.0 Grains of Bullseye is not much in a large .357 case and I guess I must have missed one. I appreciate all of the help.

Well the bullet is good and stuck in there. I can't get it to budge. :banghead:

I wasn't the one shooting the gun but there was no difference is sound. It is such a light load that with the heavy long barrel there is very little kick so I am assuming that the difference between a proper round and a squib might be minimal. The press is a Dillon 550.

Took a box of .357 magnum 147 grn DEWC over 3 Grns of Bullseye to the range tonight. I had already fired over 60 from this batch so I was feeling pretty confident. Loaded up the first 6 rounds and started to site in the adjustable sites on my 686. My buddy fired the first 6 rounds and I...

It turned out to be simple newbie user error. I load for .45 and .357 and I purchased separate toolheads and powder measure for each. I had recently changed for .357 but I did not properly set up the powder fail-safe bar wing nut so the powder bar was not making its full trip as the fail-safe...

Yeah, I have tried several different pull techniques. When I try to keep the pulls very consistent I still get large variances.

I am using the small bar and I am currently trying to load 13.6 Grns of Winchester 296

I really need some help making this powder measure reliable. I am measuring each pull on a Dillon Eliminator balance scale that I have calibrated. My problem is getting the same amount of powder to drop each time. If it was slight variances I would be okay but I have measured 2 full grains...
