Hmmm. Would you be enamored of driving a Model T car?This. If you just have to have six, the transfer bar is about as foolproof as it gets, with the Smith block a close second.
Some of us are just enamored of the idea that an old gun should work like an old gun. And sound right, too.

If I had a Model T, yes. Although there are 'restomods' out there, on vehicles newer than a T, that incorporate more modern features (power trains, 12v system, disc brakes), that are kind of the automotive equivalent of modernized SSAs.
How much of the case does 231 fill? How about Unique?
Caught the reply before I moved it eh?
It also meters exceptionally well, and produces moderate, consistent loads. Why it has become scarce/nonexistent I cannot imagine. Still have a small stash of it, but when it's gone, I'll likely move to Unique. As noted, did get some positional variance with Unique.

Different strokes, for different folks. Nothing wrong with that.
Hi, not yet... I can't find any .32-20 here either. Good thing I still have a couple hundred new cases of .38-40 and .45 Colt, otherwise I'd be left with 357 only. On the upside, the price of primers has come down a little. It's not easy finding components in France. Black powder on the other hand is up to around $65 a pound.
Entirely legitimate concern. The relative simplicity of the original design served well on our frontier. Keep a screw driver handy, they do have a habit of dismantling themselves.
