    Good price on Zilla crushed walnut tumbling media- delivered!

    Good question about the particle size-----does it jam up in the primer hole?

    S&W 586 Value?

    I picked up mine about two years ago---I think I was out the door for $520, including sales tax (which is high here) and my background fee. They are great shooters. If it's truly mint, and you like it, $550 was a great buy. Like another poster said, the prices seem to be creeping up just a...

    Question re Colt Officers Match .22rf

    I inheirited mine from my Uncle. It's a great pistol, although no where near as clean and pretty as SaxonPigs-----but it shoots lights out, all day long. Garden-eating bunnies beware! Spend the extra dollars and get the Colt. You won't be disappointed, and will pass it along someday...

    Single Action Lovers

    I like SA revolvers, in 'old' cartridges like .45 Colt, for many of the same reasons that I like a Porsche in manual. Sure---the automatic is great; but I like the feel, the control, the heritage...

    Ammo Storage

    When my grandfather passed away, I came into his firearms and ammo. He had a few boxes of .308 that, by the price, he purchased in the middle seventies. No corrosion, and they shoot fine.

    First Accident Reloading...

    Hand priming is a wonderful thing. I'm in no hurry!

    Reloading brass question

    Right now I'm only loading handgun, and although I mostly use range pickup, when I buy new, it's Starline.

    Ever manage to get your dies hot?

    I'm waaaay to slow to get anything hot on my press. But, I doubt very very seriously any of us could ever get our dies hot enough to hurt them.

    Unburned Universal Clays Powder

    I wouldn't seat deeper. Try a little more crimp. Otherwise, do like rcmodel says, and dump it for Bullseye. It's darn near the perfect .38 spec powder.

    .32 S&W Long Fans?

    I've got a little hand ejector Smith in this great caliber. I'm working on the 'perfect' Unique load, pushing a 100 grain LRN. It's very accurate, and a hoot to shoot. The fellow who sold it to me said it was an old Milwaukee PD carry piece.

    .454 Casull Loads: Which would be more pleasant?

    21 grains of lil gun is going to be a kick in the pants. +1 to the other fellows. Start with the trail boss.

    Is there any .38/357 that can match a Ruger SP101?

    Give me a 586 any day for target shooting and competition. To my way of thinking, a .357 isn't a concealed carry piece---at least for me any way.

    Lee Turret Press-is it necessary to Chamfer and deburr w/ expander die?

    I chamfer the first time I reuse range pickup pickup brass. From then on, it's 'mine' (I mark with a red sharpie), and I know it's been done already. Give them the eyeball in the loading tray just to make sure nothing funky is going on.

    How many guys

    I load for my father in law only---and then I stand nearby him when he shoots. I've had plenty of buddies offer to pay me for boxes, but won't do it. Heck, I'll go online and put them a shopping cart together at Midway (which I've done!), but I ain't loading for them.

    S&W 586 4 inch for idpa?

    +1 to RoadDog. Either way, you can't go wrong. I shoot a 4" 586, and it's a gem.

    Buy American, gentlemen.

    Cloudy scenario

    I recommend you consult an attorney in Indiana, who is licensed to practice in Illinois also. Tell him/her your issues and questions. You should expect to spend $100-200 for a consultation/review on this issue. Consider it money well spent. Assumedly, you'll be making this drive a few...

    Range Brag Book

    I don't see the point. Like rbernie said; when it comes to marksmanship, the present is all the matters. The only target that counts is the one you are shooting. Sure, practice makes us closer to perfect (which we will never reach), but I don't see saving targets as having a point. But, it's...

    Stuck Strain Screw

    To clarify my previous hesitancy with (excessive) heat on that particular screw: you don't want to accidentally anneal any of the surrounding metal. I've heard tell of smiths doing this, who knows how likely it is. The impact wrench is the way to go if heat has failed.
