    Dies for Dillon when Dillon doesn't make them

    Just curious what you guys use when Dillon doesn't make the dies. I hate buying three die sets only to toss the expander die to the side. For 327 Fed Mag, I ended up getting the Lee 3 die set and a Lee factory crimp die. Just curious to see if there is a better way. *Edit* Should have mentioned...

    Reloading for caliber you own?

    Do you reload for all the calibers you own? Just the major ones? Or just a few? I currently own guns in 327 Fed mag, 380acp, 38 special, 357 mag, 9mm, 7.62x25, 44 mag, 223, 45 Colt, 45acp, 40s&w and 30-30. I have a Dillon 550b with quick change setups for everything except 7.62x25, 380acp...

    Help. Dillon 550b is not belling the case in station 2

    The quick change kits are expensive but they make changing calibers so easy. I have four of them and could really use 2-3 more.

    Springfield trapdoor

    I know next to nothing about trapdoors except that I think I want one. One that I can shoot on a semi-regular basis. I reload, so suitable ammo is no problem. Can you buy one on gunbroker for a reasonable price? Less that $1000? What do you look for? Is this a needle in a haystack kind of thing...

    327 Federal magnum

    I have the 4" Sp101 and love it. Both for myself shooting full house 327's and the wife and kids shooting 32S&W longs. The 32S&W longs are like shooting a cap gun.

    22LR Lever Action Rifle

    If you want an heirloom, then Browning, Marlin or Winchester. If you want something to shoot and not have to worry about, the Henry is a fine shooter.

    J frame 357 versus 38+p

    I find that my 3" S&W M60 is very shootable with normal 357 magnum ammo. I would not want an air weight though.

    Cartridge that you just don't like

    I don't like the 380. Just too painful to shoot in the size gun that they are generally made for like the Ruger lcp.

    Super Tuesday, vote in D primary to stop Bloomberg?

    I voted for Bernie last time in the primary just to be able to say I voted against Hillary twice. In TN you can vote in either the Dem or Rep primary, but not both. Trump will win in TN, so there is no need for me to go vote for him, but this time, voting in the Dem primary feels like playing...

    Your thoughts on PCCs (pistol-caliber carbines)

    No useful reason to own a PCC other than just having fun; and that's fine.

    Quickload question

    The default case capacity actually matched my measured case capacity and I used actual measurements of the bullets and the brass.. I also adjusted the case capacity variable up and down by several grains and while it made a difference, it did not make a 200fps difference, more like 20-40fps...

    Quickload question

    I checked everything you told me to check. Bullet length and seat depth is correct. Case capacity is right. Cylinder gap is 0.0035. Below is a screen shot

    Quickload question

    I received my copy of quickload yesterday, so I am very new to the program. I entered in everything for my 250 grain missouri bullets cowboy #1 45 colt load using 7.1 grains of Unique. Quickload estimates a velocity of 842fps out of my 5.5" barrel. My shooting chrony shows a mean of 655 for 5...

    Uberti Cattleman questions

    Thanks everyone. I wish Uberti was a little more clear that these changes have taken place on their website. They show the "Old style" vs "New style" but do not mention the newer changes to the hammer and firing pin.

    Uberti Cattleman questions

    I have a Desperado model that was made in 2017. It has a 4 click action and some type of little black bar beneath the hammer spur. I recently bought a Nickle Cattleman made in 2019 thinking it would be the same gun with different grips. I got a god deal on it online and figured it was worth the...

    How do you work up loads for bullets with no published data

    Mine are 12 Brinell and I am using 7.0 grains of unique and getting 700fps from a 5 1/2” barrel and 975fps from an 18” barrel. I wasn’t really looking for specifics for this particular load, just using it as an example. Looks like most are doing what I am doing and just trying to find the...

    How do you work up loads for bullets with no published data

    For example, I bought Missouri bullets 255 grain 45 cal cowboy #1 bullets for 45 Colt. I can't find published data for that bullet, but I can find data for other 255 grain cast lead bullets so I generally start on the low side of the published loads and work up. Is that what everyone else does?
