    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...

    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...

    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

    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?

    Modern 1873 toggle link strength

    Both Winchester and Uberti make the 1873 in 357 magnum and Uberti even makes it in 44 magnum. But every time I see someone asking about loading "hot" 45 Colt loads they are told that the 1873's action won't handle anything over normal saami spec loads. I can't imagine Uberti making a rifle they...

    Ruger Single Six Questions

    I am picking up a new to me Single six tomorrow that was made in 1956. It has the flat gate and from what I understand "XR3" frames. In looking for new grips there is now a "New XR3" frame from the newest Vaqueros. Will the grips for the "New XR3" fit the old "XR3"? Also anyone got any...

Looking at the current crop of inexpensive rifles such as the Savage Axis II, Ruger American, etc. The rifle would be used in Middle TN. So long shots are very rare. Just need something that is...
