Not opposed to used but Dewey's doesn't seem to have the '92 in stock.

I have my heart set on a Winchester 92 in .357 magnum. Yes, I know they're made by Miroku and I could buy a Rossi for half the dough, but I want a Winchester. Can't seem to find one anywhere. Anybody got a source?

Thanks, I've already got some Unique on hand so I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the reply. I'd certainly be interested in hearing how your reloads work in your new Solo. Have you tried any other powders?

I'm considering purchasing a Solo which has a reputation for being a little finicky about ammo. I'll use factory ammo for SD but I'd like to reload for range use, Anyone have a good recipe for 124&147gr ammo that the Solo will tolerate? I was intending to use Berry's plated bullets. Should I...

Thanks to all who responded. I know my son converted a Beretta 9mm to a .40 by changing out the slide and barrel; I was hoping the Hi-power would be a suitable candidate. Back to the drawing board; maybe I'll just swap the H&K for another Browning.

I have a new production Hi-Power in 9mm that I'm considering converting to .40 S&W. It's an excellent shooter with a great trigger but it would be more interesting in .40. I've tried several other .40s and still have an H&K USP but none of them have been as good as the Browning. Is this a...

I had an S&W 625 revolver converted to 460 Rowland several yrs ago; easy to reload with 45acp dies and provides 44mag performance. I've been tempted to convert one of my 1911s but just haven't gotten around to it.

I have an Uberti Schofield Wells Fargo in 45 Colt that I shoot for fun. Recently the hand spring broke after only 500 rds of softball cowboy ammo. This stops the cylinder from rotating when the hammer is cocked and effectively puts the gun out of action. A hand spring is cheap ($4) and fairly...

4.5gr of 452AA is a nice powderpuff load in the Colts but won't reliably cycle the Sig. I was hoping to go to 5-5.5gr (with a 185gr SWC) but can't find any published data on 452AA or Trap 100 to support my decision. Anybody tried this recipe?

Years ago I used 452AA as a target load in 45acp with good results. The powder has been off the maket but I recently picked up several lbs at an old gunshop for a good price. Now I can't find any data other than an old Winchester brochure that recommends 4.5gr with a 185gr SWC. That load...

Thanks to Johnny for his advice based on his first hand experiences. FWIW my Lyman reloading handbook lists the case mouth dia. of the 9mm as .380, the 38spcl is listed as .379. My calipers don't agree but I assume Lyman is publishing the accepted standard. The dies on a square deal are...

I'm considering an Enfield (Webley) .38 as a plinker but 38S&W dies aren't available for my square deal. If I modify a 38spcl shell holder very slightly it will hold 38S&W brass. Can I use 38spcl or 9mm dies to size and crimp the cases? The case mouth on a 9mm is a little larger than the...

I'm looking for a light, clean burning load for my Uberti Schofield with 200-230gr lead bullets. I've tried 8gr of Unique but it really smokes up the bluing and gets all over your hands after 50+ rounds.

OK, I surrender--a .223 it is. At least it can share ammo with my Mini 14.

I was considering a .243 but I think I'm hearing I should limit myself to the .223 unless I want recoil to be an issue. Anybody care to comment on .243 recoil?

Although I have a nice selection of modern pistols and revolvers, I'm considering a Thompson Contender for a change of pace. What I need is some advice on caliber choice to keep recoil at a manageable level. I currently shoot 44mag and 460 Rowland full power loads in my 6" S&Ws with no...

Sorry, didn't mean to ignore your questions but my son-in-law made off with the rifle. The buttstock was found with the rifle but wasn't actually attached. I installed it and it seemed to fit perfectly but it may not have been the original stock. Thanks for your interest but I think it's...

The Dillon 38 Spcl shellholder is just a smidge too small to accept 38 S&W. A light touch-up with a Dremel should make it fit both. I was going to use the 9mm dies for stations 2,3&4 because they should be a little larger than 38 Spcl. Have you tried to reload without resizing? I feel like...

Although I have a good selection of modern revolvers and pistols, I'm considering purchasing a .38 S&W Enfield for a little vintage variety. I have a Dillon Square Deal and no .38 S&W dies are available for this little press. I'm not willing to go back to single station reloading and therin...
