Shortly after hearing Starline was filling back orders I ordered some on 3/14/24 and got a back order confirmation. The next time (next day?) I looked at their site the BO for the .480R brass was...

KimberLH #1 has a 2-7 Leupold with plex.
Wife's Kimber has a 4x Leupold. (She could outshoot me and the above rifle.)
KimberLH #2 has a 2-7 Leupold RF MOA. I wish this was gloss finish, but l...

I like mine. I sent it to T/C and had the "easy open" added.

I seem to recall SPEER bullets came 101 in a box, just in case one was missing or deformed. Long ago.

Diamond D Leather in Wasilla, AK, makes some very nice holsters.

For those that missed the Bob Milek article about the .357 Max., it can be read in a '17 thread on Singleactions. The thread on the .357 Max. is 7 pages long.

I miss Bob Milek's stories. He...

Thanks guys! I BO a small amount to fill in my stock for what I'd shared. It'll be nice to have what I feel is my safe minimum on the shelf again!

This is an interesting read as usual.

kerplode: Yes, a .480 Ruger and .375 Ruger both fit in my safe. They (at times) also keep me company at the range and in the field. I bought enough brass...

In terms of the .480 Ruger, I think picking on Starline is missing the target. HORNADY helped develop the cartridge with Ruger. HORNADY should be supporting the Ruger cartridges it helped develop! ...

Starline will be a good deal on .32WS brass. They list $0.54 per piece with free shipping. I had some excess Win. & RP brass and was selling it for what I thought would be replacement cost at $0.70...

I just checked the spec. sheet from my Hawkeye 375Ruger FTW. "Barrel Length: 22" Hammer Forged 1:12 Twist,"

There is a long thread on DW (Dan Wesson 357 Opinions) on page 2 of this subforum with information on contacting CZ-Dan Wesson (post 54).

ewkarms.com has some of the nicer barrel tools around and...

Day before yesterday I finally found a pound of Varget. $52.99. The "can" I'd emptied was bought at the same store in Nov. '20 for $31.99.

Last I heard CZ still had barrels/shrouds for sale. "Jenny" is the lady that comes to mind that handles DW parts.

EDIT: I poked around the DAN WESSON FORUM and found this information in a posting...

Early DW .44 came with ported barrels and shrouds. Included were a ported barrel and a non-ported barrel with a ported shroud. The ported barrels and shrouds were reported to be a pain to clean.

Great post! My 480 Ruger has never had a jacketed bullet in it.

Long ago I tried barrel lengths on a pair of Dan Wessons, .22 and .357. Same frames, just changed to different barrel lengths on each caliber. I shot the 4" OK, the 6" was a LOT better, and the 8"...

For my .480 Ruger "fun" loads I use a RCBS 400 grain mold; almost all of my .480 shooting. I have a couple of boxes of 410 grain hard cast bullets from Cast Performance for serious carry.

I avoid...

I have a .480 Ruger. I have no Hornady brass for it. I have mostly Starline and a couple of boxes of FC used to top off my inventory. I "shared" with those in need a couple of times when I thought...

I understand. I owned a IH Scout II and a IH 3/4 ton 4x4. Both were outstanding rigs. I have a nice late Springfield and a nice H&R. The only one missing (edit: from the post WW2 Garands) is a...

From the RCBS RELOADING DIES instructions:
"CARBIDE SIZER DIE
...When using a Carbide Sizer Die, it is not necessary to lubricate a pistol straight-wall case. However, the 30M1 Carbine is...

I didn't get any "paper" with the CMP guns; however, I have bought and used corrosion preventative impregnated paper from Brownell's for many of the metal items (dies, etc.). I put most of my guns...

Star Line has .357 brass in stock. As does Midway.

For fun loads I use UNQ powder with a RCBS 400 gr. bullet for an average speed of 796 fps.

For more serious carry I load a 440 gr. CPBLGC bullet with Titegroup for 1191 fps.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy shooting "family" guns.
