Depends on the gun. I have some of most. I would start with a Lyman set. If adjustments need to be made, you can add a neck sizer and different expanders. RCBS Cowboys have a nice seat/crimp die. For...

I did as Recycledbullet. Got them in yellow for better contrast.

Nothing shabby about my Rossi '92. Looks good, shoots great.

What Fitz said will get you full length cases w/ almost or no loss. I will add, expand case mouth prior to forming to reduce folding.

I have that Marble's tang sight on my R92 and like it. 45Colt. It is windage adjustable. For hunting, just remove the disk, and you have a ghost ring.

Marbles tang w/ windage adj. for Rossi 92 w/ factory front sight. Works great!

Electronic scales, in my opinion (nearly worthless) are unreliable for powder weighing.

I've had him do a lever to 38-55 and FBW single shot to 32-20. Both are fine. I have a Stevens that I may send him if I can decide what to change it to.

All of my deer have fallen to a #3 45-70 w/ Hornady 300g hollowpoints & 4198 from around Verona. I also have one in 30-40. Both are fine rifles.

The LEE cheapy disc measure handles the big flakes pretty well. Unique, Herco I haven't tried all measures but have a few different ones.

If you don't mind spending money get a Harrel. Electronic scales that I've tried, tend to drift.
Grips are not available for the old "low back". I modified Hougue grips for a Redhawk with a belt sander. They don't look too good but feel great. That's all I could find.
+1 I just had my 41mag BH evened up. 3 chambers were in spec, 3 were too tight to chamber RF style bullets. All good now, shoots great. Quick return and great communication. It's not the first one I...

I have a #3 in 30-40. I have used a case full of surplus 4831 behind a 180g cast, and it shoots quite well.
Gun show on Saturday, picked up 2 Ideal single cavities. One was nos, the other barely used. 41032 and 429348. The fun awaits.

I wonder if someone will have them at the Horse Park on Saturday?
Mine is a blue 357 w/ a 4 5/8' barrel. They got in trouble for the transfer bar, I think. The blue is the shiniest I've ever seen. It's heavier than a Blackhawk but is supposed to take Super BH grip...
I don't think so. "Single Actions" should lead you to Seville history. I have one.

Someone (old CBA article) punched holes in gas checks and placed them in a mold w/ tweezers in the first full diameter band. The lead poured through the hole attaching the check. I don't recall the...

I kept my 430 JDJ barrel. It shoots good w/ 320gr bullets and 4198. Recoil is brisk, but tolerable. I used for silhouettes a few times, but I was much younger. The 358 JDJ w/ 250gr was the worst...

I had a 50-70 SSK barrel for Contender. 14" 4 port Magna Port. I wouldn't want to fire the pistol w/o the porting, if the porting helped,
