When I shot BP through my 24" barrel Marlin I put a grease cookie in for good measure to keep the fouling soft. Seemed to work.

I used Clays for years while shooting Cowboy. Then switched to Trail Boss. TB is very bulky for lo recoil loads.

I shoot .380-381 cast in mine.

I bought a Marbles front sight with brass bead and cut and filed until it fit the slot for the original brass blade and then put a marbles tang sight on with the windage adjustment. The dovetail on...

I got one early last fall. Has a higher capacity than the old ones. One thing that really got me was they shortened the cord on them. I have outlets high on the basement wall and now I need an...

I have 2 Cimarron's in .45 Colt. They have the tiny v notch and are called Model P's. Shot them for 14 years in Cowboy and they never failed me.

Had a squeaky hinge on the bathroom door. Sprayed it with a little Rem Oil and now all I have to do is touch it and the door slams.

Everybody is on board for the squash. What about the poor cow tongue? I'm sure it feels left out!:roll:

It's called planning!

Check this link. He has very good directions on assembly and disassembly of the Rossi 92. There's a nice trick for getting the bolt back in.

Found the same thing with both companies. I'll go RCBS totally from now on.

Thinking I'll need to do this with a hot mold, right

I have one of the new style Lee molds with alignment pins. It has one pin that comes loose when it gets hot. Has anybody fixed this themselves without sending it back to Lee? If so what did you do?

Never mind, I didn't see there were three pages of posts. Sorry.

Are you guys loading these as cast or sizing them, and if so to what?

Here's one for you, if they were two sizes, wouldn't there be two sizes of flash hole uniforming tools? The ones in my .45 dies measure .068 the ones in my .38 dies measure .068.

I cut 38 spl's to length but I think I'll get some 38 long colt because it would be cool to have another kind of brass. Like I need another kind of brass!

It's not a stepped chamber because I've...

Well I loaded up 5 using the .380 dies to expand and seat. Awesome! Gonna have to buy some brass now

Saguaro

What is it that makes it so much better? I got a 450 and it sounds like I'm missing out.

Saguaro

I might see what I can do as far as expanding and seating with my .380 dies. They're pretty close to the 9mm that smkummer uses.

I have cimarron 1872 opentops and they are marked 38 Long Colt. Thought I'd give them a try for the heck of it.

Anybody ever try loading .38 Long Colt with .38 spl dies?

Saguaro

All good ideas thanks guys.

Well I'm just beginning to collect pewter to add to my bullets. What can I use as an ingot mold for smaller quantities? Using the Lyman ingot mold for WW etc and don't need 1# pewter ingots.

You can always put a shorter front sight on it if you still are running out of elevation with the Marbles.
