What a beautiful thing. What are you loading in all those little gem? I LOVE the Lee 105 SWC and 2.5g of Bullseye. Lubed with 50/50 and sized to .358. Little lasers. Hands down my fun at the range...

Man I have a pre-dash 6" 686. That only makes the gun a little "different". I say different in a good way! Wouldn't bother me at all. Funny story, I sent my 686 to S&W for a hammer mounted firing...
To me the 16# spring has been the best of both worlds. My ball load pushes 230 cast at about 830 fps, and my plinker load 200g SWC right at 800. Gun digests both perfectly. I shoot an all steel...

I think of it more this way, you have a $600 rifle with great glass that can shoot!

If you planned on shooting them or carrying in the field, I'd negotiate a better price and keep them. I know these are getting harder to find and the prices are way up. Assuming they function fine....

Bigblock,
You planning to set up an optic? If so, thoughts on what power optic. Never been a fan of optics on levers, then I got old. Should be a shooter, especially with cast. Post loads as you...

Hey All,
Looking to purchase the older style Lee Safety Prime system for me Lee Classic Turret (preferably both sizes, but really need small). Currently using the older round system and its...

I have some 50/50 sticks that are probably 12 years old. I keep them in a spare fridge in the garage. Still work fine. I think as long at they stay solid and clean, you are good to go. I would...

Glad to see my old post getting some use!!
I also have the Lee 105 (drops about 112g) and the 125 RNFP (drops at about 130) both for a hodge podge alloy. I've only used both in .38 spl. That...
I really enjoy a 3.2g charge of Bullseye, sized .358 and lubed with 50/50. Any .38 spl brass, any SPP. Currently my most shot combination. Favorite pistol for this one is a 4" M15 Combat...
No mention of Metalform mags. One of my favorites. I run Wilson and Metalform only. Both have been flawless for 15 years or so. I've not even replaced springs in that time.

Pacomdiver, pm Sent. Mold comes with everything that they ship with from Lee. Thanks for looking.

Hello All. Acquired some molds that I don't need. $30 each shipped for the 9mm and the .40 molds. $25 shipped on the .45 as it's a little more "used" than the others. Cavities on all the molds...
Follow up. The 200g lee swc shot fine. Did have one bobble out 50 but that was on me as the slide release just doesn't release with a mag inserted (yet). Shot the lee truncated cone just fine as...
Good info so far. Thanks.
Lyman 452424?? and it works?, I'd never expect a 250+ grain SWC to work out of this platform. Great to know, just in case I need to kill a bowling pin at a relatively...
Good Evening All,
Just Picked up a new Smith Shield in .45 acp (super cheap AND with a $75 rebate). I'm hoping that it will feed my 200g SWC (Lee) loads. I have the round nose and the truncated...

I load and shoot them from a BHP, a G19 and a G26 (Lone Wolf barrels). Shoots perfectly, seated to 1.03" OAL and sized to .358. I shoot them plenty in .38 specials as well. Don't go crazy loading...
2400 for most heavy loads, W296 for the real heavies (320 grainers) and Unique for the 'other' 95% of my 44 mag shooting.

Gentlemen, you've all been a great help. As I wiped the pistol down to snap a few pics, I may have fallen back in love with the ol' gal! I haven't sold a gun in a loooong time. Just because I...
