The Trooper MKIII was introduced in 69 and was ahead of its time. Ruger had not adopted the transfer bar yet and Smith had not developed the mid sized frame yet.

I've never used any other Progressive but my SD, I bought it back in the mid 80s and have dies and tool heads for 4 different calibers. I have 2 powder systems each dedicated to large or light carges...

I've owned a BBII since 13 and find it an excellent press. I like the hollow ram primer disp. I'm not sure what you need the new press for but I have used mine for 222rem 30-30 243 and 30-06. I have...

I've thought long and hard about this subject and I own 3 presses. My Rock chucker I bought in 1979 and it was my first, the 2nd press is a Dillon SD that I bought in 86 since I was working 6 days a...

I load 357 for my wife and her Trooper MKIII Colt. I only use the Lee 158 gr RNFP, for mid range I use 4.5 grs of red dot and it's all my wife wants to shoot it performs that good. For a magnum load...
I've had good luck with 2400 in 30-30 and 3006 with cast bullets and those would be two.
I have a question about this powder. Since it appears to be similar to 2400 in magnum handgun loads how does it work in rifles with cast boolits? Is it posistion sensitive? I can't find any data for...
My JT series made in the precision center in 2009 has a front screw that goes all the way to the last thread. It's never loosened with the 5 shot cylinder 45colt loads with heavy slugs.

After I posted I realized that I asked if the Rifling was too slow when I meant to fast. I figured you would get. This caliber is very new too me and over the years my rifle reloading has been mostly...

Thanks for the replies, I have a bunch of stuff on order for this rifle and once I have done some load development I will decide if it deserves good wood. Some time next week the scope mounts brass...

Thanks for the reply, I've never tried any kind of after market stocks before and have always been a little bit of a skeptic about "drop in ready" ads.

I just like a more natural stock material than plastic. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with the Boyds bedding system and the hardware? Maineboy I've never worked with the 243 in the...

First off I hope all had a very nice Chrismas.
Now my wife entered a raffle earlier this month and won a new one in 243. I'm curious if any of the American owners here have installed one of the new...

I agree with Lloyd, although I haven't used a LNL or a 650 I just don't see the benefit in have either a case feeder or auto index. I think the 550 is a simple and great system. I own a SD and bought...

I've never had to pay for shipping except shipping to them. They always shipped it back on their dime. 20 some years ago I called them to order new 357 dies because I had a plumbing leak in my...

How do Idahos schools measure up? Oregons are pretty bad.

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.
Thanks for the comparison photo, the Huntington mod on the BFR looks like it would work the best for me. I think I will send my BFR to him this winter after deer season.
How much would your BFR cost from the precision center in 480?
