Thanks to all for your feedback. Much appreciated.
This ultradot sight has been a learning experience for me. An old dog can learn new tricks.
I picked this sight up on a whim, it was...

Winchester made a sight that went on the bolt of a Model 71. I'm not that familiar with it, but it's a possibility.
I have a S&W 686-6 6" that I thought shot fairly well. Narrowed down my favorite load using the RCBS 38-158-CW boolet, and could hold the 10 ring @27 yards with Irons and my 82 year old eyes....

The rifle is probably easier to find than the dies. I go along with abunaitoo & gwpercle. You need a rifle to match the dies.

Wrap it with old fashioned black cloth electrical tape. I did that to my old John Deere tractor that doesn't have power steering. It's tacky and has a textured grip.
Or shooters adhesive. Or both.

That's one nice stove that's worth rebuilding. Go over it with a wire brush in an angle grinder. Then, like others have said, cover with lard or oil, take it outside, and burn the heck out of it. ...

Been there, done that, but luckily always caught myself.
That's why I only shoot my reloads and will not reload for anybody else. Conversely, I never shoot anybody else's loads.
Been using an Alien gear holster for my CZ. They make both IWB & OWB. Reasonably priced and hold up well.

I've gotten wonderful care at our VA here, including glasses. I see you're an Army member. Give the VA a try.

I'll second that thought. Especially the quick change gearbox. That's a must.
I've picked up a couple of SB lathes years ago, they are a nice versatile machine.
Also consider Clausing, Sheldon,...

Any top punch with a "V" shaped cup to center the bullet so it's square with the die. I make my own on my lathe.
A flat faced punch should be faced off in the lathe. An out of square face will...

God only gives you one set of eyes. There are no replacements. Best to protect them.
I've worked in the trades all my life. My glasses have saved my eyes many times.

With a couple of stout oak planks and some heavy pipe rollers, a crow bar and a come along, I've moved some pretty heave machinery. A safe would be no problem. Good luck with the move.

Will be watching this one too. Have a couple of '03's and a Krag that might really like these.

Wow! That's nice. Always wanted to take a trip on a tug going up the river.
Good friend of mine worked the tugs for years, had all kinds of sea stories. Some of them even true. And he could...

I've found that the H&G 68 that I use in my 45 ACP shoots equally as well in the 45 Colt. And Bullseye powder works just as well too. 6.0 grains works for me. Roll crimp. 1.690" OAL. Size at...

Nice buck with a vintage rifle. Doesn't get much better than that.
I'm just starting to load for my Model 71. Could you recommend some loads to get me going? Preferably cast.
Thanks. And...

I gave up with wood about 15 years ago. Just got too much for these old bones. Used to cut & split about 10 cords a year. But I keep a pile in reserve just in case.
Switched to coal. Only...

I've got an acer Chrome laptop. Still doesn't come up.
But it does show up on my phone. Go figure.
What a great source of bullet info. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this.

I took my commercial driver's license test in a B model Mack. Had the 2 stick duplex in it. Then I drove an R model with a triplex. Later Mack came out with the 5 speed maxidine. Remember the F...
