I've handled these in the store, really nice.
I bought a Sig P220 38 Super (American magazine release) a few weeks ago. I'm working on loading some Acme and Bayou .356 150g SWC coated for it, should be fun. I made some dummies of varying...

I enjoy it all. Buy 'em, clean 'em, shoot 'em, clean 'em, see which loads worked best, tweak those loads a little bit, get some different boolits and see how those fly. Buy a new gun and start...

I liked my Lyman Turret press. Now I'm using 2 550s, a Square Deal B, and a Rock Chucker.

I was laughing at that one too, brass prep sucks but I gotta do it.

I have been able to get large pistol magnum and small pistol magnum primers. Large rifle are easy to find, large pistol kind of easy to find, small pistol and small rifle are exceedingly difficult...
I prefer the Smith, they fit my hand better, and they shoot better for me.
If I was a collector, I'd have old Colts, they are beautiful revolvers, just wonderful to look at.
Did you get the serial number, I can look it up in my book, give you a rough estimate.
Thank you, Doug did a 629 for me at .4305, I haven't gotten to the range yet to try it out.
I'm using Matt's cast .430 bullets mostly.
I sort out the Winchester, Federal, and Blazer. I found that setting the powder drop to say Winchester brass is beneficial on my 550.
Use the start load data and see how they shoot, maybe a little less than the start load since they seat a little deeper.
Agreed, those look like FMJs that have a hole drilled in them.

DougGuy did a 1911 barrel and a 629 cylinder for me. They look great, can't wait to get them to the range.
I like Starline, bought a bunch of 357, 44, and 45 Colt recently.
Nice Smith there.
I had a 5" 27, in a moment of stupidity I sold it.

Defcon 5 1/2.
I just started using small magnum pistol primers for 357 Magnum, can't find any more.
I'm all set on everything else, in fact I sold factory ammunition to a friend in need.
