The above prices are what I would expect to see in the houston area. I always keep a lookout for those model revilolvers, because right now they are some of the best deals on Colts to be had. The...
The colt forum guy's handle is Swamprat I believe.
Smkummer is right, any python grip will fit. I have a beater one I bought for 250 a few years ago and love it. I put some Pachymers off my python on it. I have tried to shoot it with the factory...
I know this forum is for casting boolits, but I am just getting started and need some 38 caliber hard cast. I was wondering if anyone had used Lucky 13 brand boolits, and if so how was their...
Well after 4 pages someone finally mentiond Ammo-Load, for my reason of reduced capisity. Although I have never delt with a-merc.

There was a pretty decent deal on a RL550 on eBay today. It is still there for 300 and 25 for shipping. It looks complete and has a set of 7mm dies. I know those were not ones you wanted but you...
This sounded intreating so I looked around. Duke, I found this and it looks like its in your home state. I wish they would have something like that around here. Bu, then again it also sounds like...

Right now I only have the lee 440grn gc mold. I was looking to have a SWC 440grn PB, a 375 and a 500-600 gc mold made. I have not paid a lot of attention to the heavier boolits and need to look at...

I appreciate all the advise. I think I will go ahead and get the RCBS, and might hang onto it even if I wind up with a Star. The wif I am sure will love an extra pice of equipment laying around....
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I am just getting into casting and reloading (thank you S&W 500). I know the rcbs is not as good as a star but with funds being tight its seems like a good option. I have an opportunity to get one at...
Ok I went ahead and found the link, go to the bottom and read the development of the 500 article he wrote it will answer all your questions and then some http://www.john-ross.net/store.php As with...
As far as recoil goes its not horrible if you are use to shooting big boomers. I went from a 357 to the 500 and do not have any problems. I always tell people I would rather shoot it than a J fram...
That is a reasonable price, not great but the going rate around here. If you really want some info on the 500 and what it can do look up John Ross Smith and Wesson 500. He's a member here but I...

No dies yet. Have a Hornady 4 dies set on back order. I'm hoping the wheel weight thing will pay off but we will see. I think I am going to order some cast boolits to get me by till I can build up a...

I have a Lee C-Press right now. I was always under the impression that it was a hunk of junk, but y'all have me thinking it's worth a shot. I am planning on purchasing a Dillon 650 in the next few...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I have a Lee C press maybe I will just use that for now. I had never thought of using it for the sizing and then the 4 station for the rest (kind of feel stupid for that). My friend has a 440 mold,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
The plan is to load cast in the 500, 44, and 357. I don't have casting equipment but my friend is going to be doing the casting, until I can get the money together for casting equipment. I was trying...

Hey guys, I'm new around here and trying to learn so please be kind. I tried the search function and came up empty. I want to start reloading, and specifically for the 500. I know there are quite...
