1.550" just clears the j-frame, so I think I am good now.

You can't push it on all the way with thumb.
I decided to seat to the max oal for 38 special of 1.550", and it seems fine there instead of the recommended 1.500". I messaged speer to see what...

No problem fitting my case gauge or with the original capsules. It is the new ones. They fit, but they get slightly deformed from seating pressure. May not hurt anything ,but looks like junk.
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
It goes in beyond where the m die would expand to by finger pressure, the tightness is probably better than 1/2 way in the case. Thanks for suggestion.

Has anyone loaded the new capsules? They appear to be nylon and are not fragile like the original ones. I just ordered 3 boxes a couple of weeks back when they were back in stock at midway. They...

There are shims available that push the cylinder back. Gotta make sure you don't mess up headspace.

What specific brand/model sight do you use? Does the front have to be replaced to match?
Thanks,

Did u have to replace the front sight to match? Also what is purpose between the 1.875" and 2.75" length?
Thanks,

They told me they don't make one that fits my gun with the screw spacing. Said I might be able to drill and tap another hole to match. I did find Marbles makes one for it, or at least appears to...

Will the lyman tang sight for the 336, 1894, 1895 fit the 93? It is factory drilled and tapped on the tang that are 1 1/8" center to center with 8-40 threads.

I use Smokes clear powder coat. No smoke and no leading at over 1300fps.

My PCd boolits are dropping at 250 and rl7 has been the ticket. Hitting right at 1700, no leading or pressure signs.

Some pawn shops now have XRFs also. If you have a smaller piece that will fit in the machine.
I haven't tried in 380, but a 124 is heavy for a 380, will not have much room for powder.
Don't remember, but it works fine. The boolit has a long bearing surface and allows you to seat deeper than a round nose boolit. Works in my p229 and s&w sigma, and glock 33.
