OP, your story sounds familiar. I was competing in Bullseye, right handed when my right eye experienced detachment. Ended that. Did the hold over to the left till the left detached. Fortunately for...
So you will know how crazy I am, I volunteered for the draft in 66. My hobby back then was shooting so the Army made me a medic. Spent a few months "in country" helping set up the 29th evac...

Years ago I shot benchrest in the light varment class. I used a Sinclair Int. Arbor press, Wilson dies and a Harrell Powder Measure. Produced very accurate loads and rewarding groups. Of course the...

I have the hand issues. Finally parting with my SDB this coming Monday. You're right, it does turn out great ammo.l would miss it if a 650 wasn't on the bench. Gotta admit I am thankful.
Consider the SIG 365. Mine is the most accurate pocket pistol I've owned. 10 rounds, comfortable to shoot and fits the type of clothing I normally wear. Fits in the front pocket inside a sticky that...

To stop the "shakes" I bought a piece of 1/4" boilerplate. Problem solved......

Looked at the "fix". I'll pass as I currently use a dental pick and resolve waterfalls in a few seconds.

I have the case waterfall issue occasionally. My 650 is mounted on 1/4" boilerplate so I'm wondering if vibration is really the issue. A call to Dillon resulted in advice to slide the metal plate in...

JM, were you able to get either of the units I sent you functional?

I'm able to distribute pressure across more of the palm of my hand. Less overall pain in this old guy's hand. So, the Dillon roller handle is much better for me.

+1 never was able to "learn" the techniques. Gave three of em away. Thankful they are useful to some people, disappointed I couldn't make them work for me.

Take us some pics of the rod. It might help.

As a result of the great warranty Dillon hold their value better than most. Regardless of age they often sell for 80% of new. IF all the original box contents are there it doesn't seem like a bad...
It is sad in several ways. IF, Mr. Bang was really shooting factory ammo then I'd be really interested to know which brand, type and caliber. IF, Mr. Bang was shooting his reloads and could not...
I've heard the issue of "killer reloads" for years being an issue in court after a successful defence. I have never seen or heard of an actual case where a prosecutor/civil case included this for the...

Lloyd, you just posted my exact experience. My 550 won't be gone till i am.

I'm wondering why the MBF funnel wasn't supplied with the purchase. My MBR feeder came with the feeder.

Imho, sort before breaking. I recycle all berdan brass to make a little coin.
I have a little experience with bullseye 1911s. Every Smith doing my triggers would advise me to pull the trigger back before releasing the slide. What I was told was this practice prevents the sear...

It is the beginning of a great system. IMHO, buy the RL, store those systems you don't want to use now. Later you may choose to use all of the goodies and will not have to pay the upgrade pricing. If...
The first one I bought was a 5". Locked it up in a Random Rest and it shot better groups than my Les Baer. It has never skipped a beat. So, I picked up a Commander and it is great too. I'm keeping...
