#8 can of Unique and 8# can of Bullseye for $139 each.
S&W M60 3" with 158gr SWC-HP (Buffalo Bore) or my Kahr P9 with Ranger-T.
I found on the Hornady to get square you have to insert the pilot before locking down the cam.
I did 500 38 sp. cases yesterday. Trimming goes fast but deburring by hand goes very slow.

Seems like they need something to slick them up other than just bare lead.
I use a Hornady trimmer and it goes pretty fast once the right length is set. But, it can sometimes take a bit to get to that right length.

Today was my first attempt to replicate the Buffalo Bore 158 grain SWC-HP non +P load. I need something to practice with that is close but not any where near a expensive.
