    I use a lot of Lee equipment, but my first press was a Dillon. My first molds were Lee though, and I still have almost all Lee molds.

    FWIW, I love revolvers but I would not pay $600 for a Model 10; they are literally the most produced handgun in the history of handguns. I would look for a magnum S&W K frame if you have to pay that...

    My usual magnum load is straight out of the book, a heavy load of H110 and a 158, I think about 17 grains. It bulges brass. I still think that load is lighter than most factory 357 magnum, too.

    I would use the crimp groove and back the powder charge down. Keep in mind that load data are based on the bullet they use. If your bullet is different, you need to back down and test it yourself.
