The Lee FC die is available from Midway for $11.99
I think mine came with handwritten size on the package. Must not be their biggest seller.
I like mine. I sent it to T/C and had the "easy open" added.
I seem to recall SPEER bullets came 101 in a box, just in case one was missing or deformed. Long ago.
Diamond D Leather in Wasilla, AK, makes some very nice holsters.
For those that missed the Bob Milek article about the .357 Max., it can be read in a '17 thread on Singleactions. The thread on the .357 Max. is 7 pages long.
I miss Bob Milek's stories. He...
Thanks guys! I BO a small amount to fill in my stock for what I'd shared. It'll be nice to have what I feel is my safe minimum on the shelf again!
This is an interesting read as usual.
kerplode: Yes, a .480 Ruger and .375 Ruger both fit in my safe. They (at times) also keep me company at the range and in the field. I bought enough brass...

I saw one from Midsouth on RCBS sale for $117.89, regular price $130.99; unfortunately out of stock now. Midway has the RCBS mold in stock for regular price of $164.99
In terms of the .480 Ruger, I think picking on Starline is missing the target. HORNADY helped develop the cartridge with Ruger. HORNADY should be supporting the Ruger cartridges it helped develop! ...

Agree with hwilliam01, Starline looks to be $0.54 something a piece of brass and free shipping. If you want it NOW I have some NOS (old!) Win. brass for $0.70 each plus shipping.
I'd much rather...

Starline will be a good deal on .32WS brass. They list $0.54 per piece with free shipping. I had some excess Win. & RP brass and was selling it for what I thought would be replacement cost at $0.70...
I just checked the spec. sheet from my Hawkeye 375Ruger FTW. "Barrel Length: 22" Hammer Forged 1:12 Twist,"
There is a long thread on DW (Dan Wesson 357 Opinions) on page 2 of this subforum with information on contacting CZ-Dan Wesson (post 54).

Day before yesterday I finally found a pound of Varget. $52.99. The "can" I'd emptied was bought at the same store in Nov. '20 for $31.99.
Last I heard CZ still had barrels/shrouds for sale. "Jenny" is the lady that comes to mind that handles DW parts.
EDIT: I poked around the DAN WESSON FORUM and found this information in a posting...
Early DW .44 came with ported barrels and shrouds. Included were a ported barrel and a non-ported barrel with a ported shroud. The ported barrels and shrouds were reported to be a pain to clean.

Great post! My 480 Ruger has never had a jacketed bullet in it.
Long ago I tried barrel lengths on a pair of Dan Wessons, .22 and .357. Same frames, just changed to different barrel lengths on each caliber. I shot the 4" OK, the 6" was a LOT better, and the 8"...
For my .480 Ruger "fun" loads I use a RCBS 400 grain mold; almost all of my .480 shooting. I have a couple of boxes of 410 grain hard cast bullets from Cast Performance for serious carry.

I have a .480 Ruger. I have no Hornady brass for it. I have mostly Starline and a couple of boxes of FC used to top off my inventory. I "shared" with those in need a couple of times when I thought...

I understand. I owned a IH Scout II and a IH 3/4 ton 4x4. Both were outstanding rigs. I have a nice late Springfield and a nice H&R. The only one missing (edit: from the post WW2 Garands) is a...
