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.

Yes, cast Powder coated sized at .380.
Thanks!

Come on man, you could have dug thru the guts to find the boolit...for science!
Forum: Leverguns
My problem is I am using 3030 brass and it is too short. I want to seat the boolit out closer to the rifling.
I already have a manual and powered case trimmer.
Thanks,

Any issues with seating the boolit short of the crimp groove? Will I have enough purchase to keep the boolit in place in the mag tube? I am using a lee factory crimp die collet type.
Thanks,

Had to look up what the 6 flute countersink is and realized I have one. May give it a try if I can figure out a way to hold it. It is designed to fit on a drill.
I also have a 79degree muzzle...

Thanks for the tips.
I was thinking just that, round off edges on that stub. Will be a challenge to get in there and work on it and not bugger anything else up in the vicinity. I want to radius...

Not sure which powder measure you are using, but I have found the Lee Auto Disk drops low powder chargers better than the Powder drum type measures.
I agree with others, you are likely using too...

@W.R.Buchanan Any chance you can post some pics of exactly where you are saying to radius the snail cam and the hammer? Maybe before and after?
I did experience a jam the other day where the...
