It's supply and demand. In this market I didn't consider $40/1000 terribly egregious. No bargain, but what is, except maybe Missouri Bullets? I NEED primers, and with no supply definitely coming, I take what I can. At least I plan on using them, not flipping them on the net for $70/box which I see o...

Never know where primers will turn up. I went to Gouger Mt and asked for SP primers. They laughed, but said they had some SP magnum primers. They had 3k of SP mag and 3k of LP mag. Now I do. They are Federal Gold Medal Match. Not a bargain I guess at $3.99/100 but now I have primers! Since I have po...

Got my coupon. Wasn't REALLY gonna buy anything, but found this .357 686 SSR, so I had to have it, especially since I have a few magnum SP primers left, plenty of bullets, brass, and powder.

I have the AA kit and it works great on a 19. Had only 1 FTF in several hundred rounds. Very light too.

I always tumble first so I don't run dirty cases thru the carbide resizing die.

Went to Gouger Mt in Lakeville today on a whim and got 2 lb of Bullseye and 1,700 Federal SP Magnum primers. They had some CCI SPP in strips but I left them. I can use the mag primers in my .38's and am considering cutting the powder in the .40 S&W and trying them in that caliber as well. I won'...

Every man is my superior because I may learn something from him.

I tumbled the brass for about 2 hours in a Thumlers tumbler with corn cob. Didn't think it looked too good, but all it took was a little wipe with a clean rag and it looks great. I don't care what the inside of the case looks like as long as there are no deposits inside. I didn't think the appearanc...

I used magnum primers because I have less than 1k of regular SP primers and was able to get 1k of SP magnums. I figured they'd be OK in the .38; I didn't want to use them for the .40's. I had to take whatever primers I could get, at least I felt that way when they were in front of me, the last box t...

Successful range day today! The 40's were great. Only 1 FTF from the Kahr PM40 and perfect performance from the Sig P229. I was very careful to be sure I had the 40 bbl not the .357 in it. The 38's even with the magnum primers seemed weak thru my Service Six, and not very accurate. Maybe I was just ...

I have a Taurus M94 which is OK. It's not a Smith despite that the salesman it was "Just like a Smith." I knew better.

I am neutral about it. I wouldn't brag about it like I do about my 28-2, which is a whole different beast.

For a .22 range gun it suits the purpose.

Well I loaded some .38's with Unique and the last of the 158g JHP bullets. I suspect they'll do fine, but I always check to see if the barrel is clear.... I did my first batch of .40 S&W with 6.1g of of Power Pistol and 180g FMC's. They are all 1.135" OCL and about .418 at the crimp, which ...

Thank you for the answer!

I have a Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbook Third Edition. In each recipe, in the blue shaded area above the load info, in the upper right corner are two number: BC: XXX and SD:XXX What do these numbers mean? I cannot find the answer in the book, but I suspect I missed something. I can post a photo ...

Thanks for the info. The 38's worked fine with the PP Powder but I bought some unique and that's going in the next batch. I have 500 cast bullets on order.
