I have always been able to lock my dies with the locking rings with set screws, set them once and unscrew them from the press without losing my setting,screw them back in to the press when I need them again and the settting is good to go. I use a Dillon too and buy lock rings with set screws.

LOL,I think we have all done that! If you have a vibratory tumbler hold the case against the side of the running tumbler and it will loosen the media and smaller case from the larger case.

Have to go with the do it all 4" .357 in stainless. It does some things very well and is capable of doing more things ok than any other handgun,plinking ,hunting,playing to self defense,no other handgun is more versatile. Ranadall

+1, more crimp causes the case to buckle and loss of bullet to case tension.Just remove the bell from the mouth of the case. Randall

Wonderful revolvers,I have one I bring out to play with sometimes but with the prices on these,especially the short bbls, going thru the roof it stays in the safe most of the time now.You have to shoot one to appreciate them. I really think if Colt brought back the Python and Diamondback now...

I have some IMI .45 auto 185 gr, jacketed target swc I would like to trade for some blue dot powder,say 200 pieces for a pound?Anyone near Pryor interested? Randall

I wouldn't refinish it. I would wipe it down with an oily rag and clean it after shooting. The patina I think adds to the value.

Rcbs standard dies

I have a 7 1/2 " redhawk in .44 and a 6" S&W .44. The redhawk is like a truck and the S&W is like a sports car. Indestructible or prescision?Both get you to where you want to go.

+1 for the Redding,i have the BR30 with both rotors.

On a piece of plywood in a back room where I can't hear it.

I believe the type of powder has more to do with uniform charges than the measure,the RCBS with micrometer allows the ability to record your settings and repeat later. In my opinion stick powder like 4350,4064 deliver the least uniform charges, next being flake types like unique,and ball gives...

I don't know where people get these 1911's that don't work. I have owned 8 and all worked great,still own 3. Only problems I have had has been to replace recoil springs and mag springs when they wear out,and one broken extractor on a Springfield 3". I am not picking on you Redmax,just...

The only time jacketed bullets in my .45's are used is once a year when I rotate my carry ammo for new,otherwise its lead only,1/2 pure 1/2 wheel weights cast mix.Lube is beeswax and lithium grease.

Another vote for the 3913!

I have to use RCBS or Lyman locking rings to use Lee dies on my 550,I get just enough thread to lock down.

I have done 30 Herret and 7-30 waters from 30-30,7-30 just run it thru the die and fireform,30 Herret; size,trim,fireform.Neither one was hard to do,I did split a lot of brass tho.Probably because I never annealed any.

Sounds like Glocked brass.Glocks have minimal support at the breech and let the brass expand too much.If you have a spare sizing die you may be able to modify it to a push thru and size the whole case down.If you are using Dillon dies try another brand of sizer.Dillon dies are smoother feeding...
