Regular. I swap dies too often, and have too many dies for the breech lock to make sense.

I'm not seeing anything breakable on this one. I think my bench will come apart first.

LOL! Your kidding, right?   They're right beside the trustworthy politicians. :rofl:

That's actually one of my favorite thins about Ruger rifles; the trademark buttplate.

Oh man! This Classic Cast press is nice! I didn't realize how cheap the aluminum press felt until I got this one. I can definitely recommend it to others.

It also depends on how high your sighs are above the axis of the bore. The simple thing to do is to shoot it and see for yourself; not guess.

Assuming it is a lark, it demonstrates two fellows who desperately need something productive to do. It also shows their underlying character in my opinion.

Why not touch up the affected areas with cold blue?

My new press is scheduled to be here tomorrow, so life can go back to normal. :up: You go smiling Larry Potterfield! :D "That's the way it is."

I found 60 grain Sierra hollow points to be laserbeam accurate in a 1 in 9 twist barrel.

After I bought it, I had some problems with it, but replaced the extractor, and it's fine now. It shoots really well. My father has a 52 S&W, which looks like a 39, but has a steel frame, great trigger, and is chambered for 38 special wadcutters. It is truly a first rate target gun. I've never fired anything but fmj in mine. I don't know how it ewould feed hollow points.

A 39 Smith is C&R eligible??!!?? Damn I'm getting old! That looks like a nice one, and I would say you got a good deal on it if it was the one on GOC. The trigger is a bit different, but once you get used to it, they are good shooters.

I watch the Red Green show for all my plumbing and general home improvement tips.

They are sort of like Glocks; not only do the owners like them, they can't comprehend why everyone doesn't own them.

No. Cabelas easily surpasses Gander Mountain in every respect. So does Bass Pro.

I just shed a happy tear! :up: :up:   I did not know this.

I'm an ammo hoarder, and I ain't skeered of the darkest night out! :D

I'm still looking for a copy of "Safari". SO far I haven't ponied up the several hundred dollars people are asking for them, but I probably will sooner or later.

If you haven't read any of his books, don't cheat yourself, GET EM!   "Hell I Was There" is as interesting a book as I've ever read. I've read other people who said every word Elmer wrote was gospel. If half the stuff he wrote was remotely true, he was one helluva guy.

I understand. That is no doubt a fine piece of equipment you have. Like I said before, if I loaded that kind of volume, I would definitely be looking at one for myself.   I'm just not a tool guy. I want the least expensive thing that'll get the job done satisfactorily. Now I'll spend some money on a gun. I don't consider them tools. I know people who feel the same way about guns as I do about tools. Everyone is different.

I also just found a $20 off a $100 purchase code for Midway. That would have come in handy last night. :ugh:   I didn't think to ask David about a press.

They showed "out of stock" at Midway last night when I ordered the Lee press. I did consider it.

I understand. I wanted a single stage press. Does Dillon even make one?

That is the equivalent of the same part that broke on mine. If dillons were as good as everyone who cheers for them says, why would they need a warranty? Mechanical stuff breaks. Mine was cheaper, and broke sooner. That's pretty much what I would expect. Were I to load the type volume you do, I would definitely be in the market for something more suited to high volume loading like you have. I don't shoot competition, so the bulk of my loading is either load development, or loading a box of shells for deer hunting season. Although I do load large batches of 223, 30 carbine, 38spl, 9mm, 45 acp, etc. occasionally, I do most of that in the wintertime when I have quite a bit of spare time on my hands, and the slower pace helps to keep me out of trouble.
