I once loaded a couple thousand rounds of 223 that I had switched powders on and had to disassemble. I used the RCBS collet puller and yes it took many sessions to do all of them. I don't think one could wear out the RCBS collet puller and I have collets in all of the major and minor calibers...

I have used the RCBS bullet puller for decades as my reloading eraser. it works great with rifle cartridges. For delinking handgun rounds I've found the kinetic (hammer type) works best for me as most handgun rounds don't have a lot of true diameter bullet protruding from the case. A couple of...

Rocdoc is correct, production has long since dried up. Lipsey's lists many products that I doubt that we'll ever see again, especially #1's. As one of their dealers, they probably list more items they don't have than the ones they do have. Right now, any rifle that does not have a black, OD...

All you need is a Glock drum magazine to complete the ppsh41 look. Bob

I've loaded thousands of 125 HAP bullets in 9mm, 38 Super and 357 Sig. It's the go to bullet for the 357 Sig. AA#7 was developed for loading 9mm NATO ammo by our friends in Jerusalem. The new Hodgdon 2022 reloading magazine(manual) now has data for AA and Ramshot powders as Hodgdon is now the...

When last I looked, Sports South had 7.62x39(WW) brass in stock, 50 to the bag. I've been using CFE Black with 123 SST's, although I have not shot lately due to work and less that perfect mobility. Bob!

Ruger does treat the 7-08 like a stepchild. They do offer the Go Wild camo rifle in right hand and with the 5 or 10 round magazine option. The left hand Predator has the rotary magazine and OD stock. Right now, none of these are available, at least at the distributor level. Bob! :cry:

The GP-100 10mm are 6 shooters. The 357 cylinder would probably be too small(not large enough in diameter) for the 38/40. The 401 PowerMag would be the perfect round for the conversion if brass was readily available. The 41 Mag or Special necked down to 40 would work as well. Of course, all of...

Well, I got around to loading the Peterson Brass with the load I mentioned in an earlier reply. The Peterson brass is really nice stuff, shipped in their 50 round plastic, hinged lock lid boxes. Of course, I had to make some AI brass out of some 270 range fired cases. I necked them up to 8mm/06...

4756 is/was a shotgun powder often used to load stout handgun loads. 4759 is most often associated with cast bullet loads in rifle cartridges. They are certainly not the SAME. The Lyman # 43 would have loads for both for their different applications. Bob!

I contacted Lee yesterday and they are still using the original AI design for their dies, while Hornady replied that they are using the SAAMI design for their dies. I'll most likely get a set of Redding or Hornady dies and be done with it. I may die before I shoot up that first 100 rounds loaded...

Bruce, the person at Safariland gave you the wrong info. The cylinders are all the same. I have a DeSantis thumb break that fit's a 3 "L frame or a 3" GP-100. I suggest you try the Holster Guide at Midway USA's website. They are my go to for reference. They probably have the holster you need in...

JFB, my rifle has the standard Ruger (Lyman) style folding rear sight with a U notch and the gold (brass) bead removable front sight as used on most of their other rifles. It reminds me of my first M77, a round top with sights in 7mm RM. I have not measured the barrel's muzzle diameter, but it's...

artey, mine IS NOT threaded at the muzzle. Yes, the blued bolt handle is nice, I just wish the wood had some figure in it. I have not gotten around to shooting it yet, but my Peterson brass has arrived. It would not chamber some of my 280 Remington(not AI) ammo handloads. Some reading and...

Yes, I wondered what the deal was on that one. I only saw it once on Lipsey's site, the day I posted the thread. It was gone after that. Bob! :wink:
