That makes quite a bit of sense. 357 Mag cases are a bit hard to come by these days, so I already bought some 38 special a few months back in anticipation of adding a 357 revolver. Who knows, I may...

That makes quite a bit of sense. 357 Mag cases are a bit hard to come by these days, so I already bought some 38 special a few months back in anticipation of adding a 357 revolver. Who knows, I may...
Going to shoot primarily 38 Special and mix it up with a bit of 357 Mag every now & then. I've already started reading up on the various bullet choices there are for those two. Caliber is the wrong...
Yeah, the wood grips in the classic S&W style were a must have and the 6" barrel was preferred. The Hogue grips are great if you're shooting quite a few rounds of .357 in one day, but just don't...
I finally found the 686 I was looking for & it arrived today. Very happy to be a wheel gun owner.

You might want to try ETBrass.com, they have been one of the few suppliers that have had components in stock recently.
Please post a pic of the display with all of the cases in it when you've completed it. I'm curious to see how it turns out.
Welcome and glad you joined. There are a lot of very experienced contributors that post and are willing to help out and answer whatever questions you have.
Good for you! Here's to many enjoyable years of owning that awesome pistol.
Oh, and joining the "cool kids" club, too. :smokin:
Heading out to a show tomorrow with a few $s in my pocket. Would really like to acquire my first revolver and have a picture to add to this thread. Interesting opinions from all of you as Ruger had...
Appreciate that tip, Mauser. Hadn't considered the blocks for that purpose, but it makes a lot of sense.
The Grizzly 1-2-3 blocks arrived today, thanks to RustE for the helpful link! Never heard back from the inquiry sent to WEN. After letting the blocks warm up to room temps, I found that the...
Heard from a friend that has also been looking for a press that Midway emailed him that there was stock arriving.
Appreciate the options, RustE. Waiting on a return email from WEN as to the accuracy of their blocks before I make any decisions.
Thank you for the update and what you did to fix the case scratching problem.
RustE-
That was the exact information I was hoping that someone on the forum could answer as I could not find it either, including multiple searches for it in alternative sources than the 2 sites...
A shipment of 125 grain JHP from Montana Gold is on it's way and is overdue to be delivered by the USPS. A set of the Lee 357 Sig dies are going to be used for loading my first batch of that...
Case gauge time.
Spent a few minutes re-measuring a sample of the 9mm I made last week with both calipers. There was a consistent .005 difference in digital vs the dial, with the dial measuring...

Purchased a used Mitutoyo dial model yesterday for $45. Going to crank out a few 223 rounds today and use both the new-to-me dial and the existing digital on them for comparison.
Yeah, Mitutoyo seems to be the preferred brand on the forum. Those will have to wait for the next budget cycle (or 2). There are plenty of 9mm components that can keep me busy until then,...
Both points you make, JTD, are ones that I have noticed. That's the main reason why an upgrade to the trimming equipment is happening now. Eliminate potential issues with superior components. When...
Thank you, Josh, your answer is the information sought regarding caliper use. The "touch" is in process of being learned with less than optimal equipment. My concern was if the low end calipers...
I have a question regarding the caliper that I currently use for those that have a little more experience in using that tool. Prior to this, my experience with using a caliper was limited, so I am...
Tonight we went out and shot 20 rounds of my first test loads of 9mm and survived to post about it!
Sincere appreciation for all of those on this forum who have contributed their knowledge and...
Thoughts and prayers for your wife, may she have a full and speedy recovery.
