armthepopulace.com. WOW, they got some high priced ammo, but then again, with the shortage, if you want it--you gotta pay for it. I see Powder Valley is out or low on most primers and powder for handgun. That is a bad sign.

I have that gun, got it NIB 11/03, It has the JRD prefix. For 9yrs it has been one of my range beaters with about 22,000 rounds through it. No issues, none. Still shoots better than I can hold, frame to slide is still tight as new. It has MIM parts, only the FPS needed replacing but never...

How did you do that?? I can even see the recoil spring inside the thing :D

I bought a 67 about 1 1/2 yr ago it has the UNCLE MIKES, not not as nice as the new ones for sure. I noticed the picture of the 67 on the website shows the new grips but on the 360 it looks like it shows the UNCLE MIKES ? I bet it will be a while befor the S&W store shows them.

The Buffalo Bore site has some info,with a 2" on their ammo. Really not much help, but shows a comparison. ammowww.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=293

In the product manual, page 5, has the detailed instructions for RCBS dies. I don`t have a set of RCBS 38spl dies, mine are LEE 4die set, so different to set up. I do have a 40s&w RCBS die set, and the instructions were dead-on. Congrats on your new press, had my 2000 for 10yrs now, this month...

Plunger spring too loose?? no lecture from me:) Remove the main spring housing, with the hammer at full cock, move the safety up to half way and wiggle it out, it may be hard to do as he may have damaged your sear and it is binding the safety. If you are real lucky, and the safety and sear look...

More than 130,000 rounds loaded and 9yrs of use, I am sure it is the easiest, most user-frendly progressive out there, having tryed the red and blue machines. I really didn`t like the primer tube thing. The PRO 2000 is really a great press and way under-rated.

Bought mine 11/03, so almost 8yrs and a little over 16,000 rds, no issues so far and as accurate as I can hold. Sure glad I hung on to this one, Billboard and all.:)

For a second thought check out Buffalo Bore Ammunition | Strictly Big Bore - Strictly Business they have some interesting info on the 380. My everyday carry (P232) has been loaded with their 100gr lfp, reliable and accurate.

MASTERCAST is top notch, I been buying from them for about eight years, they take great pride in making their products.

Graf & Sons - Revolver Have you looked at these,I don`t like the "MIKES" on my "67 They might fit the hand better.

Just taking a break from loading 148gr wc for my "67. I have LEE dies and get good looking/accurate rounds, adjust the dies right and you can`t do better. good luck

If no luck elsewhere, try calling BOWENS, they may find some for you + C A T A L O G +
