Looking closely at photos of newer machines, Dillon changed the method of attachment! Some of the failsafe rods are held onto the bell crank by a "dog leg" on the end of the rod, while others are drilled and held in place by a cotter pin. Unfortunately, my SDBs are of the earlier style that...

Greetings! I'm looking for a part that I don't know it's name, and I can't find it in any of the Dillon parts diagrams. I just purchased a used Dillon SDB powder measure, that is missing the little brass colored clip that attaches to the bell crank that retains the failsafe rod. Surprisingly...

This is a lively discussion. I'm almost 68, and have been shooting handguns for a good 50 years. I can shoot both pistols and revolvers proficiently, but I am more proficient with a rifle. However, I am also disabled and the world we live in isn't the world that we grew up in. I like...

Excellent news. Prayers sent!

Greetings! I am soon planning on replacing some handgun and rifle sights. To the best of my recollection, there is supposed to be a unique direction for removal and installation, but I forget which way. In order to remove a dovetailed sight (when looking from the breech) is the sight...

I have toyed with the idea. Can it be used with the factory front sight without using excessive elevation on the rear sight screw?

I have an R92 357 Carbine in 357. I don't have a Browning M92, but have owned other Browning Miroku rifles that had spectacular fit and finish. If looking for a safe queen, go with the Browning. However, I bought my Rossi for shooting in the field, where scratches and dings are expected...

I am acquiring a bunch of the Norma 9mm 65gr frangible bullets for a stage of an indoor pistol match that mandates the use of frangible bullets. Because I could be as little as 6 weeks post-op from back surgery, I'm using my 380 instead of a 9mm Luger in order to minimize back rock from recoil...

The injury was work related, while on the clock.

Greetings! I have been in the work force for the better part of 50 years, and I've never had dealings with Workman's Compensation, until now. Please excuse my dumb question and the ignorance it highlights. Does Workman's Compensation actually compensate time lost from working while healing...

Let me help solve a mystery. The RCBS Cast Bullet #1 book was created while Omark Industries (the chain saw chain people) owned RCBS in addition to Oregon Chainsaws. Not long after the the book was released, Omark sold RCBS-CCI-Speer. Omark had a phenomenal employee discount with the RCBS and...

I've owned 6" and 8+" S&W's since the late 1970s. I fell in love with my first 3", a 36-6 in the early 1980s. This was my second 3", a 686+ 3"! Please count me in!

Greetings! Has anyone here purchased a program car through Enterprise Car sales? With my 2 teens heading off to college this fall, and normal activities, I think I have to become a 2 car family. Sadly (or maybe fortunately), a new car isn't in the cards. Has anyone here purchased a used...

This is an extremely difficult task. Honestly, I can't narrow it to just one, so it would have to be one of the following 4 that I grab as I'm running out the door! The top 4 would include my: 36-6 3" Chief's Target Special Either my 14-1 or 14-3 K38 6" Masterpiece, My 27-2 8 3/8" 357 Magnum...

Considering the discussion is focusing on poorly supported cases in a 10mm, how well do the S&W M&Ps support 10mm cases?
