I'll post that tomorrow. It's at home and I'm in the office today.

This is a 327 nightguard with less than 75 light .38 rounds fired. No 357 Magnums fired in this gun. Comes with original box, papers and all misc. from original purchase. $650 FTF in Central Virginia. I'd consider shipping FFL to FFL but I need some help with the process. I also have a nice...

I have a 327 Nightguard that seems destined to be sold. I really like this gun but I seem to never shoot it and have too many other items I need/want to just have it sitting around. All of the prices I'm finding are for new ones. Mine is almost new with about 300 rounds downrange. Any help with...

I have never had the smallest issue shipping to S&W service or receiving from them. It's all stated very clearly in the e-mail you get from them (or the letter they sometimes send as back up.) They SPECIFICALLY state don't take it to Kinko's or a drop box so what's confusing about that? You...

UPDATE I worked with my 610 without the UltraDOt Red DOt and still saw really unacceptable groups at 15yds. with a rest so I sent her in with, hopefully, a clear explanation. FedEx just brought it back ( standard return in a little over one week... nice!!). Here's what they did: • Replace...

I was in a gun store a few ours ago and the shelves were full of whatever primer you wanted.

Fixed I did what the service rep suggested. I hit the powder funnel with some ScotchBrite and the brass residue lines are completely gone. He also suggested that using brass that had been reloaded more than once would be easier- less "sticky" on the powder funnel. I tried a few that are on...

That funnel has had less than 200 rounds loaded with it...

That's an interesting idea. I never thought of that. I could have saved myself some money if that works.

I just called Dillon. Extrememly helpful service... never felt rushed. The fellow I spoke to seemed to know exactly what was going on and he said that this was epecially common with the larger calibers. He said to get some ScotchBrite and work the funnel with it. He thought this would provide...

The die does have marks on it. Here's a close-up:

I've loaded .38 and .40 S&W in my 550 and didn't have this problem. I just bought components to load 45ACP. I'm having an issue on the powder die where the cases are quite tight and I have to really pull up hard on the handle to get them to disengage. These are mostly Federal and Winchester...
