They go blue because they DO wear out their presses and Dillon has a no BS warranty and an excellent costumer service.

Different chemicals will give you different pressure levels. Pressure curve refers to pressure as a function of time i.e. X vs Y chart.

Doesnt S&W machine the cylinders then heat treat them? Probably just some slight variation from heat treating?

Lee data says COL of 1.125, so you are thousands off perfectly acceptable in my book. Edit: Just to clarify I would stick with Lee data, they tested their pressure at their stated COL if you go shorter than that you might have too much pressure.

You have some wiggle room, if you make the COL too short you might have pressure problems, make it too long and your bullet will wind up getting jammed into the rifling as it gets chambered. You did the plunk test with your barrel and it was fine I would not worry about it. I am pretty sure...

I would stick with Hornady for COL. How many grains is the speer gold dot?

Looks like some one stuck a brush or something through the cylinder and turned it a bunch. Wouldnt be surprised if it actually the same diameter as an open end of a cleaning rod.

Also I would suggest that you get a set of calipers, doesnt have to be fancy and expensive can be something like this: Frankford Arsenal Electronic Caliper 6 SS I would also get a bullet puller to check your work and examine mistakes.

First of all, start with a single stage press. There is always a use for a single stage press even if you get a progressive later on. I would also suggeste these 2 books: ABC's of reloading The ABCs Of Reloading: The Definitive Guide for Novice to Expert: Rodney James: 9781440213960...

Gem 250 seems to be very popular and reliable. Some RCBS electronic scales can be later upgraded with a powder dispenser if you want to go down that direction.

Because their costumer service sucks?

Yeah my "pro series" had to go back to the factory. Hammer hitting the frame and massive gouge in the forcing cone extending to the rifling.

So I replaced my 627's stock factory sight with a hi-viz fiber optics sight. I have that front sight style where the front sight gets locked in with the detent, partridge style is the name I think. The factory sight appears to be perfectly straight however the hi-viz sight is canted to the left...

Hey, I have been messing with my 627 ALLOT lately, just wanted to share my experiences. I was not too happy about the weight of the trigger pull so I ordered the Wilson combat spring set. I put in the Wilson main spring and the 12 pound rebound slide spring. With the 12 pound rebound spring it...

Oh take a carbine class, roll around in the mud in different prone positions as your holster/pistol scoop up dirt and mud they will stop all the same just for different reasons.

This man was attacked by over 20 people, some of them were armed. Just some food for thought for those that knock capacity. My main carry is a G19, I often carry my 627 with buffalo bore hot 357 magnums and two spare moonclips on me. 8X3

I have a 627 Pro, I procured Jerry Kuhnhausens manual. It is a bit different since he talks about forged hammers and triggers and I have MIM hammer and trigger. When I pull the trigger, the DA sear starts levering the hammer back but after a bit of pull the force/levering transfers to the...
