    Rebate Online Update

    Make sure you're entering ONLY your zip code and last name. I don't recall being asked for a phone number or dealer name when filling out the form and giving too much information will only get you a message saying there is no record.

    Did S&W send you a confirmation email for the rebate?

    Milano handles rebates for other companies besides S&W. Maybe some of them ask for a phone number on their rebate forms. You only need to enter your zip code and last name.

    Did S&W send you a confirmation email for the rebate?

    Mine has shown the amount total since Friday when I first noticed it was there. It shows the entry date as April 23rd, I think about a week after I submitted it online.

    BG380 no manual safety not MA legal

    If you look at the Approved Firearms Roster, dated 03-2017 at http://www.mass.gov/eopss/docs/chsb/firearms/approvedfirearmsroster10-2016.pdf it lists only "Bodyguard 380", not any specific model. I think I'd try a different shop.

    Now Own A Bodyguard

    I bought one Friday. FDE, no laser. Took it to the range yesterday and ran 50 rounds through it. The trigger takes a bit of getting used to, but I like it. My only complaint was that it was dry as a bone, didn't seem to have a drop of oil on it. Now I need to get reloading dies.

    Help With Lee Presses?

    Check Amazon. They have a classic kit for $232.95 that includes almost everything except dies. The kit comes with the auto-drum powder measure rather than the auto-disk.

    Is reloading dying?

    If you're anywhere near Myerstown, you might want to check out Enck's Gun Barn. They're right on Main Ave and always have plenty of powder and primers whenever I stop in. They also have a pretty good selection of bullets, brass and reloading equipment.

    Good practice or no? Frustrated.

    If the Blue Kool Aid is what I think it is, not likely. I couldn't come close to one of those with what I paid for everything I bought. My frustration level has been greatly reduced because of the suggestions you guys have made, and I thank you all for that. I spent about an hour with it last...

    Good practice or no? Frustrated.

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, they're all appreciated. I swapped out the charge bar for the disk and I'm now getting much more consistent charges. I'm still a little leery, so I'm still checking every throw, but they're all coming out +/- .1 gr of my target weight of 3.8 using the...

    Good practice or no? Frustrated.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll fool with it some more tonight and try the disk. I'll have to check with the gun shop I found over the weekend if they carry the auto drum. They have more reloading equipment and components than anyplace I've been and most of the equipment I saw on the shelves...

    Good practice or no? Frustrated.

    I only have one o-ring in there. I'll give the disk a try later tonight.

    Good practice or no? Frustrated.

    Nope, no baffle. I took the hopper off, disassembled it and gave it a good washing and drying to make sure there is no oil residue that might be gumming things up. I'll give it another try tonight and see how things go.

    Good practice or no? Frustrated.

    I guess I wasn't completely clear. I tare each case on the scale before charging.
