I just sent my C&R and check on this one.
Just a moment...

.yes that is one of them. Talking with the seller I bought another P-W yesterday. He also had a Metal Matic P-200 he sold me for the same price..I only got the one head with it though. The first one will load rifle rounds of any size but it works better for pistol....neither has a lot of mechanical advantage for sizing The P-200 is mostly pistol and small rifle...Hornet etc.. I had a few Lyman Turrets. decent presses... The only one I really enjoyed using was the old 4 hole All American that also mounts to the bench top. In fact I just sold the last one I had. . If I really need to size tough cases I have a couple or 3 A2 presses...and one of the Big Max A4. It will load 50 BMG. It is a beast. I sized 50 cases for a friend last month. The one that bought my Barrett. His 50 cal Lee press had to go back to Lee
i have one of those too...15 years earlier with adj sights...but ir shools better than I can the 32-20 is still a good cartridge...hope you have fun with yours...oh...Lyman 3118 mould is a great cast bullet

I use to collect presses. Had a couple of Star presses, but other folks wanted them more than I did. Had a Herter's Turret press and it went the same way. My oldest press still extent here is a Lyman Tru-Line pictured. After I started reloading I picked up a Lyman Spar-T and used it. Had a Dillon Square Deal B, but did not care for it. Now I use a Lyman Turret as I stated.

My oldest press is an old Pacific C press from way in the past(30s). It came with an unbranded RCBS(1940s) adapter that turned it into an O press for swaging.. Upstroke of course. It had a swaging ram in it and I put a newer universal RCBS adapter ram in it(50s-50s/60s?)...Old Herters presses and Even a kinda rare Model 9...actually a Dunbar made for Herters and a super rare Herters that was essentially made for them by possibly RCBS...kinda like a Rockchucker. Starting to sell off many of the collectibles...getting an Orifinal Rock Chuck Bullet Swage press(essesntially an old A press) and die set bought from Fred Huntingdon in 1947...I too sold my old Star presses. but still have 2 Star sizer/lubers...going to put them on ebay soon. I also have the only RCBS powder measure I have seen in the old brown color...It has a non standard...present day size powder reservoir

Skeet,
We are hi-jacking this thread. Maybe we should start a thread on the reloading forum? May not be interesting to all here, but some of the folks that frequent that forum would be...........?

Have a 4” 57 ND coming in, and on layaway for a 25-3 and a 29-2 6.5” blue.
By the time the summer is out I’ll have a couple of Uberti SAA. They will be my first non S&W.
Got to slow it down!
I have a list, don’t ya know.

I got a new bipod and a Holosun magnifier to go with my Holosun red dot on my new AR.
Two pair for $27 shipped so they appeared at my front door.

At the last Hampton Va show a week or so ago. Last row, middle right table, I spot a second K22 Masterpiece from 1951 a year after my birth year. Not quite as nice as my first firearm purchase in years at a small auction near Roanoke Va. I picked it up so I have one to shoot. The first one will be a safe queen. Close to flawless for a 67 year old pistol. Finally figured out how to post a picture and it's (the safe queen) on my post about the last K22 Masterpiece (no model #). Missed that by a few hundred numbers.

My new to me Model 41, with a 5" barrel and rail on top. I took it out to the range today.
I stopped at my local gun shop on my way to the gym today to pick up a coupla 10 round ar magazines.
Unfortunately, I looked in the gun cabinet.
I walked out with the two ar mags, a Glock 43x, two extra mags for that and a box of ammo.

Don't you wonder how they know what you would be really interested in befoe you make it in the store?? A friend called me this AM and said he wanted to sell his 586 7 shooter... I wasn't interested...before he called. don't think he ever shot it...and I told him a month or so ago I had a 7 round quick loader for it...and I have all my bills that come due in April/May. Something has to wait

Although I didn’t get a factory letter with it, the previous owner said this 4″ 38/44 Heavy Duty was shipped from Smith & Wesson on January 29, 1947 to Gunning Wholesale, Wichita, KS. Chambers were lengthened to .357 Magnum at some point. Elk stag stocks.
I took it to the range today, and it is very accurate. Locks up tight, no end-shake, and that long trigger that some people think Smith should never have gotten away from is very smooth, and the pull averages just over 9lbs.

I bought a Ruger LW commander in 9mm. It was used and a good price.
I just acquired a Sig Sauer Romeo Gen II green dot sight for my younger Model 41 with the muzzle brake. I test fired the gun with the new sight and it was laying the shots in there.
Second suppressor.......Dead Air Mask........22 cal.
