It also depends on how high your sighs are above the axis of the bore. The simple thing to do is to shoot it and see for yourself; not guess.

Assuming it is a lark, it demonstrates two fellows who desperately need something productive to do. It also shows their underlying character in my opinion.

Why not touch up the affected areas with cold blue?

My new press is scheduled to be here tomorrow, so life can go back to normal. :up: You go smiling Larry Potterfield! :D "That's the way it is."

I found 60 grain Sierra hollow points to be laserbeam accurate in a 1 in 9 twist barrel.

[URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/SW%20family%20photos/IMG_1399.jpg.html][/URL] I have a 39-2. After I bought it, I had some problems with it, but replaced the extractor, and it's fine now. It shoots really well. My father has a 52 S&W, which looks like a 39, but has a steel frame, great trigger, and is chambered for 38 special wadcutters. It is truly a first rate target gun. I've never fired anything but fmj in mine. I don't know how it ewould feed hollow points.

A 39 Smith is C&R eligible??!!?? Damn I'm getting old! That looks like a nice one, and I would say you got a good deal on it if it was the one on GOC. The trigger is a bit different, but once you get used to it, they are good shooters.

I watch the Red Green show for all my plumbing and general home improvement tips.

They are sort of like Glocks; not only do the owners like them, they can't comprehend why everyone doesn't own them.

No. Cabelas easily surpasses Gander Mountain in every respect. So does Bass Pro.

I just shed a happy tear! :up: :up:   I did not know this.

I'm an ammo hoarder, and I ain't skeered of the darkest night out! :D

I'm still looking for a copy of "Safari". SO far I haven't ponied up the several hundred dollars people are asking for them, but I probably will sooner or later.

If you haven't read any of his books, don't cheat yourself, GET EM!   "Hell I Was There" is as interesting a book as I've ever read. I've read other people who said every word Elmer wrote was gospel. If half the stuff he wrote was remotely true, he was one helluva guy.

I understand. That is no doubt a fine piece of equipment you have. Like I said before, if I loaded that kind of volume, I would definitely be looking at one for myself.   I'm just not a tool guy. I want the least expensive thing that'll get the job done satisfactorily. Now I'll spend some money on a gun. I don't consider them tools. I know people who feel the same way about guns as I do about tools. Everyone is different.

I also just found a $20 off a $100 purchase code for Midway. That would have come in handy last night. :ugh:   I didn't think to ask David about a press.

They showed "out of stock" at Midway last night when I ordered the Lee press. I did consider it.

I understand. I wanted a single stage press. Does Dillon even make one?

That is the equivalent of the same part that broke on mine. If dillons were as good as everyone who cheers for them says, why would they need a warranty? Mechanical stuff breaks. Mine was cheaper, and broke sooner. That's pretty much what I would expect. Were I to load the type volume you do, I would definitely be in the market for something more suited to high volume loading like you have. I don't shoot competition, so the bulk of my loading is either load development, or loading a box of shells for deer hunting season. Although I do load large batches of 223, 30 carbine, 38spl, 9mm, 45 acp, etc. occasionally, I do most of that in the wintertime when I have quite a bit of spare time on my hands, and the slower pace helps to keep me out of trouble.

I prefer Lee dies to other brands. I dislike needing an allen wrench to adjust a die, and Lee dies are the only brand I've yet to break a decapping pin in.   I didn't say anything about rolling in money, but we are more comfortable than when we first started out, as I expect most people would be.   As for the Dillon. I still have no desire for a progressive press. A single stage does exactly what I want.   I got my money's worth many times over out of that press. I was joking about "Cheap Lee stuff". Someone usually chimes it with it in any thread about Lee, and I just beat them to the punch. Lee makes inexpensive reloading equipment that just plain ole works. :up:

No, it was the metal piece that holds the linkage, ram, and handle together. I'm not sure of the proper name for it.   I believe they offer a 2 year warranty. The press frame is also very worn where the ram goes into it. It's just worn out all the way around, but it's sure given good service for a lot of years.

Well I just wanted all of you to know that I'm tickled with the deal and the effort you put into it. It sounds like everyone else is as well.   I was kidding about an AR10 receiver. I have no interest in one at all.

Cheap Lee stuff! :D It was about $35-$40, only lasted 20 years, and resized, reformed, and reloaded untold thousands of cases. I am upgrading to a Lee Classic Cast press this time instead of the cast aluminum one I'll sadly leave behind.   I feel I got my money's worth out of it. Oh, I know that if I'd bought an expensive press to begin with, it would likely still be working. At the time, we had just married, and money was tight. If it wasn't for Lee products, I would have missed out on several years of reloading and shooting, waiting until I could afford the pricier stuff. The rest of the Anniversary kit I bought at that time, though well worn, is still in operation.
