  1. Federal hulls can be reloaded a few times, but I don't realy like them. The Remington sts hulls are hard to reload. I had to drill out the flash hole because it was so tight my decaping pin kept getting stuck. Also had a hard time getting a good crimp, ended up trimming about 1/16 of an inch off the end of the cases. I have a brand new flat of them I don't shoot cause I don't want to reload them. Winchester AA are the best I've found. I started with 20/28 powder but that got to expensive and hard to find now I use Longshot.  

  2. I've found when shooting JW to use the pistols you have been shooting all year as your rifles, then those back ups and safe queens you haven't shot in years for your pistols.

    Made this one myself. Made the new cylinder and backing plate, put a firing pin in the hammer, sleeved the  barrel with a Dan Wesson barrel. The gun is a Ubertie, but was originally a .44 cal adjustable sight model. I had a welder at work fill in the area where the rear sight was, the front sight is dovetailed in. and cut deep enough to also hold the barrel so it can't move . The grip frame is different than a Colt, when I was shooting Duelist I found it hard to reach the hammer with my thumb. Shooting two handed is no problem. I think I have about 100 hours in this gun. Side note I once shot it at Tusco before I sleeved the barrel. I hit 4 targets every station, didn't do as well with my Colt. The guys were teasing me that my 38/44 was already more accurate than my Colt so I didn't need to sleeve it.

  4. I have a 600 myself, very rarely have I had crushed shells. Not all shells have the same internal volume, are both doing it? Have you figured the cost of reloading? I find I can buy new 20 and 12 ga for about the same price as reloading. 28 ga makes sense to reload do to cost of new shells.
