There should be a small roll pin that holds the firing pin extension into the bolt. (Green arrow) I do not see this in your photo. You also do not need the coil spring around the firing pin. The smith that designed the system recommended removing it. There is also a small tool to install and remove the roll pin that came with the firing pin. The small end fits inside the roll pin so you can align it in the hole in the bolt.

You have one of those custom one-piece firing pins that goes all the way through the extension and the bolt. It is nothing like the stock system. I have one of those in my 73.

AHH you are not concerned about the sizing portion of the die. You just want a roll crimp. The crimp is applied by the collar under the adjusting screw. Red arrow. The carbide ends where the green arrow is pointing. If you have a lathe I would take a parting tool and cut off the carbide portion of the die. Dress the end to remove sharp edges and then just adjust the crimping portion of the die that you have left after cutting off the carbide. With the S&W you may have to remove even more off the die body if you can't get a good crimp but that would be an easy facing operation after the carbide section is removed.

Why bother? The S&W is so short the factory crimp die would do little if any good. PLUS if you shorten the Long/Magnum die you will destroy the carbide sizing portion of the die and what you will have left is just a bullet seater.

Yes most Ubertis have a "standard" 3/8" dovetail. However most sights will require some fitting. The fitting should be done on the sight and not the barrel.

There have been at least 50 posts on this in the past few months. Trail Boss is made in Australia. Just a couple of weeks ago one of our Australian pards posted this response from ADI "Trail Boss, AR2205, AR2206(H), AR2207 – These propellants only account for a small proportion of our annual demand."
So in industry speak "We are working on getting this great powder back to the market soon" means they don't have any, aren't likely to have any any time soon if ever, but just in case we are stringing you along.

You're not going to get rid of MY category!!!"...said he...or...something like that.
Hell there are still people griping about the abolition of Modern.

There were 116 offered for EOT. This is a result of SASS's category matrix. That is nuts. 52 is still too many. The point of the thread is to reduce the number of categories to something that is reasonable.

Don't forget when shooting those 78 grain loads you are still supposed to make power factor. 740 fps does not make it. 771 is right at 60. Of course no one seems to chrono loads at matches anymore so maybe it no longer matters.

Here's my slight tweak with 52 categories
That is right back to where this thread started. Only took ten posts to go in a complete circle.

A picture of the receiver and hammer area would be very useful!

That is one of the reasons Lee equipment costs less than RCBS, Hornady or Dillon. JB Weld and a pinning the ball to the shaft is a good solution.

King Snake in Arizona makes them. Bullets by Scarlett and others sell them. Here is Scarlett's site.

There is no best online source. There are online sources and you have to monitor them. Supplies come and go out of stock very QUICKLY. You need to bookmark several and check them frequently. The chances of anyone having powder, balls and caps all at the same time are remote.

I thought I'd like them. But the grip seems too round and I can't always get a good grip on them
Same here. I bought a pair when they first came out but they are way too small and hard to hold and I have fairly small hands. The originals had a much more comfortable grip.
