Bullets can be sized down about as far as you want to go. I have sized .457 to .452, just takes a little more effort. Unless ya go one of them that's older than that with a larger diameter fp extension. kR

AZ sun does also, just takes longer. kR

I could probably part with some brass and bullets. If you let me know what size bullets you prefer. If you want to talk to me PM me your cell# and a good time to call. kR

I haven't needed to do that. The only rounds I do that on is LR rifle loads and then only once in every 5 or 6 firings.

I wet tumble with spent primers in place. In the winter they go into the oven at 245 for at least a half hour. Summer time back yard in the sun, it doesn't take long. The brass will be very hot to the touch. I haven't had a stuck primer for at least 6 or 7 years. I recently tumbled about 10 gallons of brass in a two week period. kR PS I have wet tumbled with Dawn and Lemi Shine a few brass inadvertently with live primers everyone went bang when dried out.

I've had some misfires with Rem primers and discovered that they are a little harder to seat with a 550. I checked and had about 10% with primers not seated all the way. I talked with another shooter that used Rem primers and he had the same problem. kR

We had a stage last weekend Nevada sweep starting in the middle. Loved it. kR

More likely a couple of brain cells. kR

When the others are finished would be fine. Let me know before you send anything as I want to be home if you ship them. We are going to Kansas and then Oklahoma state. kR

Boggus I would take one of the blued bushing sets. kR

Why u stickin those pistols up in front of ya face? kR

I bought some from a shooter who was getting done with shooting. It works fine and seems to be a very nice powder. I would buy more if I had the chance. kR

Been there, done that. kR

I use Red Dot, Imr red, 700X, Alliant X-lite. All around 12.9 to 13.2 grains with 3/4 oz shot. All seem to be very close to 980's. kR

Miroku has been that way since the first ones came out. kR

I would have notified ATF and Law enforcement immediately. kR

Missouri Lefty does not double cock. kR

The main springs from Taylors are not as heavy as OEM and you have to do little if any spring reduction to make them serviceable. I bought the extra length fp's for our rifles. kR

That, right there, says more than I can put into words. kR

I go to the local (65 miles away) exchange once in a while and there prices are usual higher than what I can buy stuff elsewhere for. kR

The shorter the barrel the less time it will have to rise. In one of the rifles I have a 205g bullet moving at 2500 fps will be 18" high at 100 yds, compared to a 147g bullet moving at 2900 fps. So yes, how much difference depends on barrel length, velocity etc. kR

My Mernicle rig was built for NM Vaqueros. I use it for Uberti, Pietta, NMV and old model Vaqueros. I had to use a little holster lube for the OMV's but every thing else works fine. kR

Several things you can check. The bolt face-make sure it has not become peened by many primers being hit, it may be that the fp hole is closed a little. Firing pin channel- clean it with a good cleaner and a pipe cleaner. Also check the fp spring it may be a little stronger than needed. Mainspring may be weak from years of use. Check the hammer to make sure crud is not between it and the frame. FP extension- make sure it is clean as well as the channel it runs in. Check to make sure your primary main spring screw is tight. ALL of these parts have to be free of crud and properly lubed in order for that little primer to go bang.

Headlights? kR
