Ughhhhh……. Sounds kinda familiar………… Wish more parents reacted as well. Sam Sackett

I take a half section of paper towel and squeeze on a dollop of Ne Finish car polish. Work it into the paper towel and then cut the paper towel into strips with scissors. Drop it in the tumbler on top of the medias and casings. Start the tumbler and go. Easy peesey! I haven’t changed my media in a couple of years. Edit: I probably run about 3,000 cases a year through mine. Sam Sackett

My favorite is 4.5 of Red Dot behind a 250 RF. Soft recoil and plenty good for our close targets. Probably doesn’t help you much unless you have some stashed away… Best I can do…. Sam Sackett

Looks like you tried to break the bullets out of the cake once it cooled. That won’t work. Take a fired casing that will slip over a bullet. Knock out the primer, then drill out the primer flash hole so that you can take a nail and slide it out the hole, leaving the head of the nail inside the casing. Melt the mess you have, then stand up the bullets in the lube and let cool. Using the “cake cutter” you just made, shove it down over each bullet and remove it from the lubecake. Use the nail to push the bullet out of the casing (cake cutter). Next bullet please. For the next batch, simply place a bullet into the empty holes in the lube cake and remedy. Or place the melted lube with bullets in the fridge. Once cooled, dump out the “cake” and push the bullets out the back side of the cake. Try not to break the cake, as this will tear the lube away from the bullets. Goog luck! Sam Sackett

Very nice. You might want to add a strap or something to keep the long guns in the slots. Sam Sackett

Now I understand. You stated it was Italian made. Rossi is Brazilian. Kinda threw me. I have an identical rifle. 24” octagon barrel in 45 Colt. Mine is super smooth also, and it came that way. Yours will make someone a great cowboy gun. &nbsp Sam Sackett

Who is the manufacturer of the rifle? It should be stamped on it somewhere. Sam Sackett

I have a 1997 JM model with a 24” octagon barrel. Bought it as a backup and it’s not been shot much. Still pretty tight. PM in interested Sam Sackett

Is this for original or New model Ruger? Sam Sackett

Worked on one of mine, not the second one though…… Sam Sackett

Good of you to pass on a great deal. I loaded a bunch on a Load All before I got my MEC. They work. Sam Sackett

I run a 92 and it doesn’t like short cartridges. I have to load to 1.545”, which is about 357 length. I use both 38 and 357 casings at this length with a 125 or 158 bullet and 3.0 of Bullseye. Never had any problems with it. sam Sackett

Yes, I have heard of this several times. Never heard if the degradation affected performance or leading though. Sam Sackett

Small pistol, small pistol mag and small rifle primers are identical in physical size. I have used all three interchangeably with 38/357 cowboy loads. I have seen no difference in function, no misfires or kabooms. With that said, I am not using light springs in my guns. That may draw a different result. I would caution using small rifle primers with normal or high speed loads. Results may not be the same. I don’t know what, if any, difference is from single different primers. I normally load 3.0 gratings of Bullseye. I am also shooting Ruger Vaqueros . I am not recommending that you use small rifle primers, just stating what I do. Sam Sackett

Thanks. I wear XL, so will pass. Sam Sackett
