With the hammer all the way down and the cylinder removed. The firing pin should protrude through the recoil shield taller than a dime, but not taller than a penny.

Yeah if you're already using a wad, put it between the powder and the filler instead. It's just good practice to not have anything interfere with the powder burn. And cornmeal won't hurt your lead bullets.

Wow, I can honestly say this is a first for me haha. No cornbread, just the cornmeal. And use veggie wads to separate powder from the filler. I also use a Montana compression die for uniformity, and so bullet seating isn't messy.

Yeah, pretty sure they're Pietta hammers. The interchangeability between the bolts, bolt spring, and hammers are finicky. So I kept the trigger and just dremeled the safety arm off of it. Also, the firing pin needs to be filed down to pass the dime/penny test or else you'll have a lot of punctured primers.

It took a few years, but I finally made a matched set of completely blued, army grip SAA clones. One is an Uberti Jesse, and the other is a Cimarron Pistoleer. I got some blued hammers from EMF to convert them back to Sam and God's intended 4 clicks.

Ruger mark III. Disassembly, if it hasn't been broken in, is incredibly frustrating.

I run .38 brass in my revolvers (not magtech because for some reason it expanded a lot easier than other brands, making it extremely difficult to extract). In my rifle, I currently run 357 only because I had a large stock of 125gr lrnfp bullets that didn't make the COAL of .38s at least 1.415". That's my magic number to get my rifle to cycle rounds. I got a bunch of lead casting equipment to start casting a longer profile 125gr bullet that will cycle in my rifle, so I imagine I'll start slowly weening my rifle off of 357 and just compete with 38s to keep the loading table and cart storage simple. But I won't hesitate to get more 357 nickel brass for as good of a deal as I got my last 300!

Looks like Brazil got their supply chain in order

I will trade you one of my navy grip sets for your army grip set!!

I once racked a lever round out before firing, so I continued the firing order and when I got to the last target I quickly reloaded another round to finish the stage. If you can reload faster than 5 seconds, it's worth it to not take the miss penalty.

I'll be "that guy"... Uhmm... I wear a gun belt. So I just take the rounds out of the loops that are conveniently placed on my hips. And after 2 stages I'll top back off at my gun cart when I'm not grading/clearing/picking up shooter's brass for them. Obviously if your gun belt doesn't have cartridge loops, then yeah everyone above has shown their fancy doohickeys. Too each their own.
