@Trigger Mike I found the 3 mag pouch bag for less money on Amazon. https://a.co/d/200Z8Lb

Rover, generally speaking on revolvers you size to the cylinder throat, assuming the throat is larger than the groove diameter. If reversed that is a different story for a different thread. Your Ruger's should be fine with .429. Rifles should have the largest diameter that will RELIBLY chamber in a fouled gun, some 44-40 will chamber .430 when clean but not after a couple stages. In this case drop down to .429. Or just start with 429 in the beginning unless there is a problem. Sizing any lubed bullet down 2/1000 is no problem. Shooting undersize bullets with lube is a leading issue looking for a place to happen. Soft bullets like ours should be at least groove diameter or larger when they leave the cylinder. Shooting undersized coated should not lead unless the coating is broken. Accuracy may suffer, but probably not enough to matter at average SASS distance. Sources? outlawbullets.com I can't speak to coated bullets from personal experience but sizing down a 1000 or two shouldn't be a problem either. T Bone

Evolved to depriming as soon as I get home. Got a Lee APP Press I use for some. Hand held deprimer for others. In the Frankfort Arsinal wet tumbler. I just spread out on old bath towel and let dry. I'm seldom in a rush to reload so it may be a month or more until I get to it.

There are 2 different pouches. One with 3 pockets and one with 6. Here is the 3 pocket one: https://www.wiskurtactical.com/prod/GLTRBOOD.html Here is the 6 pocket one: https://www.wiskurtactical.com/prod/GLMP30BAG.html This is the one that there is only 1 left.

UPDATE: I just backed off the station 5 crimp die and then started it down until its crimp made it through the case checker. Here is a bullet after stage 4 (bullet seating with no crimp. Here is the new bullet with just enough crimp to slide into the case checker. Does this look like enough crimp to you guys? I loaded 60 rounds after this adjustment without anymore crinkles. Hopefully that fixed it. I did find station 5 die loose and not tight against the head like it should have been. Guessing it worked itself loose and I never caught it until now. I still plan on taking it down and doing a good cleaning of the plate and head area. Thanks everyone for the input. TM

I absolutely love the .44 Russian cartridge! When I had a pair of 1872 Open Tops in .44 Special/Colt/Russian I shot 44 Russia.

I agree. LOL!

NICE!

Beautiful rifle, La Sombra needs to buy it so one of us doesn't. LOL TM

I had a set exactly like that when I was a kid. Had a BB gun and a SS 22 rifle on them in my bedroom! To be clear, it was mid 60s!! (not 50s)

I'm quite amazed at the response from a couple posts on I made this morning on reloading shotgun shells with a roll crimp. My email and text blew up! So I wrote a quick article on my web page with way too many pictures and videos to post here. Hope it helps! https://rvbprecision.com/firearms/black-powder-shotgun-reloads-with-roll-crimp.html

I use my pen thermometer a lot on lasagna enchiladas and similar dishes.

Heehee, never had any of those problems vibrating in corncob and walnut. My lead levels are okay. It ain't broke so I ain't fixing it. Sorry, couldn't help it.

How about it!

They might if the description is correct that they were for the bay of pigs invasion as that was before 30 round AR mags were prominent and the m14 was still common.

Howdy Grumps !!!

It is said you can't fix stupid, but duct tape can muffle them ...

Quoting myself here. I sent Wiskur Tactical an email @Trigger Mike Here is the body of that email and their response is above my questions:

I need all the help I can get!! :)
