And now for another chapter in the saga "As Rich's Reloading World Turns"...
Finally installed my RCBS lockout die yesterday. Received it couple weeks ago after 7 month back order. It checks the powder in the shell and prevents the press from progressing to the next station if the powder level is not correct (hence lockout die)
Works really well. Not sure how exactly, but after getting it dialed in, it certainly works. NO charge or double charge and that sum bitch locks up the press on the ram lift (lever/handle downward) process and will not allow the press to move.
made couple hundred more "sweet" 38 special rounds, 125FP, 4.8gr HP-38. This is a NICE load.
Now...if only I had some more primers.... :snicker:
alta:
does .38/.357 use small primers? Or large ?

I know I’ve mentioned I’ve switched all my handgun reload recipes to magnum primers. I am still working on two recipes, but they use large primers. So I don’t think I’ll ever use these regular ones. I went to CCI primers years ago because they burn cleaner than most.
I’ve been looking around a bit, and a box of 1000 primers go for about $30, if you can find them and before shipping. So Rich... I propose a trade :wackysmile: . This box of 1000 CCI 500s for a bottle of whisky, a 1.75L bottle of American Honey which goes for $53 after tax at the local alphabet store.

Done. (I sent you a PM before I saw your last post)
let me know how to arrange it. And to be fair...the price SHOULD be about $30 for 1000 CCI , but it's literally 10x that on GB right now. Not that I'd want to deal with that hassle for couple hundred bucks to try and sell something. Now if I had 100,000 primers on hand....I might be tempted.

Small Pistol Magnum....well that's what I used. SPM
The 38 goes regular SP....as the lighter load powders are easy to light. Actually, I used a light load in my 357 (same powder W231 or HP38) so I would think the SP would be fine for that too, but I used SPM
