    Rainier--how to crimp? West Coast Bullet?

    Rainier says always taper crimp, but only a couple of taper crimps are available for .38 spl/.357 magnum. How are you experienced Rainier users crimping revolver ammo? I was going to pick up the Hornady 3 die set, but am now not sure.

    For Mark Freburg--AP setup

    Mark, The following is an edited version of the postings by "10fan" detailing the use of the Lyman expansion insert for the Hornady powder measure to free up a station. This allows use of both the RCBS lockout die (maybe redundant on an auto-indexer, but I'm the cautious type) and separate...

    Send your S&W Masterlock to the President!

    Let him know that we are aware that his insinuation that S&W has been neglegent is so much political posturing. I sent the following to the President: I am a social ****** and will now be voting Republican. Your agreement with Smith and Wesson once again shows the Democratic desire to...

    Bush advocates "smart guns"

    In the debate with McCain, Bush says he does not feel that requiring trigger locks is useful as compliance cannot be monitored. He says that "smart guns" will be the better solution. If he is not anti-gun, he definitely needs education. Or is he just playing both sides with realization...

    A Chance for Glory (?)

    A question and modest proposal for shoothers' forums. The Discovery Channel did a show on L.A. SWAT which included some footage on the shootout with Hollywood bank robbers wearing body armor and carrying AK-47s who tore things up a bit. This is the same infamous situation where the police...

    Tombstones

    Posted this on another board, but seems they never get out to the range--just sit around looking at their guns and debating theories. Just kidding. Maybe I can find some sympathy/advice here...

    MPro 7 for cleaning

    Anyone tried this stuff? My wife doesn't appreciate the glorious aroma of Hoppe's #9, so I am curious as the whether this stuff works without causing rust, etc., particularly if it gets into a revolver mechanism where I normally would not go. [This message has been edited by Guy B. Meredith...

    Disclaimer: This is not a commercial ad, but rather the enthusiastic support of this revolver aficionado. Sometimes I just can't avoid a little Barnum. The same people that gave away 5--count them, 5--Performance Center 627 V-Comp revolvers last year (I received one of them, so I may be biased)...

    Revolver Magazine Issue Alert!

    Okay, some of you have been asking where the revolver info has gone. So if you really like revolvers it sounds like the February issue of Handguns is for you. Publishers don't like revolver oriented issues as they feel they don't sell. Now you can cast your vote for more revolver coverage...
