Re: Dillon 550

I have had my 550b a long time. At first I wanted what you wanted . I have loaded alot since then . If I still wanted those things I would upgrade to a 650 or an 1100 . I do a lot of different cartridges , and cannot justify a more automatic machine. I have learned that simple is better , and the 55...

Re: Bisley grips

Check your old "ordanary" grip with a magnet . Bet it's steel . It may be something is useful on a 9 1/2 single six to better balance the gun or add weight to a super or get rid of a Knuckle rap on a dragoon grip .

The only thing is , what about animal stopping power ? . you know the cougar , grizzly , pit bull or the 1200 pounds of angry pot roast ? shot placement is nearly everthing untill you get mauled , distance can be friend or foe , shoot fast and shoot acura...

Re: If leverguns.com were to headstamp brass, what caliber?

I figured that "LeverGun" with no caliber would be fine as a head stamp alone . 30-40 , 38-55 , 32 win special , and 30 WCF could be made from the basic brass and would sell in greater quanities .

Re: If leverguns.com were to headstamp brass, what caliber?

I'd like a "basic" case that bore the headstamp of just "leverguns" and made in 38-55 that way I could neck to 30-40 , 30wcf , 32WS , or 38-55 .
