Which was a failure. Because on Monday I realized, that I was listed in that weekends match in a different category, and needed .44-40 instead. So I set up the press on Tuesday, cranked out some 400 rounds (really smooth, I really don't understand why a lot of people claim it's impossible to load "fragile" cases like that one on "cheap" LEE equipment).

On Friday/Saturday I shot my match, the ammo was perfect, all chambered smoothly, no misfire, everything's great. I finished terribly, but that was not the ammo's fault, just my lack of training.

Who's interested in how it looked like, if you have a Facebook account:

Very cool !
I may see me spring for 1 of those fancy camera deals yet . Many years ago I had a pair of binoculars with a camera built in . It was amazing then with a 50 picture memory at a huge 5 kilabyte per . Kodachrome 35mm film was still in production then too.
I think I just felt myself age again ......

Hi all,

Got the 38 WC powder coated, Purple, Blue and Red.

It makes a big difference when you use quality powder.
