I loved BE-86 and when I ran out I bought a pound of Sport Pistol from a local shop. I was really impressed and ordered 4 8lbs jugs. I'm down to about 10 lbs now, though I don't shoot much anymore due to the primer situation.

I think Unique smokes bad regardless of bullet. I use Sport Pistol with Hitek coated bullets and never notice any smoke.

I use RCBS dies in my 650. I just send it all the way and let the decapping pin resize the flash hole. Never any problems and they're fine after that.

I would state what bullet you are using. There is a big difference in charge weight of jacketed, coated or lead.

Get 100 of each and see what you like best. For me, it's a Summers 145.

I use RCBS dies in my 650 and haven't had any troubles. I can feel the decapping pin plowing through the small hole, but it hasn't hurt anything. However, I did grind a fine point on the pin.

It doesn't work for fertilizer. It would take years for it to break down. I think the reason people say to sling it out in the yard is to spread it so there is less chance for it burning. Modern smokeless powder is pretty resilient. UV will have more of an effect on it than anything.

It's the screw in the front of the trigger. Play with that adjustment and you'll have it.

Make sure the bullet is straight before you seat it. The bulge you see is probably on one side of the case but not the other.

I shoot 128 PF out of my 43 and 48 with no troubles. Not sure if theres any aftermarket options with recoil springs and rods.

Having a friend who is a machinist is nice!

I switched from Titegroup to Sport Pistol. The Sport Pistol is cleaner and MUCH cooler. 100 rounds of Sport Pistol isn't nearly as hot as 50 rounds of Titegroup.

I'd be interested as well...

The body of the powder measure appears to be made out of zinc. And you can't anodize zinc.

Mine just started doing this. I cleaned it really good and then hit it with some Armor All. I loaded about 600 after and it didn't give any problems. It seems like the inside of the funnel gets scuffed from normal wear and the cases don't slide in as easy.
