RevolverJockey

I am probably in the minority, but I have probably loaded 80,000 rounds of 9mm and aside from culling out the .380, I have never looked at the cases. It may be possible to set up a case feeder with some sort of chute that lines them up and rolls them where you can just watch one fixed point? Lee

It does sound like maybe your cylinder could be out of spec. I loaded maybe 25,000 rounds for my 627-4 using Starline brass and Dillon dies and never had a round that wouldn’t chamber.

Kind of depends on which 627. If it was a 627-4 in 38 Super I would pay that because I should have sold the last one I had. I can’t imagine they pull as much as they used to in .38/.357 since the 929 came out unless someone was already heavily invested in .38 SC or something like that. I don’t know the value of moon clips these days as I have been making my own for a while now. Best of luck if you choose to get it. Lee

If you end up not being able to find something that works send me a message and I can make you some of whatever thickness you need based on a thicker version you have. To answer your original question, does going from .032” to .038” cause headspace concerns? No. Does it change the headspace? Yes. If the cylinder rotates without binding and you get reliable ignition, that is all you need. Lee

The hard part is you want to be spinning about the cylinder axis not the OD of the cylinder. If I didn’t have a lathe and wanted to try doing it I would put a best fit piece of threaded rod through the renter of the cylinder and spin it in a drill against a 1” belt sander. The more pressing question is why is it touching all of a sudden? Lee

Yeah I have tumbled (dry) loaded rounds before without incident. Another option would be to trade them someone whose forearm doesn’t care. I would be a subgun would chew right through that and not care. Lee

My local shop has one for $1,150 with a JM grip but otherwise looks stock. Looks to maybe have a few hundred rounds through it.

Good point. Also, a small pistol primer fits over the screw and can be used to fix an over shortened screw. Any guesses how I know?

I like to grab them lightly in a drill and shorten and profile them with a dremel cutoff wheel. A second option is a thin threaded plate with a flat file.

Before USPSA allowed 8 shot minor I would shoot my 610 with 200 Gr LRN going about 660 fps. If another revolver showed up to the match, I would shoot revolver, otherwise I would compete in production. I loved that gun. Lee

610 moonclips sit on the face of the cylinder. They can’t really be recessed because they need the clips to headspace, hold the brass and eject as both 10mm and 40 SW are rimless cartridges.

You can run it through a coffee filter and keep reusing the liquid then take it to most household chemical recycling centers (usually near the waste collection). I make peroxyacetic acid to dissolve the lead out of suppressors and take the liquid there labelled “lead contaminated acid” and then take it by the gallons and have never questioned it. Been doing it for years and that is lead acetate which can absorb through the skin. The stuff coming out of brass is much less hazardous. Another option would be just to evaporate off the liquid. There really isn’t a laymen’s way of making it ground safe. Lee

I would consider that acceptable. A lot of the Copper consumables I use at my EDM shop have gone up 37% since the beginning of the year. Lee

I made a larger pin tumbler. That is also an option.

It does just fine. It takes a bit longer, but works. I buy ferret bedding in bulk at the pet store. I also use my cement mixer to tumble 00 Buckshot in moly. Many uses.
