Anyone have any updates yet? I have never been to the Cup, so if it takes a couple days before any 'known' results are available, please grant foregiveness. Regards to all.

Hey guys, thanks for the input. Tom, I am not sure how I would use the 625JM other than 'another' gun. Bowling pins may be a good spot to give the .45ACP some practice...? I am using the 686 in NRA Action Pistol and PPC today, although I just picked up a true PPC revo yesterday! Very nice find. Ignatz, I looked closely at the front sight pictured and it looks 'square' to me; I have seen this sight before, perhaps in Midway or Brownells and it does slope slightly downard towards the muzzle end of the sight. Perhaps that it was creates the illusion? Boats, having two of each of my guns would be great, just not a possibility at this time. I have been shooting NRA AP and PPC for about 5 months now and enjoy both disciplines. I do feel that I got a very fair deal when I bought my 686-6 and damn near feel guilty about what I paid for the 'new to me' PPC gun, a 14-2. The 14-2 came with a triset Aristocrat rib, slab sided barrel, underlug, ball-detent lockup, and an action job consisting of a set of springs. I took the gun directly to my 'smith for a full action job and plan to shoot it for PPC until I determine if that is a path for me. I really appreciate all the input - looks like the auction for the 625JM will end in less than a day...I am just not sure - loading for one caliber may make my life a bit 'simpler'. X

Hey guys, I have been reading as much as I can of late and feel quite lucky thus far. Based on insight gained from this forum, I now own a great 6" 686! Now, I found a posting on gb and wanted to get some input from all the shooters here. Two questions, is this a good '2nd' revo and two, is this a screaming deal? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=164181360 Thanks for any advice, suggestions or input you guys, and gals, can provide.

Vlad - does not come with powder measure; pretty much just the press itself with one shell plate. benos - awesome link! Can you educate a newer forum user to how I could execute a search and find such great info? Great site and I like the willingness for those with so much experience and expertise to share what you have learned with those of us still learning. xringdriven

Hey guys, I wanted to get some honest opinions on how to value used Dillon equipment. I am looking to start reloading, but have done very little in the past. I have a buddy 'willing' to sell me a bare bones 550b for $300. Is that price great? Bad? Fair? Second question, I want to load .38 Specials to start, how much money will I be spending on the accessories to get started? Powder, dies, shell plate, pins, scale, etc. Basics thoughts would suffice, but if time permits, please share as much as you are willing. I have been shooting 125gr JHP zeros over 5.1 of Bullseye... Thanks for all input.

Special thank you to toolguy for the sights on my 617 - they are great!

Got it guys...just a little slow. xringdriven

Hey guys, apparently I need some help. I thought this would be easy, but I took off the magazine cap and the spring is retained by a c-shaped washer type 'thing'. How do I take this off enabling me to mount my extended spring and tube? Any quick help would be appreciated! I can't find a thing on google vids or youtube. Thanks, Xringdriven....trying to 3-gun....
