When you find a powder you like, buy an 8 pound jug if you can find it, maybe two.
Same thing with primers, buy 10,000 if you can find them. Winchester small pistol primers are available at Target Sports USA. Federal seem to be trickling in slowly.
I load Bayou Bullets 160gr RN to 1.2 with 3 grains of Clays. I use a .357 sizer die, then a 9mm seating die and a 9mm crimp die.
I found Titegroup to be way too dirty in my revo.

Somebody here sells a multi port comp that supposedly works pretty well.
I bought an extended cylinder release he makes and it's top quality. I think Revolver Supply sells them.
This year's Christmas / Black Friday sales were unheard of. Up to 50% of on lots of stuff.
I assume they needed to raise cash due to people loading up at the beginning of the pandemic, and not because they're so friggin generous?
I've got about 15 loadings on mine, and out of a thousand cases I've had maybe three or four split.
Some of the primer pockets are getting really easy to seat.
I'm loading a 160gr bullet with Clays powder. How many times do you guys load your brass?
