Looks like a set screw from a blade pistol brace?

 

Thanks.  Don't have one.  

[Is this set screw from a 550 or a Square Deal?]

I found it in my bench. Not sure where it came from.  I've actually checked the schematics for both presses and all the set screws that I'm able to see are in place.  So maybe it's from something else.
 

 

 

[Digital powder scale]

My $25 scale is accurate and repeatable. I don’t recall brand. Not at home now.

Edit- it’s a generic version of this pocket scale. I have a beam scale to check it.

[Grip Tape]

Black athletic tape from pharmacy. Sticks to itself.

[New SP-01 - Very accurate except 2" to the left]

 
What do you think it is - a new S&W Performance Center revolver?!

Actually, one of the reasons I won't buy one. I've only seen it on a Taurus in person. I was somewhat reluctant to bring it up in a discussion about a Ruger.

I always wonder if the barrel is canted. Saw that at the range when a guy ran out of sight adjustment and I asked to have s look.

[Federal small pistol magnum primers?]

I have been using federal small pistol mag primers for over 20 years in 38 special for my 2.7-3.0g target loads of red dot, bullseye, wst, etc. This is because I was also loading 357 mag loads and did not want to bother with 2 different primers.  My Python did not always set off other brands of primers when shooting double action, the reason I went to Federal primers in the first place.  Back in the early days of the internet. Some people say to drop back a couple or a few tenths of a grain of powder with a mag primer. I wouldn't know, I never use regular primers for .38.

[shot my first reloads-.38sp]

I've been shooting Bullseye matches with a 38 Python for over 20 years. I don't own a chrono and have no idea how fast my bullets go.

[Adjustable pistol sights for picatinny rail]

I'm looking at a 1911 with a full length top pic rail for a red-dot, and it does not have the original sights. Does anyone know of sights that will attach to the rail (rear adjustable, Bomar style)?

[case lip getting smashed on seating, and a few other G35 related quest]

Fwiw I've had the 38 sp. sizing die do that on my SDB, which is very forgiving of tight belling and tipped bullets. I don't like losing the brass but if they still fit in the gun i shoot them during warm-up

[Powder Measure question]

I bought my square deal b around 1993. I don't think it's really ever not had powder in it. I guess I'm lazy.

I found solo 1000. Kerping it to myself [emoji41]

[Reloading Benches]

I had to get organized after picking up a 550. I had 2 SDBs on a kitchen drawer base cabinet. This is a combination wine cellar/loading den. I find myself with less wine and more ammo and supplies.
