650 mounting concern
Larry Burchfield replied to scribble's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Like the man said it can be done. Mine is mounted on a flat surface because I can't use a strong mount. But I had to make a few modifications first. Larry -
For what it's worth there has been some health issues with some people at the Red River Army Depot that have been using large amounts of Break-free in there jobs. I can't remember what exactly but I''ll find out and post it here. Larry

Are these primers safe to use?
Larry Burchfield replied to GlockSpeed31's topic in General Reloading
I'm using some right now that are at least 10years old. I've had them stored in the large MTM sealed containers with that moisture stuff for years. I owuld probably used the ones you have in my practice ammo first and if I didn't have any failures I would use the in what ever ammo I wanted. IMHO Larry -
Advice I wish I had.. tumblers
Larry Burchfield replied to Ground Loop's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I've used the Midway brand vibrating tumblers (I've got 2 in case I have to send one back for repair) for years without very few problems. I also use corncob media with New Finish car polish to treat it with. You can use about any kind of liquid polish as long as it doesn't have any ammonia in it. Larry -
Oldest RL1050 press?
Larry Burchfield replied to Aircooled6racer's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
You're more than welcome. I just love to see a happy face. Larry -
I think that it"s just like the circle of life. One usually starts with a revolver then moves to the auto's and get wise and moves back to a great revolver. Been there done that! Larry

Thanks guys, I check it out best I can. When I bought it I was told that it just sat in the safe but when I got it home I pulled the side plate to see if it had enough lube and it looked like maybe someone had worked on the trigger or put in a spring kit with a scratch awl. I have what I call a matching set. A 4" 66 and a 4" 67. Just love both Larry

Removing a stuck bullet from a revolver barrel?
Larry Burchfield replied to Revopop's topic in Revolver Forum
You must be referring to those who are better IPSC shooters than handloaders, right? That or let my son do his own reloading. Either of which can be trouble. Larry -
Removing a stuck bullet from a revolver barrel?
Larry Burchfield replied to Revopop's topic in Revolver Forum
I thought all good IPSC shooters carried squib rods. If you don't you need to because if you shoot long enough you will. My son ruined a schuman 40 barrel with a squib. The problem being he was using precision black bullets and the primer drove the bullet in the barrel just far enough to let a live round chamber. When fired it split the 40 barrel right down the top. You need to use at least 5/16 brass rod and cut it about 2 inches longer than the barrel. Brass rod can be picked up at any steel yard or machine shop and is well worth any money you have to spend on it. Larry -
I have a model 67-4 that cylinder sometimes hangs up when firing or dry firing. When it does this you can release the trigger and pull it again and it seems to work fine. Can you guys help me or do I need help from a Pro? Larry

You can also try polishing the inside of your powder measure with your dremel tool and felt pad. This will help some and always try to keep the same level of powder in your measure. Also if your drops are +/- .01 of a grain it shouldn't effect you that much. Larry

My 550 used to give the feeling of sticking because the sizing die was set to low or sometimes if using a taper crimp and applying a heavy crimp. Larry

Dillon 550 non B
Larry Burchfield replied to ruready's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
You can't go wrong with the 550. I converted a 450 to 550 except for the interchangable head part and used it to load 38 super for years. I have a 1050 now but very often I wish I had my old 450/550 back. I don't have a clue as to what a used one is worth. Larry -
Will Small Rifle Primers work as Small pistol primers?
Larry Burchfield replied to DS12's topic in Miscellaneous BEginners
I've used Winchester Small rifle primers in my 38 super and 40s&w loads for years. You can sub in Small mag pistol primers if needed. If the primer pockets are a little large use Federal primers to get a few more reloads out of your brass. Also the reason for using the small rifle primer is because of the pressures that the 38 super must work at and I'm sure the 9mm major is the same. Larry -
powder drop
Larry Burchfield replied to Good Time Gang's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Thats the one you want Larry -
I like to use N320 behind the 180/185 Precision 40 bullet. You don't seem to get as much smoke and if you change to a jacketed bullet you can use the same powder. Larry

DOUBLE TAP CHAMPIONSHIP
Larry Burchfield replied to scorch's topic in Match Announcements - Pistol Only - USPSA, IPSC & Misc.
Mick, He finally got old enough to go by himself but Brad's Mom was home looking after Brad's Dad. I couldn't make this match but I knew that with you around he would be in good hands. Thanks Larry Burchfield -
DOUBLE TAP CHAMPIONSHIP

My son Brad just came in from the match and I think he said he finished 5th in open class and first in M class. Larry -
I use 9.3 grains of IMR 4756 behind a 124 gr Precision Delta bullet with a heavy crimp in my son open gun but it has a four port barrel and 3 port comp. Larry

.357 mag loads in .38spl cases in a S&W 686?
Larry Burchfield replied to mpolans's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
I've loaded 357 mag cases with 150gr semiwadcutters using unique powder before without any problems. You might look into some of the cowboy action powders as they are susposed to work well with light charges. I use Tte group in my 38spec with a 125 rdnose at the present time. Good luck Larry -
