Every time I load moonclips, I put the one on a flat surface (mooning tool back side), and check for a daylight.
If it looks good, ammo goes in there. Any doubts, moonclip goes into "fix jar". Once I get a bunch in there, here goes my straightening tool.

Hello: The 625 4" is a little on the heavy side so I have een told. I don't have a 625 4" yet but want one It will also be my backup for the 5" I have for USPSA. Thanks, Eric
I just had my 625 4" checked at Winter Nationals, came up to 40.8 oz with stock Hogue rubber grips.
It makes SSR weight.

1. IDPA, sometimes USPSA, ICORE
2. Twice a month
3. Last year there were 7, 6 of which were with revolver.
4. 2008 Winter Nationals
5. Already doing that. USPSA, ICORE, probably steel
6. It's a different mental game. There is no room for make-up shots.
7. I'm just promoting revolver shooting to others.

It's going to be a recoil buffer in there. If there is, it might prevent the slide to come back all the way to reach slide stop notch. If that is the case, I made the buffer thinner, that solved the problem.

Curt,
I was in the rush to catch your train with staff I have on my wish list, so completely forgot to bring up my appreciation to you taking efforts of putting it all together.
I'd like to add an additional 3 speedloaders with handles #277 for 625 .45 AR.
Which makes it total of 6 Speedloaders/handles for me.
Do you have any "order count" as of today?
Any tentative dates?
Regards,
Gene

I would like to get 3 of # 277 with handles for my 625 .45 Autorim.
Would be easier for Bones to convince me and Gary to shoot in SSR.
Regards,
Gene

I tried Clays for 45 ACP and didn't like it at all.
Firstly, due to it's fluffy flakes it doesn't meter well. Next it's very smokey even with FMJ bullets, and lastly you can't get decent muzzle velocity without far exceeding the maximum recommended load, which considering what I've read about Clay's high pressure spikes isn't a good idea at all.
If you're looking for minor PF loads for a revolver, then maybe Clays would fit the bill, but I want at least 750 fps muzzle velocity out of my Baer with a 230 gr. FMJ.
It may work for others, but it didn't work for what I wanted it to do.
Steve J,
which powder from your experience is less smoky with this combination, like 230 bullet jacketed or plated?

I've being reloading for quite a while. Within last year I came back to 9mm/ESP load and started reloading for that caliber. All I shoot is 147gr powered by 3.3gr of Universal Clays. I started with hardcast bullets from Northeastbullet. Can't complaint about accuracy from Glock 34. It serves me OK for IDPA needs. It's very clean burning load, but man it does smoke a lot.
Shooting outdoors is no-brainer, clearing COF indoors - is the 'mission impossible'.
After reading a lot of info on the subject, I've tried those variations:
Moly, no-lube
Lube, no-moly
Lube, moly
No lube, no-moly.
All of the above give you a cloud of smoke. The only benefit of bullets without lube is less mess and my dies stay cleaner.
Next attemp was Masterblaster polycoated bullet, more pleasant to handle, no mess around the bench, same recipe... same smoking.
Well, I've purchased 1K of Zero FMJ bullets, loaded to the same PF, incresed load for 0.2gr of the same Universal Clays, went out to try it...IT STILL SMOKES!.
Going to a match, I need to pick factory rounds to shoot indoors because of that.
Could you give some recommendations on different powder or some other factors I overlooked in my reloading jorney?
Regards,
Gene
Moonclips

I use plastic mailing tubes, cut in length to hold 10 moonclips.
Keep them out of elements, load and store as many as you have moonclips available.
Similar to this:

I use them for .45 ACP x 6, .38 special x 8, .38 short colt x 8 with the same results.
When they crack at edges, just replace with new ones.
