I have a 550 press and think it's great. I started with a single stage and moved up. Now that I have the 550 I sometime us it as a single, double or thriple stage press. While trying new powers in a few loads I bypass the powder in the horn and hand measure. If I want to deprime my cases before tumbling I can do that as a single stage. I'd start releading slowling and get to know all the things you can do with you 550. Good luck, have fun, be safe.

I'm new this year to Speed Steel and IPSC. Classified D with my 4303 S&W 40 cal. However, I'm interested in more revolver shooting as my friend Jerry is helping me along. I shot my S&W 620 at Coeur D'Alene throught the Spokane Practical Pistol League this past Saturday. Met a nice group of people and had fun shooting with them. THANKS Bill Sahlberg, I'd be willing to drive the 1,000 miles to do it again. Now looking to get better through much practice and help from everyone with my 620. Have been shooting major, but find it takes more time to get back on the target. Have loaded 158 gr SWC with 4.3 grs of Bullseye. Great pattern from the bench. Understand I need to go to round nose plated as they will load fast with my speed loaders. WHO EVER SAID speed loaders are speedy ?????? Looking forward to joining the wheel gunners.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> BILL, when you crimp your cases do you crimp with the base of the bullet just outside the case as in the left side of my picture, -or- do you crimp with the base of the bullet flush with the top of the case as on the right side of the picture. Thanks, Walt

Paul, I shoot a S&W 620 and plan on trying HODGDON recomended load that will give me MAJOR.. 158gr bullet with 13.5 grs of H110 for 1396 fps. I'm also going to try the same load in my 38 brass, same gun. Have some questions out on that tactic. If I have good or bad experiences I'll forward them.

I shoot a new model 260 357mag/38 +P. Hodgdon has a 357 load using H110, 13.5 gr, 180 gr bullet which provides 1396 fps. Do I dare use that load in my 38 Special brass. I know, I should just use my 357 brass, but I'm interested in the 38 Special brass answere, THANKS.

DON'T be to hard on yourself. We don't shoot these often enough. WE DID HAVE FUN. Walt

I'm shooting a STAR model B on a 1911 frame and need additional mags. These mags are similar but not the same as the STAR SUPER mags that I have and can't use. Any one want to get rid of their 9mm Largo, START B mags ? Walt Scholl

I shoot a STAR model B 9mm Largo pistol and need several more magazines. They are of couse a little different than the STAR SUPER magazines that I have and no longer need. Does anyone want to get rid of the mags they have ? Walt

Guilty as charged. Sounds like a fun group to be in. Walt
