I'm not sure what nuts you're using, but I had a lot of trouble with this until I switched to the Hornady lock nuts. I had a lot of the Dillon nuts which are really small.
The Hornady nuts are well machined and have a large area to grip / lock onto the bushing.
I do have to say that the whole bushing thing isn't the great idea that thought it would be. Just machining a couple of flats on the bushings would make things a lot easier.

I see that Uniquetek does a powder funnel for Dillon presses.

I'm not sure of the layout of a Dillon - could I buy a Dillon die body and use this on another press ?

I ordered from Sportshooter - I'll give an update later, just in case it can help anyone else.

perttime - I think you're on to something - I also have a young German guy working with me right now ! I'll get a translation of the details on Tuesday morning.
Thanks for the lead !

Well, this is tougher than I thought !
I'm not a fan of the Safariland holster and Speed Bees isn't answering their phone or email. (And they don't actually list a holster for the 6", they go up to 5")
I called Blade Tech today and was told that they've recently relocated and are streamlining their production to cater to the "tactical" crowd - phasing out revolver holsters.
Beginning to think a want ad would be a good idea !

Everyone, thanks for the replies !
I've contacted Speed Beez to see if they can fix me up.

Well I checked Safariland and they had nothing. Hmmm.
Hopefully someone else will chime in - I'm sure I've read that a certain Smith holster was a good fit.

The more I shoot my GP, the more I've been interested in getting into some ICORE style matches.
Nothing serious, but just wanting to get the GP out more.
I thought that Blade Tech was pretty much a standard holster for these games, but couldn't find anything for the 6". (I'm not interested in a leather holster)
I'll be using a Wilderness belt. The holsters that are completely open with the end of the barrel sitting on a plug just don't seem to *look* right to me.
I was wondering if there was a Smith holster that was in fact a good fit.
Any help would be appreciated !
PS What's the deal with brass at these matches - I've heard that you can pick up your own brass... do you mark it or are the games run as 'lost brass' ?

As Sig and Broadside have mentioned, using Hornady nuts & rings is the way to go. It's just that I've found that making adjustments is a pain. Expect to fiddle with them a while during initial adjustment. Then lock them down tight.
