Ever wonder what happens when 100 primers go boom in your press?
It wasnt a sequential bunch of explosions lighting off each primer, but 1 big ass boom. I wasnt doing anything out of the ordinary, happened on the up stroke when seating a primer. Happened very fast. Just a small burn on my right hand that was nearest to it all, and some brown stains in my shorts. I sent dillon an email just earlier explaining the story and a list of parts that I need.

Ever wonder what happens when 100 primers explode inside your press? ...yehp. Dont know why it happened, just completly out of the blue. Destroyed a bunch of parts and peices on my press, I have a feeling it's going to take a long time for dillon to get replacement parts out to me.

Anyone here use Clay's in 9mm...etc?
I dont find Lead to smoke as much as Clays as it does with tite group. I use Clays for 38 special and 45acp.... when loading 9mm I use tight group Clays is a wonderful powder, relatively soft on 45acp

negatory, there was alot of working out the kinks with light strikes on with the 22.... Still need to tighten it up some more. Very fun to shoot though! come out to the next steel match with a box of 22 and shoot rimfire revolver division w/ it.

686 spring swaps
Depending on when your revolvers were produced, the s&w's are all pretty much the same internally. The new ones will have a bunch of extra safeties, frame mounted firing pin, etc etc. Next time you need to take the side plate off, hold it in your left hand on the barrel, and smack it a few times with the hard plastic handle end of a screw driver or something near the main spring strain screw, dont use something soft that will absorb all the engery... smack it good, it'll come off - you wont break anything. If you're using factory ammo - keep the DA Trigger pull around 7-9 lbs or so. Some primers are harder then others, as nick said - federal primers will yeild the best result if you are reloading and want the best double action trigger obtainable. The peice you had to line up to get the side plate back on is not the sear, it's a hammer drop saftey... It will pull down infront of the hammer to prevent it from hitting the firing pin. Personally - I remove this ( and all other safetys ) from my revolvers - you may feel different. Read up on it.

Snap cap alternatives ?
find a friend with a press and have him load some actual practice rounds, dont put powder in it, and leave the old spent primer in it. I do this for practice reloads on revolver. Same weight and feel for the real thing vs plastic dummy caps.

Revolver Roll Call
New addition to the stable S&W 617 4" Barrel Changed out the front sight for a Green fiber optic tonight, polished the internals and a spring kit, she sits at about 6.5lbs da right now lighting off rimfires. About as low as you want to go with a 22lr revolver. Will put a few hundred rounds through her soon to check for reliability. Also need to order a new set of some nice wooden houge grips when funds free up.

CJ USPSA 4-14 PRE-REG REQUIRED
Nice runs Mike, very fast. I designed stage 4 this month, with the intention with not having it " guided " too much. Glad to see everybody who shot it do it different from person to person. ( after some snafus during setup, thanks Maks and Dave for the help )
