Good morning
I remember telling me time after time to read the instructions.
Years later I was in Indianapolis to call a pastor. The pay phone was back in the bay. Went up to it and did my regular drop the coin and start dialing. Nothing.. 4 times I tried that... Finally I asked the mechanic if the phone was OK.. He said.. Read the instructions... " Dial the number, wait for the ring, then drop the coin". Worked first time just fine.

Here's a brief report pertaining to my new mould. I fired this 5 shot group offhand at 7 yds. this afternoon with the new Lee bullets. Powder tried for this initial loading was 700X and it had quite the snappy feeling in my hand too. Pic shows my S & W and the target.

If you are going for light recoil then try duplicating .38 Long Colt in .38 Special brass. I used 158gr bullets and middle of the road data for the LC and wow were they light recoiling. Very "mouse fart" in the combat magnum I shot them from and very accurate to boot.
