    How bad did I GOOF?

    Yea you should have bought it then you would now have one. Prices may be dropping but they're pretty good now. I got one and I was one of those guys that didn't want one. Now I have one and can get it battle ready with the accessories I choose. I'm keeping it simple, sights, sling, mags and...

    Lee Crimp die and brass shavings

    You don't own any Lee products yet you vouch for them as working perfectly. Do you own any of these other products that you claim Lee works better than?

    SR45 bump firing

    If it's still malfunctioning you need to have Ruger fix the problem. If they had a shot at fixing it and they failed they need to be reminded of that. They also need to be reminded of the severity of the problem. You should not try to fix it yourself. You may think you're smarter than Ruger...

    recoil spring replacement

    I called Ruger twice and got two different answers. They told me the springs should be changed but the frequency varied in the answers. The first time they told me every 1-2,000 rounds. The second time every 5-6,000 rounds with normal (non +P) ammo.

    Tumbling media for small bore brass?

    I'll give the same response on the other forum. Reptile bedding -- small enough to get in primer pockets and small enough not to get stuck in flash holes. Maybe it's my vigorous sifting that does it. I went to a mom and pop Asian food store where I work and got a fruit wash basin it has large...
