Hi Dick, I am sitting here drinking that horrible tasting stuff, you know, the stuff they give you just before having a Colonoscopy (tomorrow), so having nothing to do except sitting on the pot, I went to the Ruger Forum and seen your post, The first thing that I seen was that beautiful display...

Hey Dick: Every year when my grand kids were growing up we would travel through Eastern Oregon on the way to WA State and tour the part of the Oregon Trail north of Baker, they still talk about it. So now that I have two Great Grand Kids I guess it's time to continue the tradition and show...

Rick: I do believe that you hit the nail on the head, to try and get that seating die and crimp in one operation with different bullets is a pain in the rear. So guess that I am lazy too. I have now ordered a lee crimp die for my ACP. Have one for 45 ruger blackhawk. Thanks again for everyone's...

Hello Dick, missed you on your return trip back to Idaho, We were in Washington State visiting my Son and his family. Wonderful story and hunt as always. Took my Great Grandson out to the range, shooting a 17mm Ruger with a 7" barrel, he was kicking up dust but having a bunch of fun, and...

Thanks guy's, I have the RCBS dies, and will use the third die to crimp, what I did not tell you is that I have crimped several loads as well as no crimp, Guess what, the crimped one's fed in my gun as well as my Grandson's gun. The un-crimped one's did not feed in my gun or his, My gun is a...

I have a Colt 45 Gold Cup brand new, I am shooting 185gr. SWC. My question is -Do you crimp or not crimp. Read somewhere where 1911 will jam if bullet is NOT CRIMPED. What say all my friends??? Hawkeye2

Thanks for all the input for the crimping dies. I am going to the roll crimp for the 45L colt and taper crimp for the ACP. Arnold Stuart

Just received My Lipsey convertible 45 Colt/ACP, and ready to reload. I have the RCBS 3-die Carb set 19112. What crimp Die do you folks recommend , a roll crimp or taper crimp? OR DOES IT MATTER? Brian Pearce's article > hand loader magazine recommends roll crimp. I would NOT LIKE to buy another...

Hugh: No Cat's at my house, but we do have two Yorkshire Terriers that keeps the mice away, and when we don't want to see visitors, they keep them away also. Don't know what I would do without them. Arnold

Yea I changed my order from 5-1/2 length to 4-5/8 after talking to one of the most influential person on this forum (sixshot), he said that I would love the gun, when he talks, I listen. Arnold

Got a call yesterday from my dealer, and was told that the 4-5/8 was in stock, changed my order from 5-1/2 to the 4-5/8 and away we go. Arnold

Since I just placed my order for the blued 5-1/2 the other day, do you guy's think that I will be a very very old man before I receive the gun??? Arnold

Ordered Lipsey's New model 45 flattop in Blue, 5-1/2 lg yesterday, could not really get a ship date, Does anyone know how long it is taking to get this item?? I am going to have a hard time waiting for this gun. Can't wait. Arnold

Dick, as usual another great story, lot's of detail and humor. I would love to hunt Montana, have fly fished the Madison and other small streams and had loads of fun. Last time on the Madison was in early Sept and snow, didn't bother me at all, as I was catching fish. If you go south this yr...
