It was worth the wait. Thanks for the tip on the dies, I've got a set of Hornady New Dimension dies I'll try first and if they're not tight enough I'll get a Redding carbide sizer. Do you size down new brass?

May be a waste of time but I size and trim new brass for my revolvers.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I had the Nimrod out on the range this morning and it turned what had been a mediocre load in the un-modified Bisley base-gun (300gr Cast Performance LFNGC, H110, new Winchester brass, WLP primer) into a decent performer: 6 shots into 3" at 25 yards, off-hand. Not anything for a bullseye shooter to be happy with, but darn good for me on the first outing with a new revolver. That load is a bit stouter than what I plan to run in the Nimrod when I start loading for it specifically, but it was all I had on hand. Next stop, the loading bench

Very nice.
Did you supply the ram's horn material? I don't see it on the CLC site.
