It'll be spendy as it is a custom only option. Been wanting one for years myself.

The RCBS SWC is tool long. I'm using the Mihec MP 476-640 which drops at 390-5 with my alloy with the large HP Pins. I also have a Lee 475-325 WFNGC which also works.

Simular to the now discontinued RCBS APS strip system. Once I found hand priming that was it on the search. Looked at the APS system alot for bench priming but was it was getting hard to find just before it was discontinued I gave up on the idea. Priming on a press or filling primer tubes is a non-starter for me although I'll go through the hassle for loading pistol on a Dillon.

Me 2. I like 38 Special. Like it so much bought an MP 148 WC mold or 124 HB. Nothing beats a slicked up S&W Model 10 HB for just plinking paper or pick up an old Custom PPC revolver. Got a converted L frame with a tube dot, chopped 8 3/8 barrel with a barrel weight. Nice relaxing afternoon hoping primers.

Been chasing S&W Model 16s for about six months and get bids pushed above 1700. Finally scored on a nice example with a 6" barrel and looks clean. Wish it was a 4" but cheap and everything ya want don't go together too often. So the wait begins...
Just ordered brass in from Starline and got a 90 gr RCBS Cowboy mold RNFP, MP molds in 100, 125 and Sledgehammer but was contemplating a HB WC from MP. Intend to shoot mouse fart loads out of it to take it easy on arthritic hands.
Any load ideas/powder combos for 90-115 weight class in the 750-950 range? Was looking at Bullseye and Tight Group. I've seen 6shot post about 3.0 of WST but can't find any data. Any ideas?

I believe availability in this country is one reason they aren't more popular. Folks like to look and finger potential offering even from our own manufactures in thus country (Colt & Ruger). The only examples I've really seen of the offering from Germany have been rode hard and put up wet so to speak in the pawn shop display case.
The examples I've seen were predominantly in 22 LR with very few examples in 357.

Look at a micro red dot instead of a scope.

Still doing cast load development for the 454. Got an MP 452-340 I'd like to try if it fits. The Hornady 300 mag bullet is presently doing carry duty if needed. The 45 acp is running AN MP 452-200 hp that will easily print 3" off hand @ 50 with my bad eyesight.
Got an extra Leupold Delta Point and 83 mount plate laying around and am planning to try it out on it. I really like it on the 7.5" 83 in 22. Just need to modify the leather.

If you do get one, consider a 45 ACP cylinder.
I started with a 7.5" 475. Great for hunting but sucks when you just want a woods bumping pistol on the belt.
I ended up picking up a 4.75" 83 in 454 with the acp cylinder. Love it.
Was thinking of a 97 in 22 but ran across a good buy on an 83 with 7.5" LR/Mag and like it alot.
Still have a hankering for a 97 and might pick one up in 41. Problem is I won't invest until I get my 2x mitts on one.

Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted I use a combination of things, soft cases, door hanger and have resorted to stashing them like the Easter Bunny where ever I can jam them in. Right now I have 2 out at the spa, 7 out and 2 in the trunck. I need another storage device.
