Would you say a 357 mag is marginal for defense? You can load 327 into 357 ranges.. meaning you think 357 is marginal for defense. Same with game.. If you don't think 357 can take a small to medium...

You can load them right up to 357mag specs..discounting heavy for load weighted projectiles. I love my 3" ruger Sp101 in 327. Can shoot 327 32 mag..32 long/short and usually acp depending on the...
I load for a couple old Turks..rough lookig rifles..but decent bores..cast n gas checked do great on paper for me. i use the lee c-324-175-1r mold.

No such thing as too big. I shoot full wadcutters seated slightly out f the case for 38SW in my old Brit revolvers..looks great..paper target thinks they are great too. I imagine a bad guy would...

I am looking for what is called a cam lever..external part.. held on with a screw and locates on a pin. I can find the lever...

I use coww for buckshot. Seems to do great. Slugs I tend to cast soft.

I think you'd be fine with it.. And for s&g's I'd see if a .359 projectile in a dummy case will drop in and fall out of the cylinder. It's likely the restriction of the cyl mouth is at the very end...

The images above in post 1 are of hollow point?? It's a small opening.. but AFAIK..it counts as HP not fmj.
yup..good for glocked brass..or other unsupported chamber guns.. A lee FCD with a sizer ring usually works too

reminds me of an arbor press. Wonder if it was a grommeting press..?
