That's about as good as it can get for the .357mag. :)

Thanks everyone.

Now I need to get my Lock-N-Load set up for 41 Mag.

I'm certainly not going to be buying a lot of ammo.

Still need to test fire it but she's super tight and the cylinder gap and timing where all perfect.

It's not perfect....it's definitely seen a little range time.....the picture enhances it's appearance. But overall it's in really good shape and should be a great shooter for many years to come.

Might have to consider going on a hog hunt with this one.

Blue,
If you don't already have a set. I have a used set of RCBS 41 mag dies I don't use any more (got a set of carbides), they've probably got 1000-1500 rounds loaded with them. I'd like to get $25 shipped.

FWIW

Update:::
Sorry Blue I meant to address the post to Adam.

I do not own a 41 Mag so if you find a taker do so. But thanks for the offer. All of my new dies are the Hornady with the Ti coating. These are the best I have used.

Thanks for the offer but I'm looking at either the Hornady or Redding Titanium sets.

I've heard really great things about the Redding 41 Mag set.
