Afternoon Ramius, guess you can’t take your sword with you for the ‘downtime’ would be a good time to practice riposte, lunge and parry.

There are several machines out there. The Premier Supermatic made in Canada (Complete with English and French on the labels) is the one LSA uses. We buy in bulk on the internet. It’s about a buck fifty a pack since we buy the good tobacco (no burning agents and no chemical additives) LSA has had the machine three years and a few spare parts now and again and it’s running like a top. It’s worth the initial investment. Remember there is no safe cigarette. YMMV.

It’s a bit like reloading, set up is the bulk of the cost and then it’s only time and components. Think of it as the entry level single stage press.

BTW - just finished up another box of .38s. I like the 158gr semi-wadcutter on top of 4.8 grains of Unique.

Ah... tried to reply to this earlier when it seems that FR took a holiday. :-)

Yes, regrettably the swords have to stay home. I suppose that would make for some trouble at the airport. Though... gimme a cutlass on an airplane, and ain’t nobody hijacking it. :-)

158gr SWC: Yes, sir. Loaded thousands of those. My powder of choice was Winchester 231, but I’ve got no quibble with Unique. I used some of that too, but I got a good deal on a 10 lb can of 231 once... and it took years to burn it up. :-)
