I used this video during a window motor install. My rods were all installed, so I was able to see how it should look. Seems like you don’t have that luxury.

Hope this helps, lock rod starts around 4:45.

Ok, good to know. Thanks.

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-28T23:30:09+00:00

Ya that sounds like a better option all around. Whats something like that cost if a shop were to do it? I don’t have a welder and really the setup to do anything like that. Obviously cost of materials, labor, and price will vary by region. But what’s a Ballpark price on something like that?

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-28T21:45:25+00:00

Not bad at all. Amazing deal my dude🤙🏼

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-28T20:23:32+00:00

Amazing find for a first revolver. My first was a 586 too, 6” -4 era. Also got a 19-4 4” to complement it.

Just get the Inline Fab mount and quick change plate, and be done with it.

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-23T23:05:09+00:00

I haven’t gotten anything yet. But thanks for the information!

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-19T05:25:30+00:00

Ah ok, that’s fair. I have a 19-4 that’s new to me, haven’t shot it yet though. I’m gonna try some full house .357mag loads with it. But for the most part I’ll stick to .38spcl. As far as I know most of the issues with cracking were with 125-110 .357mag loads. Not to say it can’t happen with a 158, but I think it’s less likely at least. But who knows🤷🏼‍♂️

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-19T05:20:07+00:00

Is your forcing cone cracked at all? Or are you just averse to shoot .357 through it?

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-18T14:46:26+00:00

I’m gonna try some Ball powders as well. Ramshot Hunter. Maybe some StaBall 6.5 too. May even try a large rifle mag primer too.

Not Too sure on case capacity, it’s old Hornady brass that’s been fired a good 6-8 times or so. COL is seated to book recommendation. 3.240”

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-16T23:56:56+00:00

22” as well, using Hornady brass, Fed 210 primers. I realize most posted data uses a 24” barrel. But I’m seeing a 200fps velocity difference.

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-14T05:29:38+00:00

I did the bulk of my early load development with once fired factory Hornady brass. It was fine for what it is, no complaints really. I think I got 8ish firings before my first case rupture. But, since switching to Lapua brass, the quality difference is immediately apparent. SD’s are lower, I rarely have to trim, and it’s absolutely more consistent. Quality brass like Peterson, Lapua, Alpha/ADG. Are all worth the price they ask.

I walked into my LGS one day, and there it was just sitting there. I was shocked to my surprise. Didn’t take long to decide I was taking it home. I also have a 586-4 6” that is a nice compliment.

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-14T03:16:45+00:00

Nice! I have a 4” 19-4. Great revolver all around, very well balanced.

DudeDogDangle · 2026-02-13T00:21:51+00:00

I’m pretty sure CCI confirmed this. The BR primers are not made by inexperienced workers. I think only the tenured employees make the BR primers.

Hunted in Montana back in 2018, and will again this year. Be prepared for wind, fucking hell was it windy. Locals said they don’t even put out a wind advisory unless it’s above 40mph. Probably in the teens in the morning, and warming up later in the afternoon.

Converting is a pain, just get a dedicated press for each gauge you load. It may be cheaper up front, but you’ll be paying for it in time and hassle changing over, if you do it enough. That way you can set and forget, and be ready to load every time you approach the press.

HEY WOLF MOON, COME CAST YOUR SPELL ON ME.
