For any of you guys reloading .44 Magnum, I'm assuming that caliber requires "Large Pistol Primers" correct? I'm new to reloading). Just prior to the pandemic starting I bought a new RCBS Rebel, single stage press and all my necessary accessories. Just my luck that primer availability would drop to nil right after I purchased all that equipment, so I have not yet started to reload. All my gear is still sitting in the boxes. :roll:

Thanks, XJP5

LGS had CCI small magnum pistol primers for $90/1000 so I bought 2. They also had small rifle primers for the same price. Also looked at a black Ruger 22/45 mark IV pistol for $429. I am thinking about that one. Any thought on that?

Other than the non removable grip panels that the previous models had I like mine pretty well.
It shoots good. The Bull barrel?

I bought a 22/45 for my wife. She absolutely loves the thing, and it has really improved her knocking down our little prarie dog poppers. I'm kinda fond of the little gun also.

I may have to stop and see if it is still available. I really don't NEED another 22 pistol but you know how that is.
