Check Montana Gold Bullets daily. they have had a few things in stock but are limiting orders to 1000 heads. last week they had 38 special heads. I haven't checked this week yet.

I use the lee molds and tumble lube them, for 9mm 38/ 357 45 colt and 45 ACP. Never had a problem, Just gotta get your temp right when u cast. I resize with the lee resizing dies as well. I've run at least 1500 rounds of nine with out a single huck-up. No leading at all.

What are your min and max on your powder and how close to max are you. I personally like clays for my 40 cal . but I usually load 180 grainers. I got like 250 165grn HP I gotta load though.

also check out the Lyman Manual . I seem to like that one. Casting is the way to go once your up and running. I cast for 9mm , 38/ 357, 40 s&w , 45 acp and colt, 7.62x54 and 30-30. saves you tons. 9mm cost me 2.22 per 50

I would just throw out the brass with the half stuck primer. you can always pick up more. 9mm brass is everywhere.

Yeah I prefer a single stage . I like handling ever case one by one. Takes a little longer but the quality is better. At least that's how I look at it .
