Took along the Vaquero and the Cattleman. These revolvers shoot essentially the same. I found this out last time I went shooting. It is verified now.

More importantly I took along a good comparison of 100 rounds using Federal primers and 100 using the Winchester primers which I thought were causing problems.

My misfire problems are solved. Were I was getting one misfire in six shots from the Winchesters, I had absolutely 100% success with the Federals.

It does not matter if I just use the Lee press or if I force them a little further with the Auto-primer. They work the same way.

I am getting the same accuracy from the rounds I load myself as I do from the Cowboy rounds that I have been buying. Now that I have the reliability problem solved, I can work on more consistency in my loads.

As a bonus I picked up 240 spent 9mm cases.

I'll put them up for trade for either .45 LC or .357 magnum cases.

All in all a good day shooting.
