Let us know how you make out at Ron Pedersons Guns.
As Ken Walters said, you will have to speak to the owner himself.
Last time I was there, he was not. I asked the head sales guy (at least the guy who said he was in charge) and he could not give me any info.

.38 is the most common found, closely followed up by .45. The 9mm will be a little harder to find and acquire, especially in original components. One advantage of this forum is contact with those who can help find, provide or make the necesssary items you may need.
In addition to Bruce above (RBWILLNJ) you also have Dave (FC60) and Rich Daniels (BARRELTESTER).  Between these fine people, they can machine dies, shellplates, powder measures, etc., all of which will help speed up your ability to get up to speed in loading the calibers you want.

You also have Ebay as a source, but be cautious in what you look to acquire there. Example: The seller may have a head, but not all the pieces attached to make it function. Some of those pieces can be difficult to find.

Good luck/

Depending on the type of dies, as long as they are carbide, they should still work fine for you. My dies are oringial 1960s vintage and still perform. If you feel new dies may be a better option try  FC60  on this site. He makes very well made copies as good or better than the originals. You may need to go this route because the thread for the dies is not the common 7/14 found on todays versions.

If not successful on the fixed charge bar, you might try Richard Daniels. He is  "Barreltester"  on this site and makes good quality adjustable bars. I have one and would reccomend him.

The other is a So-mar, mlore of a manual indexor rather then the automatics often seem. Priced at $ 35.00 did not seem to bad.

Two interesting types of indexors on ebay. One is of a design I have seen a spec sheet on but not the actual unit. It also appears to eject.

I check the drops each time I start reloading even with same powder still in tube from previous efforts.  I have noticed slight deviations, but usually + or - .1. Seldom more or less than that.

Look in the threads for value and prices in the Survey says section.

I have not done 2012 prices yet, but the 2011 prices are there. Realistic prices seem to be in the mid 100s.

I posted somewhere else on this, but first order was about six to eight weeks. Second was about nine months, maybe a little longer.
There were some mix-ups(misplaced check, shipped to incorrect address) on his end on that order. Everything worked out. As said before. he does meet his obligations, and there are no issues with the parts quality.

Bruce commented on patience in his post then. He was correct then and still is.

I had to wait longer than expected, and communication was spotty, but Bill did come through with the correct parts, and quality was not in question.
