Moonclips question
- Thread starter Gunaholic
- Start date
For such a simple product, there is actually quite a bit of difference in quality.
For moon clips the very best I have found came from Tom at www.moonclips.com . The ones I've purchased from www.dillonprecision.com have worked just fine. but are not finished as clean as Tom's. The one's I've gotten from S&W are way too stiff. The "surplus" stuff at gun shows are too loose and have sharp edges (dull die?).
I use my California Competition De-mooner all the time. The screwdriver type, flat stamped, and even home made(out of conduent tubing) all work fine. They just aren't as fast.
Enjoy the N frame...

Also, the equipment for the 610 and 625 from Dillon's work well. i have both sets and tools.
Congrats on your 625, great gun. I've bought full- and half-moon clips from dillon and the demooning tool for the full-moon clips. The plastic tool broke on the first clip and the clip was bent to hell, sent the tool back, received a new one and it also broke and bent another clip. Through the tool in the trash and gave the clips away.
I kept all the half-moons and even bought more from S&W and they all seem to work fine and have yet to bend one. I can load and unload the clips by hand without using a cumbersome tool. I like the fact that I can top off after firing three rounds as long as those rounds are used from the same clip.

Gunaholic, I just bought a really clever moon clip loader designed by the same people who make the demooner. 6 rounds are dropped in & 2 at a time are pushed into the moon clip. I have a bunch of moon clips from Dillon & the demooner & they all seem to work great. BTW, that 625's accuracy will absolutely amaze you.

I bought it at "The Reloading Center" in North Hills, CA. It was $40.00. I've never seen it anywhere else. Yesterday, I loaded 300 rounds in 20 minutes without gloves & no bleeding thumbs. I think it's made by California Gun Works.
