.314". Cast at .315", PC-ed and sized. Barrel was .312". Unsized boolit has to be forced through cylinder, sized boolit falls through with no resistance .

Yeah, I've just never seen as dramatic of a difference According to the Berger calculator, the 130 should be stable. I had some issues with accuracy when I tried pushing the RimRock 125gr towards the upper end of velocity with A#9. This bullet is probably the same. Probably likes between...

Finally got a chance to test my cast 130gr WFP and 100gr DEWC loads in my Single Seven. Still need some work on the 130gr(Accurate #9 gives good velocity, but is not accurate by any means. Might try Power Pistol). The DEWCs were over a couple grains of Trail Boss, couldn't get a good read on the...

They got one of those on display at the new LGS. Weird gun.

Just a hypothetical that came up when discussing "bug out guns" with a coworker. They proposed a "brace" for something like a Ruger MK type pistol to allow it to be shouldered like a rifle. The thing that made me wonder if it would be legal is it isn't actually attached to the pistol, but held...

I love my Single Seven, but the sights are admittedly chunky. I would like to switch them out with a finer set, a la the Chuck Hawks article , but apparently all the parts they recommend are "out of stock". Is there any other options for finer sights on a Ruger Single.

Here in NY, where the biggest thing is a black bear, I feel confident carrying a Single Seven in 327 fed mag. Without having to handload(which I still do), it can go from 22lr power level with 32s&w and s&w longs, to full house 327s that get into 357mag territory. I wouldn't use it to hunt bear...

I would like to first say that this is not intended for teaching a new shooter (heavier pull for safety isn't an issue). I am setting it up for hunting small game. It seem to be fairly accurate with the irons, so I ordered a scope for it, and would like to improve the trigger if possible. Are...

I recently started pocket carrying a P-32(in a pocket holster. I'm not dumb), and one of the things I can't bring myself to do is carrying it with one in the chamber like I see recommended a lot of places. I realize that it isn't really that different than carrying my 38 snubbie with the...

I'm going to cast some miniballs for my muzzleloader(Lee mold I picked up at a gunshow), and I am having difficulties wrapping my head around something. Do miniballs get loaded directly onto the powder, or is there some sort of wadding or patch between them? All I've ever shot before were...

One of the instructors when I took my CCW class was like that. HUGE Glock fanboy. Tried to convert everybody in the class(actually brought guns from home to try and make people use for the class). And here I was with my 38 snubbie. Luckily, one of the other instructors was thrilled that...

Amen to that. I have come to the opinion that the 327 Fed Mag is the most versatile caliber for any part of the country that doesn't have big grizzlies. I really like my Single Seven.

Since the "Cartridges you just don't like" thread was interesting, I figured it would ask about what guns. For me, the reasons are purely aesthetic. I don't find ARs and AKs very attractive, but some variants have a certain elegance to them, I admit. What I can't bring myself to like is that...

Dan Wesson Bruin in 10mm. They weren't a production model when I worked there, but I got to build some of the customs that inspired it.

Would a hp/sp in 32 do the job? Like you said, the critters aren't big, so FBI standard penetration probably isn't necessary.
