Won't guarantee the timeline, but I think the full wadcutter was developed first, to be used in target shooting to get that nice round hole. Then, to make the bullet design useful for other purpose, including hunting and maybe better feeding in semiautos, more lead was added to the bullet ahead...
My go-to powder has always been Hodgdon Universal, but it's been non-existent for the last year, at least here in southern Oklahoma. Just picked up a couple pounds at my local gun shop at noon today!! $24.99 per pound.
Take a look at Altamont grips. I have them on several of my Ruger single action revolvers. I eventually make my own grips for my revolvers, but the Altamont grips work pretty well for the price. You can get about anything you want if your willing to pay the price.
There is powder available here in Southern Oklahoma, especially Alliant powders. Some of you have commented about price ranges of $25-$30 as being expensive. I think that will be the norm going forward. If the market will pay $30/lb, that's where the price point will be. That's still...
My "best" 357 is my newly acquired S&W Performance Center Model 686 with 2 1/2 inch barrel. The 357 that I like best is my 40+ year old S&W Model 19-3.
I bought a new 1895GBL a few months ago. The fit on the stock is a little sloppier than I would like, but overall the fit and finish is not bad for the money. I'd buy another Marlin with hesitation.
Getting a new .243. It'll be used mostly for poking holes in paper and ringing steel out to 300 yards. (maybe 500 if the opportunity presents itself) I need recommendations for decent scopes, preferrably under $500. I've got tired old eyes so some extra magnification would probably be welcome...
I have the 550B, but it's mounted directly to my bench. My chute is also closer. It takes very little effort for the round to drop down the chute. No need to turn the spindle fast.
I have a Lee, RCBS Universal, and a Hornady hand primer. I use a Dillon SDB and a 550B for reloading straight wall pistol cartridges and never hand prime those. I always hand prime bottleneck rifle cases and 99.9% of the time I use the RCBS Universal hand primer. Works great. Same for when...
Nice. I thought about a lighter bullet when I bought my mould, but I am usually swayed toward the heavier bullets. Looks like my crimp could be a little heavy too, but, again, I tend to overdo most things.
The weight depends on the alloy I use, but it runs 240-245 grains with Lyman #2. I got the mould couple months ago from Accurate Molds, LLC. I actually bought it thinking the bullet would make a good round for shooting bowling pins. Haven't had a chance to try it on them yet.
I have the Bearcat Shopkeeper. I've only had it out a couple of times. I have big hands and the curve of the birdshead stock fits right in the middle recess of my palm. It's a little hard for me to judge how it might fit a child's hand, but I think it would be pretty comfortable, but maybe...
