    45 Schofield

    I maybe a bit slow:rofl: :uhoh: But it just occurred to me my 45 Colts can fire 45 Schofield So now I'm looking for a 45 Schofield crimp die. I've seen a few but they're taper crimp. That confuses me. Shouldn't that be a roll crimp?

    P&R

    Did Smith && Wesson ever recess the 38 Special cylinder? I don't think so, but maybe someone more knowledgeable than me knows better.

    Your Favorite Ruger & Why

    Just bored. Do you have a favorite Ruger & why's it your favorite. Just Rugers in this thread! We'll get to other brands in subsequent threads. I'll start. I have a 2.25" SP101 in 357 Mag. I'm embarrassed to say, but it's a replacement for one I blew up. The only thing I can figure is that I...

    Double The Fun

    Picked up 2 New-To-Me guns. A S&W 65-8 & a Zastava M70-1 I had a Ruger GP100 in 357. The handles were just a hair too big for my smallish hands. The day I told my wife I wanted somethin' different I went to my LGS to use the range. And as John, Paul, George & Ringo said,"I Saw Her Standing...

    F.A.R.T Review

    I've been reloading for a dozen years. Most of those years were 12,000+ rounds. (not 2019-current) For the 1st 9 years I tumbled dry with 20/40 grit corn cob. Those are too small to plug flash holes. But I started reading right here on thr about wet tumbling. The more I learned the better it...

    Sad State Of Affairs

    I went to Cabela's in Green Bay, WI. NO Primers, no powder, no ammo, & almost no guns. If you're looking for a Ruger Wrangler, they have em. They have 1 S&W 686 Plus PC for $1100 +. REALLY glad I stocked up prior to the election. Might need powder & primers by the next election ... maybe.
