    Offhand shooting practice

    4" - 5 shot groups @100 yards off hand, should be doable for you young guys. The last live turkey shoot in Nov 2015 , i got my turkey. My age then 70. Over many years, only had to buy a turkey one year. Now they shoot at eggs, a much harder target. Not for me. Helps if the gun can do 1/2"...

    Help me diagnose an issue

    Fired brass may do it also. As the cylinder rotates, the rounds/ brass need pushed back into the chamber. Had it happen with a S&W M28, 357 mag. Very dirty chambers seemed to be my problem. Not a common problem.

    Comment by '243winxb' in media 'S&W 28-2 Double Action. Update- FIXED'

    4/24- Lubed models 17, 28, 29. The 29-2 came back from the fractory with black grease in the action. Red locktite on side plate screws. Just noticed S&W switched my hand picked, fancy wood factory grips for plain jane ones. :mad:

    odd question

    Google search- The reason the shop sticks to strictly antique guns is because they do not have a Federal Firearms License. In his book License to Pawn, Rick Harrison touches on the subject. According to Harrison, The Old Man stole a car in his youth which left him ineligible for the firearms...

    Odd looking shoulder on 5.56 brass

    Modified fl die neck? Like mine. I have 2 RCBS FL dies. The 1 has been neck reamed, by me. It now has a tapered neck. Hope you can see the difference in photos.

    RCBS cracked at top??

    To much heat in welding, may require a large tap to chase the threads? As already said. -If the crack is near the die threads, have a 7/8”-14 tap on hand to chase the threads after brazing.

    Powder opinions

    Not tried it. Its in the same powder family as the other ball powders. But *pressure* is very low & requires more powder then the others. Possible misprint? Contact Hodgdon? On paper, looks like a poor choice for the 357? My guess.

    Partner Press? I can see one crackjng, if abused. Have it soldered. RCBS owes the new owner, of the free press, NOTHING.
