    Two new CO2 pistols.

    Have had my Umarex Colt Peacemaker for some time now, and loving it. The grip is a tad long in perspective, being an 1860 Army length rather than the proper 1851 Navy style, but the CO2 cylinder requires the extra length, and it fits my big hand well.

    Well, I decided to finally 'bite the bullet' and ordered the .45 Colt conversion cylinder from Howell's for my steel framed Pietta 1860 Army. It looks pretty good, and I will give it a try Saturday at the range. I got a box of Magtech .45 Colt Cowboy Loads for it too. I have an order in now...

    Forster Bullet Puller Die - problems

    I recently got the Forster Bullet Puller Die, and am trying to use it to pull down some old Turkish and Yugo 8mm Mauser loads. I had hoped to use these bullets to do some handloading. The Forster instructions don't really tell much on adjustment. The die body is too short to allow the...
