I currently reload 28 ga 3/4 oz loads but have been thinking about trying 13/16 oz loads for no other reason than pattern curiosity and I can't find factory loadings. From the load data I've found on Hodgdon, it appears that I could purchase a different wad and be good to go with my other...

Lighter and thinner than a 642 with one more round? Sure I'll take a chance. Bought this from Buds a week ago. Grips are way too oversized so they will have to be replaced. I tried measuring with my calipers but couldn't get accurate measurements. 642 cylinder on left. A very...

I really hope its a double stack 32 auto because I have asked for that. Anyone know? Ready for Something New? You’ve been asking, and we’re delivering. Stay excited. We’ve got more info about our newest firearm dropping this Friday. Check out our Instagram to see it first. FOLLOW ALONG...

Something to keep an eye on if you shoot a Kel-Tec P32 with any regularity. My slide cracked opposite of the ejection port. Looks like there was another fracture forward of that area. This occurred while shooting. On the other hand I don't feel so bad about not being able to keep it on paper...

I've held off buying guns for three years and had saved up a bunch of call-out pay. Picked up a 325 gr. mold beforehand but still waiting for dies and brass to come in. I wanted a big bore fun blaster and I hope the 4 5/8 SBH 480 will do it.

I was cleaning the 686 after another range trip and noticed the erosion on the barrel face was getting slightly worse. Accuracy is still fine at this point but I'm wondering if this amount of wear warrants repair at S&W before something worse happens. I'm still scrubbing the frame under the...

Looks like the barrel is twisting again as evidenced by the gap in the crane and frame. I had one before this with the same problem after about 2,000 rounds. It went back to SW and they fixed it. After another 2,000 the hammer stud broke and they replaced it with this one. And now I'm...

I decided to try a 38spl duplex load for my S&W 642. There's a decent amount of posts online regarding the subject and a few videos but I wanted to give a step by step. I had some .375 round balls cast out of range scrap that came out fairly well in a .358 sizing die. I used a flat top punch to...

I've been thinking about adding a hand ejector to the mix just for fun. I really like the look of that early 20th century double action revolver. The problem I'm running into is that there's nothing in the shops locally so all I have to go on is gunbroker listings for description and...

I've read that one may run into problems trying to crimp 41 spl with 41 mag dies. This has happened to me before with 32-20 and required a gunsmith to take some length off the bottom of the seat/crimp die. Has anyone else had this problem, and are there certain brands of die sets I should stay...

Anyone know if you can get a stripped gen 3 Glock frame? I'd rather not send it in because I want to keep the current guts. They're all stock but worn in together very well. Above the numbers on top of the frame, right side. Difficult to tell from photo but it appears as though an identical...

I've spent considerable time charging the past 1,500 .260s with a homemade funnel rolled from copy paper. Decided $27.99 was worth it and got the .264 funnel. This thing drops 41 gr. of IMR 4831 like it was water. No tapping, no static, no spills. Fast or slow pour. I considered a Satern but...

I haven't seen this tip so thought I would share. I can't ever seem to find the cap size I need (Remington #10) unless I spring for hazmat and online shipping. The CCI #10 are about all I can find locally but are too small to reliably work with my Uberti '61 Navy. I found that cutting a slit...

Storm Lake barrel on a Glock 30sf. Just wondering how problematic this might become and if anyone else had similar results. 18k on the barrel. Around 20k on the gun. Recoil spring assemblies changed every 5-7k. Majority of loads are cast running right around 800fps. Breech shows no wear other...

Does anyone have any solid documentation on when the 32-20 came out? I always thought it was 1882. 1879??? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=558776946

I was thinking of substituting the 308 win loads for 260 rem with unique since the major difference is neck size. Anyone have experience with that? Would 10 grains under a 140 cast gas checked bullet work? Haven't seen any data for 260 rem cast with unique.

I'm having trouble getting a consistent diameter with the bullets. Within a sample of ten or so casts I'll get anywhere from .310" to .314," sometimes with variations on the same bullet. My sizing die is for .313" but it does no good for the ones under that diameter. I've cast from 650 degrees...

Was thinking about a cap and ball pistol but now I kinda want a partner for my Uberti 5.5". Thinking about a charcoal blue with fake pearl grips. What does everyone else have?

I haven't seen this mentioned on THR so I thought I'd make everyone aware. Both of my G43 magazines have been hanging up in the mag well upon insertion. After running 120 rounds through mine today it appears the inside of the mag catch scrapes along the right side of the magazine. One of my...

I've run low on WSR and need some primers for under 16,000 CUP 32-20 loads. I have plenty of KVB-223 primers and was curious if anyone had used these in non -.223 applications. I'm intending to load 7.6 gr. of 2400 under a 115 gr. LFPRN.
