The S & W model 48 revolver in .22 magnum seems to have a history of the cylinders being too tight. For example in my model 48 If the cylinders are clean and the revolver fires the 6 rounds, they are very difficult to extract without the use of a small rubber mallet. I took my revolver to a...

I changed grips on my three Blackhawks which moved my hand position back to the point that I can't thumb the hammers back with my grip thumb. I have to use my other hand to cock the hammer which isn't a bad deal but not one I want to use forever.

I have a Winchester Model 70 for which I've ordered an M*CARBO trigger spring in order to reduce the trigger pull. M*CARBO has a nice video about how to replace the spring and I'm not concerned about how to do it, my concern is which size screwdriver do I need to remove the front and rear...

Guys, it's been over 50 years since I handloaded .222's for my model 722. I had to sell that rifle because the family was growing and I needed the money. Always regretted it and so I just picked up a Winchester Model 70 XTR in .222 and I'm starting all over again with rifle reloading of any...

I've missed my Remington 722 in .222 Remington ever since I sold it. Recently I've found a Winchester 770 in .222 that I'm interested in. Any information that can be provided such as dependability, accuracy, etc would be greatly appreciated. I'm really interested in the Winchester but have also...

I received an e-mail from the NRA Leadership and Past Presidents that offsets reports that "the NRA is vulnerable, financially unstable and weakened in its fight to defend the Second Amendment." The e-mail goes on to say that the NRA convention in Indianapolis was the largest in NRA history...

I've purchased three sets of custom grips from Bearpaw grips on eBay. The seller is gooseman179 and he refers to his speciality grips as EIG 5 which stands for ergonomically improved grip. The top of the grip is 15% thicker and the butt of the grip is 10% thinner. I ordered a set of these grips...

I noticed in the current NRA (September 2018) magazine on page 98 an advertisement for a one time fix that enables the correct reassembly every time of Ruger Mark series. I ordered one and it worked fine in my Mark II. The e-mail address is: hammerstrutsupport.com so check it out. There is...

I have a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt that I've had trouble with in coming up with accurate handloads. My understanding is that if the barrel groove diameter is .451 then the bullet diameter should be .452 and the cylinder throat should be .4525 or .453. I have been told that for the past decade...

I participated in my first organized handgun shoot which was called a BUG (back-up gun) shoot at my range. I discovered in this shoot that I'm cross dominant eyed which means that I'm shooting with my right hand but my left eye is my dominant eye. One of the stages required a shot from the...

I know light striker firing pin strikes is a problem on many Ruger SR9c's. I guess my next stop with this situation is to take my pistol to a gunsmith unless one of you HighRoaders has figured out the problem. I replaced the plastic guide rod with a stainless steel one from Galloway Precision in...

My SR9c is shooting very high so I tried to adjust the elevation downward. The rear sight elevation screw bottoms out before the sight is fully compressed leaving about a 16th or more of travel. I contacted Ruger's CS about getting a shorter screw and they don't make one shorter than what I...

My Ruger SR-45 won't feed properly and I was wondering if other HRoaders had similar problems. I'm using Missouri's 185 grain "Button" SWC and the OAL measures 1.114, which should feed fine. The plunk test is fine as is the Lyman case gage go-no go. The bullet when ejected unfired has a small...

I was at the range yesterday trying some loads using my Ruger Blackhawk .357 with 16 grains of 2400 under a 125 grain JHP. I was using new Starline brass and Winchester small pistol primers. I was shooting 5 rounds. After firing what I thought was the fifth round I checked the cylinder and saw...

I haven't used Alliant's 2400 Powder in years but purchased some this past weekend. I have a question regarding my .357 loads. I'm using Zero's 125 grain Jacketed Hollow point and I started with 15 grains of 2400, then 15.5 grains, then 16.0 grains and 16.5 grains. According to the Lyman...

I recently found that the leveling knob on my RCBS 5-0-5 balance beam scale was cracked. Thinking that this might be very difficult to replace, I nonetheless sent an inquiry to RCBS. I received a reply today saying they had found a replacement and was sending it to me "no charge". This is my...

I have an old Lyman #55 with the brass (or perhaps bronze) measuring guides. This powder measure dates back to the '60s and I think it could stand a good inside cleaning. These aren't a problem to take apart but I have no idea of how to clean the inside so that powder doesn't stick to surfaces...

I have a new Lyman Universal Case Trimmer that I used for the 1st time today. I was trimming .38 special cases. I had everything set and had trimmed approximately 30 cases when the pilot was stuck in a case. I had to turn the handle and pull back at the same time to get it to release. The pilot...

I have a new Blackhawk in .44 Special and I was wondering which diameter bullet (.429 or .430) should I use for reloading. I contacted Ruger to ask them but they refused to provide me with an answer. Thanks for any advice!

I'm getting back into reloading after a long layoff and picking up components and reloading equipment a little at a time (wow, this stuff is expensive). I have some old brass from my previous reloading days, some that may be 50+ years old. I have a mixture of .38/.357.44Special/.44 Mag. I...
