Saw a used one FS at Cabela's this a.m. sitting alongside a used LCRx in .38+p. I have an LCR .38 and love it, and the LCRx is attractive, but I would like to hear from those who have experience with the .327. Do you like the gun in that caliber?

I was snooping around the local Cabela's and the used gun counter held guns listed in the subj line. I am considering purchasing a .380, I am not interested in a micro, so these appeal to me. Can you tell me the differences between the 2 Beretta's? For those who have had experience with any or...

I took my lovely wife of 41 years to the range to teach her how to shoot a revolver. Took the 357 NMBH and the LCR 38. I loaded up some standard pressure wadcutters and some 158 grn RNFPs and some 200 grn RNs. She did not take to the LCR. Recoil was not the problem, but the DAO. Smooth as the...

The garage is not the reloading room, but the "foundry" where I smelt, flux and cast. I have been able to make it to the range the past couple of weeks and so my bullet supply has need of restocking. I shoot .357, 38 special, and 44 special. I worked up a few new loads for the .357 and 44...

I am looking for anyone who has loaded the 195 grain RN, Lyman 358430, in 38 special and .357 magnum. This bullet is very accurate out of all of my guns. I've been powering them with Unique. My Unique is running out. I do have Universal on had. I know in some applications they are...

I bought an LCR in 2014. I do not know how many rounds I have through it. I know that I have shot very few +P rounds in it. I usually shoot full charge wadcutters using Bullseye, Red Dot, or Unique. Anyway, cleaning the other day I noticed flame cutting in the top strap. My question is, how much...

Anyone use a 50/50 beeswax vaseline mix? I tried 60/40 and it is too hard and crumbly, going everywhere I don't want it to go! I have tried some other concoction (I don't recall what the mixture was) and it is too soft, leaving an unholy sticky mess. What is your experience with the 50/50?

Anyone use the Lyman 429667? It looks like the 44 cal copy of the 358665, which I understand is a good shooter. I am interested in hearing any comments of your experience. I am thinking about this bullet for my CA Bulldog and Ruger Flat Top. I have a Saeco rnfp 2 Cav mold. I don't know if I need...

I am thinking about getting the Mag Pug .357 with a longer barrel. Here is the thing. I have two Ruger Blackhawks in 44 spcl and .357. I have 4 snubbies, two of which are Charters in 44 spcl and .357. These CAs have given good service, but I think the Mag Pug with the longer barrel would be a...

I hope someone can help me out. I have a .357 Charter Arms Mag Pug. I had disassembled the cylinder latch, lost the plunger, received a new plunger from CA and in the process of putting things back together, I mistakenly closed the cylinder. It is now locked in place and I can not open the...

I have never owned a springer, but I am wondering how it is that cocking the rifle by the barrel does not bend the barrel? Is this a common occurance and should it be a concern when considering purchasing one?

My Father gave me his Colt DS, which was produced in 1967-68. I fired it for the first time yesterday at the range and noted that every other round the gun failed to fire. What should I be looking at in order to diagnose the problem and solve it. Thanks.

I'd like to hear thoughts about Pachmayr grips (either the compact or gripper) for the .44 Charter Arms Bulldog. How much of an improvement are these grips over the oem rubber grips from CA? Thanks.

My Father, Requiescat in Pace, left me his nickel plated Colt Detective Special. I would appreciate some advice on two concerns: 1. The first is cosmetic. What does one use to polish the gun? There is some kind of substance (waxy perhaps) on the exterior of the gun that blotches the finish in...

I was petting the new .44 Bulldog today, getting her ready for a range trip. I'd not taken the opportunity to check the cylinder timing and so did so. This is what I found -- that when the cylinder is empty, the throats do not line up exactly with the barrel. Uh, Oh! This is not good. Curious, I...

I read a post by Deaf Smith some days ago (I now don't recall just where it is) where he mentioned that shooters who have "too much trigger finger" tend to shoot left and adjust their sights to the right in order to compensate for poor trigger control. Well, that is me! I went to look at my...

Greetings! I have a question about my Blackhawk. I was dry firing it this p.m. Things were fine, but then the cylinder would not advance. I could only cock the hammer partway, but never get it to full cock. I removed the cylinder and put the pin in, the hammer cocked just fine. Pulled the...

Is there anyone here who owns both a Ruger New Model Blackhawk and New Vaquero in .357? I have been looking into the possibility of purchasing a New Vaquero in that caliber. I already own an NMBH in .357. I have noted that these guns weigh about the same. Will the NV feel the same as the NMBH...

I disassembled my SP 101. Things were fine until I pulled the trigger and the pawl spring flew onto my bench. I did not get a chance to look at how it was assembled, so I am in need of a pic that will show me where the thing fits so that I can get things back together. Anyone have a pic they...

Hello, I ran across data for Red Dot Powder from a 1973 Hornady Reloading Manual. Here are the loads for a 158 grn LRN for 38 Special and their corresponding velocities. 3.5grs = 750fps 3.8grs = 800fps 4.2grs = 850fps 4.5grs = 900fps 4.9grs = 950fps 5.3grs = 1000fps 5.6grs = 1050fps MAX...
