    It is NOT a turn line...

    It is a circle, darn it! A line would only glance off the cylinder at one point! All of the revolver owners call that CIRCLE on the cylinder a line! A line is straight! Not going "around" and round and around... This may have been posted before but I would like it see it changed! just a prt...

    Concerns?

    As of today, I have only put 36 rounds through this new 5 inch S & W 460. Notice the strike marks on the primers? Not on center... There is a bit of rotational play when the cylinder is locked into the frame. What do you all think? Should I send it back to Springfield, Mass., Smith and...

    Looking at this K frame

    I just can not figure out what model this is. 38 S & W Special,6 inch barrel, serial number is23XXX. I've been on the internet going in circles and in two of my Blue Books of gun values. Can you straighten me out? I'll check back tonight. Thanks in advance!

    Lube tip.

    I have a Rockchucker II. It is the only tool that I have used to make ammo. Try Hornady's "Oneshot" on the ram. Lasts a long time!

    .451 or .452?

    I bought a Lee 6 cavity mold a while back. A 452-255RF with a .452 diameter and 255 grain weight. Also purchased a Lyman sizing die @ .452 for my older than me Lubri-sizer. My thought was I would have bullets for my 45 Colt, 460 S&W for plinking and 45 ACP. Currently loading 45 ACP and I read...

    You think this is doable?

    Is it possible to fire two projectiles through of my S&W 460 out of the same cartridge? A 240 grain JHP followed by my cast 158 grain swaged round ball. My Son who is much more knowledgeable than I said, " Yeah, maybe once, and then suggested Trailboss. I was thinking of using Titegroup...

    Tiny flash holes...

    Stopped at a gravel pit this afternoon on a bike trip to Lake Superior and back home. Was just popping the spent primers out of the sorted brass from others in 9mm Luger. Felt some pressure so I took a look inside of the 9X19 case. Just curious, Anyone else come across something like this...

    Magnets

    I get lots of e-mails per day related to.....gun stuff! Imagine that! Anyways, there is a company selling magnets to secure one's firearm, possibly in a discreet location. Why would anyone use a magnet? It is just my experience (and not to discredit anyone) that securing a firearm with a...

    Primer pockets

    I have saved spent primers over the past five or six years. When I first started reloading, every piece of brass was saved. (Cheap, frugal) Picking everyone up was "There's another nickel, another nickel " and so on. I soon realized that tight primer pockets were important! Having pulled the...

    Berry's & Titegroup in 9mm

    I just can not seem to find a load using Berry's 124 gr. Plated Target Hollow Point (.356) product # 10299 over a load of Titegroup. Comparing to similar loads like what BDS posted on April 24, 2011 using Berry's 124 gr. Hollow Base Round nose,I'm thinking 3.8 - 4.0 grains of TG. Other research...

    I got a screw loose...

    Actually, three screws came loose on my S&W 460 XVR(right side). My question is: Will putting a drop of serviceable blue thread locker on said culprits hamper a gunsmith (Not me.I am not a smith) in any future disassembly? Thanks in advance, B.L.

    What have I inherited>?

    Yesterday I decided to process some .357 & .38 special brass that have been acquired from who knows where over the years. Wet tumbled them because they play well together (joke intended).Sorted today and discovered 50 rounds of .38 special headstamped "Super Speed" with large primer...

    Buffing Compound

    Am looking for buffing compound. Thought that maybe the knife-makers out there could help me. Am accustomed to larger "sticks" appx. 2 1/2" in diameter and xx" long. My lifelong supply is running low (not a bad thing!), but all I can find on the www.internet is 6 inch long small sticks...Any...
