I can easily see just making a stronger roll crimp in cartridge like .45LC would solve the problem, but I'm not clear on what you can do about crimp jumping in a taper crimp cartridge like the .45acp. It may be my mistaken impression, but I've always felt like the taper crimp used in automatic...
Ding Ding Ding!!! We have a winner! You all don't know this, but I keep coming full circle back to this one. I suppose, the only concern I have about the 325PD is bullets jumping crimp since the acp is taper crimped and not roll crimped. I've read a few accounts from reputable sources about...
Holy Mackeral! I had no idea it was that heavy. A Mountain Gun is only 39 oz! And that's 6 shots and a 4" barrel (though tapered). Hmmm. Maybe a Taurus 455SS2 would be better in the mid 20's oz range.
I'd love to find a 4" .32 maggie SP101 with the barrel trimmed down to half lug. Love the SP101 but really, is the full lug needed on a .32 H&R? I'd reather drop the excess weight.
Hmmmmm.... I see lots of possiblities with this little gizmo. Anyone say Logan's Run? Some lightweight compressed magnesium balls with a compressed thermite core....:evil: Benevolent self cauterizing wounds.
9mm 115 gr fmj at deflated tires at the local dump when I was a kid. These were just tires, no rims or anything. Bullets bounced off and came sailing right back by our heads. Never tried it again.
Don't forget the Butler Creek rubber grip. It has a little more squared bottom than the Hogue. I happen to have one NIB. Let me know if you're interested.
If someone would make an I framed .32 mag with a 4 or 5" barrel, I'd be all over it like white on rice. I personally know of a few other people who would be all over that as well.
Thanks all! Jim, does that load listed in the Hornady manual refer to "Ruger only" or any .45 LC? I have a ruger and a smith in .45 LC and for plinking loads I'm looking for a load that would work for both.
Sorry, .45 colt in the cartridge world is .45 "long" colt. The "long" part is actually a commonly used misnomer. My mistake, I forget that not everyone knows that. Definitely not .45 acp. And these loads are for a revolver, not a levergun. I see 230 gr FMJ on sale at midway frequently for...
Does anybody have some loads they've worked up for .45 colt using a 230 gr FMJ bullet? You can get those bulk FMJ really cheap and not have to worry about any barrel leading when you plinking at the range, or if your range only allows fmj to be shot (not in my case but I've seen it before)...
What should I expect to pay, ballpark, for a barely used, almost NIB 625-7 mountain gun, 4" barrel, made in recent years but without that infernal internal lock? Thanks for your help.
Thanks. It's actually one I'm interested in getting. It doesn't have a lock, of which I'm happy, so I was curious when it was made. It must have been built right before they started adding the hole.
