Howdy Fellas, Yesterday afternoon I took a much needed 45 minute retreat to the garage. I hadn't rolled any fresh ammo since the birth of my second child over 7 months ago. After double checking my manual/notes, I methodically set my block up with some primed .38 brass. Sadly, there were less...

Hey fellas, 1.235" is what I run for all of my 230gr loads regardless of powder as it "plunks" well in several 1911s. I noticed the hodgdon data lists 1.20 oal with 5.3gr of w231 max charge. If I go with 1.24 to 1.26 oal, does the extra space allow 5.5gr (GI load) to burn at standard pressure? I...

Howdy folks, Got our Netflix running again and have been hooked by this Peaky Blinders show. Tommy (main character) and Grace tote what appear to be Webley .455 revolvers. Can somebody with more knowledge fill me in on em. What are they exactly? How reliable? How affordable/ available...

Hey fellas, Am I right in saying that the above listed chemicals are nearly identical but packaged differently for two different industries? Wally World sells CRC Super Tech Non-Chlorinated Brake Cleaner for $2.50 per 14oz can, while they also stock Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber for $12 per 15oz...

Heading out to pick up my newest pony gun. Got a SAA .45 blue, 5.5 inch waiting at Retting's in Culver City. It has the NRA coin, wood box and 1971 NRA Centennial engraving on the bbl. This will satisfy my single action needs for quite a while! Sent from my HUAWEI G620-A2 using Tapatalk

So I'm wondering your thoughts on loading up the ole "Dum Dum" cartridge. For those under 30, it means setting a LRN or SWC into the case upside down so you have the flat bullet base sticking out. Historically, this idea originated at the Dum Dum Arsenal outside of Calcutta in British East...

At M.B. Retting near LA this morning perusing a bunch of estate sale dies when lo and behold I spot some yellow Speer boxes... Got two 100 packs of .357 125gr @ $13.99 ea, a fifty pack of .429 240gr @ $11.99 and some 300gr Noslers for twenty bucks! So that's 300 premium bullets for less than $75...

So I had recently moved into the .45acp arena from previously only reloading revolver ammo. The steps to get a quality product are quite a bit different as pistol ammo headspaces on case mouth. The 3 easy steps with Lee dies for revolver: 1. Decap and resize (prime separately) 2. Flare case...

Can anyone tell me why I have far worse smoke w/ MBC #1 Ranger (158 gr .357) than with nearly any of my other .357mag cowboy loads. I've never created quite as big a cloud using Unique with other bullet selections: Xtreme, Silver State, etc. Do any of you think the MBC slugs have a smokier wax...

In the spirit of speed is fine but accuracy is final [emoji2] I will share my experience with above powder. The best way to try new load recipes is to have inconvenience of no powder options. Over the last 6 months I have found pleasure in tight little groups pushing 230gr plated bullets out...

Component DEAL Alert: Hey fellas, Thanks to whoever mentioned in another thread that Cabelas is running S&B primers on sale for $19.99 per 1000. Twenty dollars a brick is a screaming good deal even w/ $20 hazmat. I also saved on shipping by getting at least 5 bricks. ($5 flat rate on orders...

So we're all aware that Alliant has been pushing BE-86 as the new wonder powder for all handgun loads. Anyone here had much luck using it for hard cast revolver loads? I understand there's a flash suppressant added and it it supposed to have a "wider pressure band". Specifically interested in...

I was cleaning up my reloading bench this afternoon and popped open a quart container of shiny clean, decapped .38spl brass; next to it another full of nickel .357mag brass. Had been hiding behind my log book for the last 5 months. A ton of already prepped brass... Feels like winning! :) Any of...

All the arguments I've seen here in the past couple years revolve around the "9mm vs .45ACP" theme. I'd like a THR quality argument that will try to convince me that I'm wrong. Never have liked the forty as an EDC cartridge. I think the FBI and others are wise to be going back to 9mm. I think...

Is there anything wrong (other than aesthetics) with shooting plated bullets out of my 2nd Gen SAA .45 Colt? I found a very good bulk deal on some remanufactured stuff that I plan to shoot up at the range, then reload using "Cowboy Approved" 250 gr RNFP bullets and Unique powder. What's the...

So on my last visit shooting w/ my dad I experienced my very first revolver sqib round. The pistola in question is an LA Deputy single action; the very definition of a knock-around truck gun. My dad has the bad habit of leaving it loaded in his toolbox. So long term ambient moisture surely...

Thanks to the quality service from Jim A. @ Nutmeg Sports, I checked an item off my Bucket List by adding genuine ivory grips to my Colt Gov't Model. While you can get a set of bonded grips for 1/6th the price, IVORY is IVORY :D Also got a set of oversize SAA grips for a future revolver...

So I finally dragged myself over to a "rental gun" range to try out some .38 snubbies that I've been considering. Firstly, I have the jones for a 2 1/2" Model 19, but have somehow made it 32 years on this earth w/out ever firing a snub nosed revolver. Shame! Shame on me and my failed childhood...

Is it really down to a matter of weeks now before legally imported as well as pre-ban ivory will be forbidden to those who don't yet have any? :( I just talked w/ the very nice and helpful gentleman at Nutmeg Sports (big ivory grip dealer) and he says it may be October 1 when the USFW...

I've used the search function and come up empty. :confused: What kind of value bump do I get from having the Factory Letter on a pre-war commercial Gov't Model? My gun was produced April 27, 1925 and part of 5 gun shipment to Chicago hardware store: Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. This store...
