COL? Thanks for this information. As far as COL goes, is it best to use the same length as I would for the usual LRNFP bullet?

I have some Laser Cast bullets that I purchased in this size to use in my Springfield Loaded 1911. The .452 diameter does not work well in the 1911. Can I put these bullets to good use in my 45 COLT revolver? What would be a good load? Thanks.

Why not just drop a round in the barrel? Seriously. If the round gives you a nice "plunk" sound and is the right overall length, what are you worrying about? The bell is obviously gone, which means your crimp is tight enough.

These are two classics. Think Ford and Chevy -- no clear winner.

22 Caliber BUT a 12 GAUGE shotgun is where I would start. It's easier to learn how to "point" a shotgun if you haven't already had aiming a pistol or long gun ingrained into your mind. They are also great self-defense weapons, hunting tools, and fun to boot.

The Taurus is a solid gun. Shoots just about any ammo accurately and handles well. Hard to beat the price.

I have the Springfield "Loaded" 1911. I too had some trouble loading for it when I started. My gun clearly prefers OALs on the low side. It's also very important to remove any bell during the crimping step. And, make sure you have a good magazine (which applies to any gun). Eventually...

Thanks Pete, that would have been the best alternative. I was, though, able to squeeze a finger into the chamber and finally depress the hammer. I only take the trigger group out a few times per year, and it's easy to forget what goes where.

While disassembling my Beretta 390, I accidentally allowed the hammer to come to a raised position. Now I can't slide the bolt off or get the hammer to go back down. Please let me know if you have a solution. Thanks

.44 Mag. Use one of the best rounds ever, 44 Sp., for plinking and/or defense.

I don't mean to stir up controversy (OK, I do), but I have the BH in 44 mag. I shoot 44 sp for the most part, but do occasionally shoot the thumper round. A nice option to think about. And, yes, I do shoot 45 LC as well. I have three of the best calibers in just two guns.

I have the 50th Anniversary Blackhawk. It's a fine piece. Very sturdy, even heavy. Adjustable sights. What's not to like?

I'd like to load some 230 gr LRN bullets for my 45 Colt revolver. I haven't seen any published data for that bullet, but there are published loads for the LRNFP. Will the LRNFP load data work just as well for LRN bullets? Thanks.

I, too, would like to try some 230 gr lrn bullets in my 45 Colt. Are there any published data for this particular load? Thanks.

So you have something to look forward to later As good a reason as any.

I got it out. Had to use pliers the first time, but I'm sure it'll loosen up. Grazie.

Yes, I've read the manual. In Italian and English. No help. Ciao.

I'm trying to break this gun down for the first time and can't get the cocking handle to come loose. Any tips on how to handle that problem? Thanks.

Good deal, but... The $599 model is a fine deal, but you need sights to shoot the piece unless you use a scope (I don't). I just like the whole carry handle/open sight idea. Plan on spending at least another $50-$100 just to get started. I've bought guns from CDNN in the past. Solid outfit.

I have one of each. The conversion was fun -- which I think is the only reason to do it. I didn't save much, if any money. If you aren't in the mood for a challenging but manageable project, get the Arsenal.
