To check the headspace on a T/C product you need to read the info on the BELLM TC site. He explains headspace and how to measure using a feeler gauge. He also has heavy springs to help correct this...

I will agree that a new car is the best. After 20 years of doing insurance claims I have seen to many cars that deer ran into the side of.
These were not hit by the car, the deer ran into them....

It is a great round, load it up or load it down. I have 3 Contender barrels in Hornet 10,12 and 21. Shot cast in them but still working up a load. Hope you find a good one to share.

The sides of the G2 are much thicker than the original. Does it make it stronger, I would think so. I'm sure T/C aka Smith and Wesson would not want to endorse higher pressure due to the barrel...

I had 4 of the third generation frames and sold all of them and made the switch to the G2's. I have worked the triggers over and used the BELLM springs and have better triggers than any of the...

I sold all of my Contenders 2 blue and 2 stainless. I now have 4 of the G2's also 2 blue and 2 stainless. The G2's can have a great trigger pull if you follow Mike Bellm's directions on his web...

Good luck with the hunt. Living at 6,000 ft I can tell you the main thing is to drink LOTS of water. Nothing starts Altitude sickness faster than be dehydrated. I'd second a oxygen count meter...

Michael,
That 454 looks GREAT, still trying to find a SS 20" one with standard stock.
I think this boolit may also be a great one for my 5 1/2" SS Ruger Bisley 45LC. With the long cylinder it...

I'm in for this one and I also posted on the 454.

Michael,
I'm in 454 and 30/30 I'll post on the 30/30 also.
Still looking for a stainless Rossi 454 in 20" but should have it by the time the mold is in production.
While I can't say I'm in the...
