I also have one of these rifles. You are correct about the trigger return spring. Remove it and open it up so it has a stronger push forward on the trigger. That fixed mine. It took 3 hands to...

I have been using Big 45 Frontier Metal Cleaner for years. The rings are gone in about 5 seconds. It will not damage your gun.

Worked on some 7.62x54R brass. Deprimed and sized most all until I broke my 25 year old lee challenger press. Broke linkage. Not worth fixing, so I ordered a new cast iron one. Trimmed brass back...

Big 45 frontier metal cleaner will clean the rings out in about 30 seconds. Here is how I do it. Take a piece of cleaning rod about 6 or 8 inches long, screw right size cleaning brush into the end,...
I use 19 grains 820. So I am going to say you use 19 grains of AA9.

I haven't checked the BATF&E regs in a while, but the last time I checked an individual was only allowed to keep 50 lbs of power on hand for their personal use. I see on this thread that some are...

I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago using 2400. I had a 98 mauser converted to 30-06 using a 2 groove barrel. I was shooting a heavy lead boolit and 20 grains of 2400. I had to beat the...

I posted above about the rem 22 golden bullet being fine in some rifles and pistols my buddy and I shoot at our range. About a month ago I purchased an old ruger standard model semi auto made in...

My friend and I have ruger 10-22's, ruger single six's, I have a winchester 190. The last few months we have been shooting the remington golden bullit improved from wal-mart in the 225 bulk pack. We...

I think I was the first one on this forum to report on Big 45 Frontier metal cleaner several years ago. I first read about this product from an article Skeeter Skelton wrote many years ago. It just...

About the primer in up side down. I have a Dillon square deal b that invariably flips one or two upside down out of 50. I haven't been able to find out why. I don't notice it until the loaded round...

As a range officer for many years, I have never seen anyone so far have that kind of accident. I have on occasion shouted out verbal commands to lay down the firearm immediately. Then I help unload,...

I couldn't help but notice in your post that you are casting between 700 and 720 degrees. I once had a lyman thermometer, since then dropped it and broke it, that read extremely high. For instance, I...
I have been to Boise Idaho, Cabela's, and viewed the Elmer Keith collection on display there. I have had my nose about 2 feet from his no. 5. Unfortunately, thick glass seperated me and the gun....
txbirdman, you are right. I have loaded Skeeters load, 38 special case, thompson designed 358156 boolit, 13.5 grains of 2400 with the boolit seated in the lower or bottom seating grove. Shoots...

I bought two of them a few years ago at gun shows. I now know why then were gun show guns. They did exactly the same thing you describe above. Ok, here is how I fixed mine. First problem, you are...

I'm retired, so I don't remember what I did Saturday. Sunday I rode my 1982 Honda 450 on one of my circle routes. One is 78 miles, another is 93 miles and the other one is 103 miles. These are all in...
The blast from a 500 Boswell ten feet away does really well. Hasn't worked since.
I have sent 3 blackhawks back to Ruger for various repairs, barrel changes, wreck rebuilds, etc. I am very happy with the results I got back from them. The results are worth the wait. Thanks Jim

Your question was how to keep them off. I think that has been answered quite well. Since you don't know if you got bit or stung I will tell what we do here in Florida after a bite. I haven't tried it...

I too have been experimenting with wc 860 and a kicker of 2 grains of bullseye in the 35 whelen and the 280 grain lead boolit. I don't know the velocity because my pact went south after a 500...

I have a 44 sp smith 624 with a 6-1/2" barrel. Shot some 235 grain boolits today with 5 grains of bullseye for the first time. I was really surprised with the accuracy. I let one of my shooting...
As a range officer, I see all brands on the firing lines. Mostly S & W"s shot single action, then Ruger single actions with a smathering of Redhawks thrown in. I hardly ever see a Colt double action,...

Around two years ago I bought the eleven degree forcing cutter kit from Brownells after talking with Sheriff Jim Wilson. I cut some of my pistolas, which was Smiths and Rugers. I only shoot cast. The...
