    My Governor is having a problem firing CCI Large Rifle primers. The FTF cases show a Very light primer indentation. Either the mainspring is weak or the firing pins are too short (either one means a...

    Don't know if anyone gave you a powder recommendation yet, but think it's hard to go wrong with AA#5 or HS6 for Lee slugs. At least they are listed by Lee on the slug instructions. I don't have...

    Which load are you using? I have used cut wad petals to gain a taller stack when making less than max loads, but only use a hard card when the load calls for it.

    Son of a gun! I have the same problem with my WesternField pump (but not, of course, with the S&W Governor). As a test, I just tried some new, unloaded MagTech brass cases in the pump, and they...

    Are these brass cased loads with a glued-in overshot card standing up to recoil? Been thinking about trying some of these in the Governor - just for fun. Waterglass is about $27 a gallon with...

    What's the compressive strength of a sabot as compared to lead? I'm curious because we shoot oversized lead bullets all the time, and just rely on the "enormous" pressure of the expanding gas to...

    Reforming 444 cases for the 410

    I bought a Governor 2 weeks ago (don't know why) and I'm amazed at the price of 410 ammo. So naturally I bought a new MEC 600, Jr loader, hulls, Alliant 410 powder, shot, etc. (Ain't it great to save...

  10. Old World Holster, #23261 - Any idea what it fits?

    I need a wrapper for the S&W 5946 Grip

    A few years ago I bought a grip "wrapper" that was pre-cut for my CW40 from some outfit that was located in Detroit (if I recall correctly). Kinda looks like suede leather, but is really vinyl or...

    S&W 5946 TSW magazines

    I just bought one of these because I was told (several times) that it uses the same mags as my Marlin Camp 9 (for which I have many mags). Wrong! The 5946 won't retain any of the Camp 9 mags, but...

    Buy a half dozen Romanian trainers with "Express" sights, share 'em with friends and family, sit for hours on the back porch plinking at "Targets of Opportunity". Dirt cheap fun.

    It would have been nice if they held the volume of the can constant with the straight wall cans - seems like an opportunity to fleece the buyer (along the lines of "never let a crisis go to waste").

    S&w 5903

    I have a Camp Carbine with lots of 9mm mags, so I've been thinking about a Smith to go with it. Had a 659 once - pretty good but kinda heavy (for a 9). Seems like a 5903 (stainless/alloy) would be a...
