I just picked up a pistol grip blr lightweight stainless in 358 win. I'm not having much luck finding a mount for it. I see leupold has a black dovetail but that's it... anybody have a line on a...
I own a 329pd and a 475 linebaugh- I consider them tame compared to the contender pistol I bought from a pawn shop with a 12" 44 barrel punched out to 444. I picked up a box of leverevolution and...

I can't comment on brass life as I have only reloaded the brass twice with that load. It falls out of the cylinder and the primers looked good. I tried a red dot this year. I wish I had known...

I recently picked up a FA83 357 with a 7.5" barrel and wanted to try hunting with it. To fully exploit the long model 83 cylinder, I bought a NOE360230 brass 2 banger. It drops a 215 gr hollowpoint...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I made a smaller test batch of your recipe- 2 oz gulf paraffin wax, 2 oz vaseline, 2 oz beeswax, .33 oz of dried & grated ivory soap. I wouldn't venture into lube making if it weren't for the fact...

I know it flies in the face of everything I've read about cast boolits, but I have been getting much better results with water dropped coww or lyman #2 alloy. I can shoot mousefart loads with coww...

I am in the process of simplifying. It really is not that difficult to do if you can separate needs from wants. DVerna
That really is the heart of the matter. If we followed this line of...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I've had some extra time on my hands lately so I figured I would cast, size and lube a mess of different boolits so it would be convenient to have them ready to reload later. There in lies the...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have water dropped bullets before and it worked good. I had never heat treated boolits and figured what the heck! I have no need for boolits that hard in my 475 but it was fun learning something...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well I tried my hand at heat-treating boolits just for **** and giggles. I used a mihec 477 640 pb mould and clip on wheel weight alloy. I didn't have a oven thermometer so I just set my toaster...

That's an awesome idea! Maybe you could take it a step further and make them "green" bullets. Rainbow would be tough to do but would get you a nod in CA for sure!
Here is a link to the model 97's they have on hand. It looks like they have a few 41 mags.

I've been surprised over the years with the way animals will bang-flop with certain calibers and bullets and not with others... For some reason all the deer/antelope I've hit with a 25-06 die like...
Is the sp101 a newer one? I bought a sp101 in 327 fed when they first came out and its been a great gun. Same with my GP100. I said to myself "if only they made sp101 357 with a 4" barrel and...
Made my first open sight pistol kill. Also my first with a boolit I casted. Small doe at 20 yards with a Mihec 432640HP.54290
I shoot mine a lot more than I originally anticipated when I made the purchase. I'm glad to hear others enjoy shooting the 329 casually instead of emergency only. I have heard that 2400 is less...
I love my 329 PD! I purchased it this spring for bear protection and I can say without reservation this is my favorite revolver. I used to carry a 6” 629 but I was leaving it behind on the longer...
