I have an old S&W .38 DA, 4th Change Top-Break with a 6" barrel in .38 S&W. It slugs .364-.365" . Planning on loading it with Makarov dies and .365" 95grn RN's from the local casting concern. Cheaper...

I can't believe that most people seem to prefer round butt. Nothing fits my hand better than a square butt N frame with Magna stocks. Nothing. Semi or Revo. I HATE round to square grips worse than I...

I honestly like the N-frame square best, but with K and L frames, it doesn't seem to make too much difference. If anything, on K and L, I prefer round, which is odd. I thing it has to do with the...

I don't know who makes them, MasS&W, but they sell 'em in Brownells, Dillon Precision, and on Clark Custom Guns. Brownells says they're made by Bang, but I thought they were made by Hogue, since mine...

I bought one of those Hogue grips that come on the Jerry Miculek 625's in hopes it would go well with my 657 Mountain Gun, but I'm not very fond of it. It's a little thin. I got it for the cost of a...

I think it was 6.5". They did those ones with 4" and 6.5" instead of 6" I think. It looked nice.

I passed on a .44 Special Model 24 Lew Horton case hardened model because I didn't like the round butt. It was $550 or so at a gunshow, which seemed like a good price.

It won't tame recoil very well if you have to get a grip that forces you to hold it higher in your hand, which is my main problem. I must be the only person who likes Magma service grips, I guess.

Okay, I just gotta ask. Does anybody actually LIKE the Roundbutt N-Frame S&W's? On the K and L frame, round vs square doesn't make much of a difference in the way it feels in my hand, but there's a...

Okay, this may be a stupid idea, stop me if you've heard this one before, but is there a standard sized 8.5x11" paper that you all prefer to use with paper patching (free of ash, clay, and other...

Is that part a casting? If it is, that could be tricky, but your best bet is probably to weld it, or find a machinist who can make you a flat gate out of sheet metal.

Well, instead of buying a new sight, you could just load your rounds a bit hotter. More recoil means the gun will hit higher. You could try MidwayUSA, Midsouth Shooter Supply, Dillon Precision,...

Have spoken to my friend, and we're gonna give the Ranchdog a try. He's excited about trying 190 grainers in his .38 Special and in his .35 Rem. He's gonna buy the mold, and I'm gonna cast and lube,...

Well, I've been looking at the RCBS 35-200-FN for quite a while, but maybe I'll invest in a Ranchdog 35-190-RF first, although I hate tumble lube. My XLR has the ballard style rifling and shoots the...

Thank you, Rintinglen. That's what I wanted to know. I see 50 yards in Steel Challenge occasionally, but I seldom see it in anything else, which is a shame, because distance is where most revolvers...

Mostly because I don't own that mold yet. Those NOE 160 WFN's look pretty nice, too, but I gotta use what I got.

Trigger pull, quantity of them on the used market (they've been around forever) and, for me at least, aesthetics. They just look better. Colt's, Dan Wessons, and Rugers are arguably better...

I don't think it's the brass, I think it's the throat in the rifling. If it was binding I would definitely get it reamed (probably send it in to Marlin, because that would be a manufacturing defect...

Thanks for the responses. I know it seems dumb, but I like big, wide meplats. Hollowpoints can fail and are very troublesome to cast, but meplats will never fail. I don't shoot these matches to win,...

Hello all. I traded another forum member for a 336XLR in .35 Rem, and he said the chamber had been opened up by a gunsmith. I was a bit worried about that, but the rifle has chambered every bullet...

Hi all. Does anybody who has a 358432 mold shoot revolvers in IDPA, USPSA, ICORE, or some other competition? Has anybody tried to use a wadcutter in any sport where reloading is part of the timed...

Those two are rare as hen's teeth, Good Cheer. I bought my new MiHec mold for less than I saw a 410027 going for on Ebay (which I was bidding on). One of those last minute things where snipers came...

Hey cbunt1,

Sorry I didn't see this until just now. I had to give up shooting revolver in IDPA because of the reasons you've stated. None of the copious amounts of revolver gear I have, much of...

So, if you pan lube with the right "cake" formula, you can just pull out lubed bullets, and the lube doesn't pull out?

Will have to try the 45/45/10 formula until I feel bold enough to make a cake.

Thanks for the input, fellas. When I first started, I couldn't afford a lubrisizer, and shot all the molds I had as cast/Lee Tumble Lube for years. While this was mostly .38/.357 molds, like 358477...
