JPW is awesome, double coat, leave it on for great rust preventative, stuff is awesome.
Just did another with steel bed, no issues ever with it.
Well I for one wouldn't want to be standing 15 yards from you and take those 14 rounds. Nice group, I use the 358432 as well and like it a lot. I don't tumble lube, but use BAC in just the lower...
The 3 screw Supers and Blackhawks did have a stud, as did early New Models (I have two like this). The stud is a better setup, but the first thing I do with any Blackhawk when I get it after trigger...

I do believe this might be the first time I've ever been described as having an entitlement mentality, quite interesting at the least. I did get a chuckle out of it though, thanks for that.

Amen,

I think that if my first experience with reloading would have been taking down shotshells, using the lead to cast boolits and using the unknown take down powder from them extrapolating the burn rate...

I have seen some 5744 recently but no IMR 4198
Both my 629's and one previously owned one had .428's. Never slugged the barrels on them, they shoot fine with .430's.
Strange thing is my Ruger .44's (several) all have .430's to .431's however my...

Might be a trend, my favorite load is R-22 under a Nosler Accubond 140 grain, compressed slightly, good velocity and accurate, in two different 7 mags, an A bolt and a Remington 700.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
With 160's and 175's Alliant Reloder 22, IMR 4350 will work ok, in my opinion it is better suited to the 30-06. IMR 7828 should work well too, but I've not used it.

I received no birthday sale either, just figured they ended it.
I did get a happy birthday though.
I bought one of these, the reason being is to shoot .410's around the house and barn and woodchucks and squirrels, expensive toy, but it will fit in the Gator when I'm out and about much better than...

I had one once, a Winchester 70, beautiful rifle, would only shoot 175 grain bullets accurately enough for me. Wasn't much better than a 7 Rem Mag. Just too much overbore IMO, had a 7mm Ultra Mag...

My little 20" barrel Ruger is unbelievably accurate, but man does it thump, something about that factory Hogue stock is simply miserable, I put 1/2 pound of shot in the buttstock to tame it down.

So some time ago I lucked into a pre 64 70 for $400 a nice rifle modified with a new barrel in 35 Whelen in very nice shape, it's a shooter too, getting ready to load some from NOE's 35-200 RCBS...
