If a copy of that article is still available, I would love and appreciate a copy. sw62944@gmail.com Thanks in advance!?
That's the one I checked first, before a ******* comment got me wondering if it was the right one. That one and ALL the others I could find (I'm betting I got them all, unless there's some in the...
One of the few insults anyone has ever pulled on me is what you called me. Another is Tex. I'm not a horse or Texan. I am hostile now, though. BUT, you got me thinking, wondering, pondering... That...
Smith replied finally. For some reason, I feel no embarrassment. First line said, "most instances of double firing is a double tap due to recoil." Second line said, "check and make sure the strain...

High point, and Kel-tek sub2000. Both 9mm. First time in the sub2000, I cast 50 pure lead boolits, powder coated them, and shot them as fast as possible. All cycled perfectly, and no leading. My...
If I'm reading you right 44man (love your name!!), it is what I've been saying, right? I'm sure some of the double fire could be a double tap, but with mine, the trigger is fully back, NOT released...
Without a second fire, or the cylinder moving, your point is still invalid. Now, if you can find a video like that that shows a double fire from pulling the trigger twice, your point will be...
I just watched it AGAIN, and paid attention to the cylinder. It never rotates after the shot. Maybe if I watch it enough, the barrel will start to rotate, and it'll transform into a transformer and...
Try reading post 51. I DID address it.I have watched it 15 to 20 times and still only see one shot, one trigger pull, and recoil that moved the gun out of frame before any indication of a double tap...
Just because it's lower than the books, doesn't mean it isn't safeor won't work. The books are guides, not the Gospel. Now before everyone freaks out, how do the guys who build wildcats even start?...
The Smith video shows a single shot. No second shot in any form. The video with the girl makes a completely different double shot. Thats: bang, at least half a second passes, then bang. Mine, and if...
So three different people are scared of an oversized popgun? Maybe one. If THAT were the problem, it would happen more frequently. I had a sister-in-law who put her face too close to the scope on a...
It happens faster than the trigger can be released. However, I will try your suggestion to be 110% certain of this. The video I have doesn't show the trigger. We haven't been able to predict when it...
OK, I read that article. NOT even close to what is happening. One trigger pull, two shots down the barrel. No loss of control at all. It just occurred to me that that makes it illegal. It's an...
Both bullets go out the barrel. There's absolutely NO indication of bullets hitting the recoil shield. It's making two booms, not one, but only one trigger pull. Before even releasing the trigger it...
Have any of you had your S&W 500 stutter? Like, boom, boom, from one trigger pull? Mine has at least 3 times, and while it's funny, it seems at least a little unsafe. I can't comprehend how it's...

Let us know how things go. Thanks. Wayne.

You still use pure lead, right? I've been pondering the same thing as Fly. I've never been much of a muzzle loader, but my boys are getting interested in it, so I will be getting into it a bit. I...
Also pay attention to your brass. Some require the large RIFLE primer, and some require the large PISTOL primer. All mine take the rifle primer, and I haven't actually seen any of the brass that...
That Lee 440 is a great one. If you want plinker loads, use Trail Boss with it. The book I have recommends 7-10 grains. I use 10 grains. I posted on a different thread that I think I use 8 grains,...

They aren't real interested in helping with their old stuff either. I have my grandpa's old 721, and I need to replace the extractor. I contacted them about it, asking what it would cost to have them...
I use 38 grains of 296 for my 300 to 350 grain jacketed bullets, and 8 grains of TB (if I remember correctly) for my Lee 440gr cast. One of my books lists something like 32 grains of 296 for the Lee...
Different books will list different data. I have no idea why. I use several books to find a good starting load. One thing with Trail Boss, is that even though they give that formula, some of us are...

I would check with Cabela's and Midway. Another option is to do a web search. I have found obsolete stuff doing random searches, and sometimes the price is even really good.
