I just picked up a Tisas "Devil Ray" Bobtail Commander 1911 45 and pulled the barrel and plunked every load I had and they all dropped just perfect. Even my Lee 200gr RF Cast loads. Hopefully I'll...

Lots of great advice here. RTGlen has the best explanation spelled out that I have seen in a long time to do what you need. Please don't grind, file flat. Might suggest using a marker to mark where...
Is 360 dan wesson the right length? Starline at least used to make it.
Undersized boolits. Slug the bore of your barrel. Go .002" over slugged bore size if you can chamber them, if not try thinner brass - Remington is pretty thin. Try one of the "Cowboy" expanders...

I'm not sure but I think this is the Ace hardware spring that many have used to reduce the Rossi 92 ejector. A quick measurement of the factory spring diameter might help to make sure this is the...

Once they were gone, back in August or September, they were gone. Sorry you missed out.

Was that one of the wood stocked rifles?

Thanks for your info concerning Missouri and Wisconsin - I wondered if this was just a local southern thing right now.

Last one at one store was sold to the customer in front of me.

I dont think that model was one of the ones on closeout. I know the weatherby rifles are on it. The Savage Axis (l), heard about some Stevens pump shotguns for $100, Ruger Mini14 for $399.

Don't think they are advertising it at all. I've even had to ask at one store I went to before they showed the closeout price.
So far I know of Taylorsville, NC, Asheville, NC, and down to Travelers...

Weatherby synthetic stock for $249;wood for $349.
Savage Axis for $200 with 3x9 scope (not Axis II)
While they last.

I'm a bit interested in the method of mounting your TRS25. Are you shooting it left handed? Left-eyed? Or is it mounted to rotate the gun to shoot with the grip horizontal to the ground? Or is it...

Because some of the threads about these, I looked at one at the last guns show. No way I could even look through the sights without canting my head over to one side so far it felt ridiculous. Having...
Yes. I think it's due to long boolit jump, free-bore, length of cylinder vs length of cartridge, whatever you want to call it. Found some fired boolits that showed very wide rifling marks - much...

Anyone seen one if the Chiappa 22 leverguns yet? Looks just like the Marlin Mountie model (straight grip). Just saw them on Buds gun shop today for the first time. Just wondered what anyone thought...

Rockola made M1 Carbines during WWII, but when did they make M14's?
Thin Man, thanks for sharing your story. Very interesting.
Did you use calipers to measure the throats? That won't work if you did. It would be best to drive a soft boolit through and measure with an OD micrometer. I find it hard believe that they are...

1954 Win 1894? Guess has the drilled and tapped holes for the rear peep sight on the left upper side, correct?

Chuckerbird,
Can you tell us more about the problems you had with yours?
Rossi '92 in 357 mag. 16 inch barrel. One of the worst mistakes I have ever made. Has spent so much time in...

You don't need the necessary dies, you can use a 44 mag die to resize the smaller front portion, go slow to set the length. You can use other dies to roll over the mouth of the loaded case - I had a...
From Hodgdon website:
Originated as a military powder, used for the 5.56 NATO, or 223 Remington as handloaders know it. Obviously, it sees endless use in the 222 Remington, 223 Remington and other...
Yes, yes, yes on the Lee 255gr RF. Love it in 625 in AR brass. I like boolits a little harder for the 625, some seem to skid on the rifling if soft - long freebore jump problem?
Bought 2 of them about 4 months ago (G19) and used them in a G26 during weekly matches at the local indoor range. They have worked flawlessly, never had any issue with them. Only thing that I don't...
