Do you think using 360 DW brass would be worthwhile? In between Mag and Max, cheaper and easier to get than Max.
I just bought 52 IMI fired cases, for $11. Now on to dies, RCBS and Redding have specific die sets for almost $200, and others say to use .41 Mag dies. I think I'll try the .41 Mag first, because I...
My wife has a 40 cal EAA Witness, and I use the Jericho 41 magazines in it. Presumably the opposite would work.

I don't know about other states that require FFLs for instate sales, just about California. If the sale is between two CA residents that show up together, it's limited to $35 total which is $25 for...
Yeah, he's Lefever and L.C. Smith collector, so he knows what he has.
Yup, I said that right. My co-worker just picked up a Lefever 8ga double. 36" barrels on it, it is awesome.
Anyway, I'm helping find some ammo. Whether it's buying some, modifying industrial...
I carry a 642 daily. I've never shot a 637, but it seemed that for my purposes, the exposed hammer was not needed.
I have plenty of other revolvers with hammers.

I feel the same. I know the 30-30 will get the job done, but I want to figure what I'm doing wrong with the Super Blackhawk.

My wife's boss, who happens to be my boss' father, has a few hundred acres in Floyd that I have never taken up the invitation to hunt. I'm too cheap to buy a license so I have to keep it on my own...

Thanks for all of the advice in this thread. I have some 245 Keiths loaded with 9.5, 9.8, and 10.1 grs of Unique. That's how my discs drop.
Tomorrow is range day and we'll see how they shoot...

Nice thread. It has come into my head that I need a .357 Handi Rifle, so I've procured a $80 12ga Sb1 and will be sending it off for some new barrels.
For .38 Special, I load, I shoot, I dump the brass into buckets, sorted by headstamp, and clean and inspect later. I repeat the process.
For the .44 Magnum, I use a little more care in tracking,...
I bought some items, and he was great to deal with. Mailed before the check showed up, and he was kind enough to use a current Harbor Freight sale flyer as packing material, so I also had something...

I'm new to this, and also loading for a New Model SBH. After reading this, I measured my cylinder, and it's .433". I don't possess a bullet that even pauses on its way through.
I load for .38, so I have Bullseye and W231 on hand. Is there any reason to try either of these? Unique looks like it will be my winner, but I'm always up for trying other things.

I was poking around local pawn shops today, and what I thought was a muzzleloader turned out to be a .44 mag H&R Shikari. I'be been thinking about a Handi Rifle as a companion for my Super...
I bought my Super Blackhawk .44 mag for $400 and that included some ammo. My LGS has a Bisley in .45 LC with a $450 pricetag. I'd imagine the .357 is worth $400 or less.
They never did go away from the .45. The standard units switched, and will continue to use Beretta M9s, but the Recon units stayed with 1911s and those guns are getting replaced with this order. ...

I use coffee cans for bulk storage, and I usually pick up cartons at the range.
Thanks. I have a 65 and I shoot the high end of +p. I don't currently load anything but 158s, but it would be nice to broaden my horizon.
Do .38 Special 125 gr +p loads affect K frames in the same manner?

What barrel length SBH? I just picked one up yesterday, with a 7.5 barrel. It's my first .44, but I have plenty of Bullseye from my .38
