I got one in November for 600 ish. I like it very much. Great combat trigger although it has longer reset than many may like. I grew up with DA revolvers so no issue. I have owned several Brownings...

Unlike Larry I have not shot a deer with .35 Rem and cast but I have used his recipe with full satisfaction on targets.
I did shoot a deer with a .30'06 / 314-299 (50-50 and a little tin) at 1800...

Jacketed heavies work ok but I have had poor results with 230 grain Hoch. It may work fine at low velocities but I haven't tried. Yaw was the issue. I think the alloys I have tried are not strong...

A quick query for any historians out there... Has anyone embarked on any meaningful tests of gain twist in smallbore rifles (.30 or less) with the goal of achieving something like jacketed bullet...

Still haven't had a lick of time to tear it down. I am thrilled to have found it, regardless of whether it turns out to be a named piece. It has a pleasing look and the eye easily aligns with the...

Wood to metal fit, general execution, aesthetics are top-notch. Just went back to shop and bought after seeing yesterday.

Been getting by with the 311299 for years but even though my Krag runs .308×300 I found as many of you have that it doesn't matter as the throats are oversized. The 314299 sized .312 is "IT". Larry...

Timely thread. Just picked up a little 91 myself. Will try Larry's load and report back.

Don't worry about bullet profile. Rn is fine at 1800 fps instrumental velocity. I've had good performance with 311299 (best) and 311284.
I like Accurate 9 with the 45-270SAA with standard primers. Magnum primers will give you higher velocity per charge, but I've generally had better accuracy without. I found while working up loads...
Mine has hard rubber grips, which is one non-guild feature. I wonder if, like yours, it may come from more of a known manufacturer.
Very nice. I love the genre. Been looking for .442 and .450 but like the .380 about as well.
Turns out it shoots brilliantly right to the sights with Winchester factory .38 Short Colt. I intend to cast some soft bullets in the spring and use the above recommended 2.0 grains of Titegroup. If...
Agree on serial number vs number made. It's Hard to plant tongue in cheek when writing so played it straight.

As you can see it is definitely fair to call it a Webley copy. There is no safety. It is very nicely made and in excellent mechanical condition. I suspect it is a guild gun. It has a...
Some variety of 380 I think. It will snugly chamber a .38 short colt (not a .38 S&W) Anyone ever try to shoot one?

13.0 gr Unique works well. Not very position sensitive. I prefer it to 2400.
Mine shoots well. 4 inches at 25. Never tried cast in it though. Bore size would be critical there.
My MKVI is a totally different animal and has a much shorter cylinder and throat. I don't want to shorten my brass at all. In a sense what I seem to have is a .45 Colt/Schofield with thin rims. I...
Hi guys, Just got a NS in .455. Not shaved or countersunk. The chambers accept loaded .45 Colt but the cylinder will not close because the rims are too thin. I chucked up 20 Schofield cases and...
Thank you all for your inputs. I shall stick with 4.5 grains and accept the (slightly) inferior accuracy. I have stronger guns and loads for when I need them.
I appreciate your cautions and you may be right. These loads do not perfectly correlate to .45 acp though, as I am using a longer OAL. Any other input is appreciated especially if anyone has better...
