I have an NMBH Flat Top .44 special and have been reading this thread with interest. I have plenty of Blue Dot and thought I would try 11 grains of BD under a Saeco 429 240 RNFP bullet. This Pearce...
I size mine to .430. They could probably stand .431 as they are a tad small for the chamber throats, but I haven't molds that cast that large and haven't gone to the trouble to "Beagle" them to get...
My LCR (not X) 38+P shoots cast well. It is all I feed it. It has shot well pretty much everything I have fed it from 140 grain WC to 200 grain RN. I don't shoot +Ps out of the gun much. It is a very...

I'm a big fan of CA's revolvers, having a .44 Bulldog and Mag Pug. I'd like to get the 6 shot Police Undercover model (38 sp), but don't really need to since my Dad bestowed upon me a Colt Detective...

I spoke to the good folks at CA and here is the solution to the problem for anyone who makes the same mistake I did. Take a small screw driver and push the head of the ejector rod toward the muzzle...

I lost the plunger to my cylinder latch assembly early last week and received the replacement from CA today. While reassembling, I mistakenly closed the cylinder without all the proper pieces in...

I agree. I recently purchased a valve rebuild kit for a 30 year old Crosman CO2 pistol. My interaction with Mr. Baker was very positive.
Forum: AirGuns
I've dismantled the valve and cleaned it up. The seals, as near as I can tell, were in not too bad a shape. The seal under the screw in valve face(?) -- I'm not sure about what one calls the part...
Forum: AirGuns
Looks as if I will have to rebuild the valve. I got two shots (no pellets in the gun) before the CO2 started spraying out of the valve face. I tried two cartridges just in case I had not seated it...

Thankfully, I found the spring. I was in the shop sweeping things to see if I could recover it and sure enough it was discovered. The gun is back together. I'm going to get some CO2 cartridges today...
Forum: AirGuns
Well, I might do that. I was putting the gun back together when the detent spring launched into orbit and landed in parts unknown. Do you know where I could find another?
Forum: AirGuns
I realized that I inherited a Crosman 44 Peacemaker from my Dad when he passed back in November. It is very dirty and so I took it apart in order to clean it. I am wondering if the thing is worth the...
Forum: AirGuns
Thank you for the replies. I was curious about the temperature sensitivity. I saw a youtube vid by a fellow named Sonic -- lives in Nova Scotia, and had a CO2 rifle. I would think that there would be...
Forum: AirGuns
CO2 users, can you school me on the advantages and disadvantages of using CO2 as a propellant for air rifles? How do these types of guns compare to pumps and/or springers?
Forum: AirGuns
Interesting thing about PA. I made two orders this week. The order I made on Thursday arrived today. The order I made on Tuesday has yet to show.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Roy, thank you for your post. I meant to say "throats" rather than chambers. My 38s have either .358 or .359 throats and I size the bullets to fit the .358 and shoot the the others as cast. I'll try...

Thanks for the replies.
With my mystery metal, my mold casts in the .358 and .359 range. They fit the chambers of my guns perfectly. Ruger BH .357, Ruger LCR 38+P and a Charter Arms Mag-Pug. My...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I am wondering if anyone else has experience with this bullet. I have not been able to get it to group well whether in medium range .38 special loads or mid-range .357 loads. I've used all kinds of...
Forum: AirGuns
Thanks to all for the suggestions.
I'm in the process of evaluating guns. I've been looking at the Crosman Crusher, Vantage, and the 1322KT. I am also looking at the Bam B-26-2 from Flying Dragon....
Forum: AirGuns
Thanks for the replies. Will the Crosman 1322 pistol put down a squirrel?

I live in the suburbs and would like to take up some backyard plinking and pest control (House Sparrows, Starlings, and Squirrels). I am wondering if any of you airgun vets would be able to make some...

There are some loads for the lyman 429215 in here.
No, chrony data, but I shot about 150 rounds of Lyman 358430 over 2.9 grains of Red Dot out of a Ruger LCR 38+P and Charter Arms Mag Pug (PMC, Magtech, and Federal cartridges sparked by a CCI500...
