I’m glad the bores are slugging at .312. I don’t have any molds for .32 yet so I’m stuck with what I have on hand. I have some 76gr rnfp at .313 I can try and if all else fails a few hundred Hornady...

Received my 20 inch Henry and put 3 rounds of factory 100gr federal through it at 20yds, raised the sight one notch after the first round and the next two went in the one inch bullseye. Put a big...
327mag. Can be hot enough to kill anything but may not immediately stop a large critter, light enough to be quiet, takes 5 different cases, easy on lead and powder. But pretty much any caliber would...
Beagle and jeff, I believe the HBWC's are Hornady which are pure lead I'm sure. I like them for close in varmint, plinking and target for inexperienced shooters. I'm really wanting to switch to...
lol shoot-n-lead I know it's a Taurus but I handled it and checked it pretty good over a few days before I bought it. Two chambers lock up rock solid the third starts to get a little play and 4 and 5...
Yea I have never had HBWC lead when driven to reasonable velocitys. I did not clean the barrel before putting the first rounds through it so maybe there was some strange cutting oil or preservative...
Thanks for the reply tranders. 4.3gr was with the round nose flat base boolit. The HBWC charge, well I would have to check, I usually load them to around 700-800fps which in 38spl cases is at or just...
Ok so I de-leaded the bore then scrubbed with a brush, patch and Ballistol, it has what looks like a mirror finish so I decided not to use any bore compound. I have some 148gr round nose that measure...
Picked up a 605 for my mother who is having trouble with semi auto because of age. I grabbed a 100rds of 38 HBWC loaded light that shoot good in my rugers and smiths, I shot 5rds with surprisingly...

My H&R top break shoots round balls real good. I tried some 71gr round nose that I believe were swedged and dry lubed, accuracy died before the 5rd cylinder was empty. With black powder I load till...

Sorry for the late reply I've been doing the spring cleaning thing. I've only been to Bass-n-Bucks once, years ago looking for recurves, I need to check it out again. I have a few toys, if there's...

Why does Josh Smith live in Wabatucky and I live across the county line south of LaFontain ( pronounced La-Fountain ) yet I have heard of no such critter by that name?
Had my Henry steel in 327 on order for 3 months now, it was supposed to be shipped in February then Henry pushed the shipping date to mid March. It will go good with my 5.5" Single Seven, I just hope...

What NSB said on page one. I hated deer meat until I started processing it myself. After field dressing it takes me about four hours to process also. Get everything off but pure meat and I even wash...

I would like to say I like the changes of the photo contest. I really don't care if its a contest or not but I like looking at the photos and at some point would like to participate. Yes I would like...
Hammer spring in the grip has a hand type piece that pushes on the hammer. It can be made of metal or plastic, the plastic ones get brittle and fall apart. Replacement parts are available at...
That looks good, I wonder how much shim the screw can take? I haven't went more than .020" yet but would like to add a little more.
Auto parts stores may have it I've never tried there. I get mine from industrial supply stores but if you have a machine shop in town they will probably give you a piece. By the way I never mentioned...
ok the boolit advise is good an all but you said you have adjustable sights, probably Williams fire sights as they are the only makers I'm aware of. Well guess what, they were designed for a .22....

DUKE NUKEM, take heed of what Doc Stihl says, just about all published data in the books for boolits heavier than 405gr have a longer COL with the extra weight in the nose outside the case. When you...

I'm glad to hear it, I'll buy a few just to play with. For that matter I can buy two or three for the same price as one of the foreign Winny clones, save a Rossi. Any mention of when they will...

Well I haven't put cast through it but I did pick up a Lyman 257420 mold. But as far as J-words the 60 and 75 grainers did excellent, one was just under 1.25" the other was 1.5" at a 100yd. I only...
