I have a Beeman R10 in .20 caliber I bought new in 1987. This model is equivalent to the Weihrauch HW85. It worked beautifully until about 5 years ago when the mainspring broke. It was replaced by an...

Absolutely true, having multiple powders on the reloading bench invites some type of screw up.
Similarly, on your shooting bench only have one gun uncased and only ammo correct for it. Multiple...

Best laugh I have had today. :smile:

Thanks, 303Guy, for the compliment. Of course, I kept that target and used all the others in the fireplace. :-) Too many times I fired a really nice 9-shot group only to have the 10th shot land in a...

I had a Ruger 77/22 Hornet about 20 years ago, which I bought new. Mounted a 2-7 Leupold compact scope. I spent months trying to get it to shoot better than 3-4" groups at 100 yds. off a bench. Tried...

Just a few comments, mostly touched on by others already...
1) I had a 1909 Argentine DWM full length rifle, unaltered, all matching, etc. I looked for years for an 1891 rifle with intact crest....

As everyone reading like thread likely knows already, please make sure you use airgun-specific oil. Crosman offers such an oil. Regular gun oil may "diesel" (combust due to high...

Taking these numbers up to 10.0 gr is way beyond what the manufacturer recommends.

This is exactly correct. I eventually discovered this too.

ATCDoktor,

Thanks for the info. It looks like Colt put some thought into the grip design. That relief on the bottom must be to curl your little finger around.

$325 seems like a really good...

very nice!
Those are interesting grips. I am not at all familiar with these revolvers but do not recall seeing those grips before. From your photos, they look like they have a Colt medallion, so...

Those are nice photos of before and after.
I have a M96, .40 S&W equivalent (more or less) of yours. I noticed the same thing when taking it down somewhat for routine cleaning. There are a lot of...

Lyman getting back to you is encouraging. Hopefully the new one works without issues.

In a few more days they will be using the "We're closed for the Holidays" excuse. If I understand your earlier comment, it looks like you had to pay for the return shipping. That had to be a fairly...

just to add my 2 cents...
1) A powder trickler is unnecessary. I have reloaded rifle, pistol, and shotgun for 50+ years and have never owned one.
2) A case trimmer is unnecessary if you are just...

After reading this, I am glad I have my RCBS ProMelt bought in the 70's. It has never failed or given me any problems. It was not cheap but became a lifetime investment. The manual controller of the...

I relate exactly. I get up from the couch to get something in the other end of the house and by the time I get there I forgot what I wanted.

My memory is clear on the 1st press I had. It was a...

If I remember correctly :veryconfu in college physics it was stated that the universe is constantly either expanding or contracting. Might explain why fasteners which previously fit do not after...

I can only imagine what the carbines are like with military ammo. My experience shooting same in my long rifle was enough for me. Changing to cast and appropriate charge of powder made...

I have had several. The only reason I sold any of them was an eye issue which forced me to sell every long gun I have/had which recoils more than a .22 Hornet.

just to reinforce fortrenokid's comments...
I also found the military/factory FMJ unpleasant to shoot. My M95 is the long rifle version and even that kicked very hard. The stock...

As stated, it is definitely a shooter, not a collector piece. The grips do have nice figure to them. But it shows nearly 60 years of handling and holster carry. The old girl still shoots just fine if...

Mine is definitely in the "shooter" category. I believe it is unaltered but it has noticeable holster wear and scratches here and there. It is fed almost exclusively a diet of 429421 and 9.0 gr...
