My understanding from bullseye shooting with the .45, Bar-Sto for jacketed and Kart for lead.

If your Redhawk has a 7.5" barrel, check Jack Weigand's website: http://jackweigand.com/Ruger-Redhawk-Scope-Mounts-No-Drill.html
Colt's magazies are either Checkmate or Metalform (I believe). Checkmate for sure. There will be either a "C" or an "M" on the toe of the floorplate right at the front. Also, you can tell a Checkmate...
Very interesting thread. One thing I have only seen addressed in passing is the barrel/cylinder (b/c) issue. There are b/c gaps and then there are B/C gaps. A gun with a tight b/c gap will tolerate...

Some time back I set out to find a load that would allow me to use a Mtn Revolver in our local duty gun matches. I found one that worked equally well with two 240 grain bullets. It consisted of 5.2...

While I realize that for a self-defense application the ranges will usually be quite short, there may be another issue to consider. Years ago a fellow who was a bush pilot wrote an article on finding...

Just a small correction here. Small Rifle Primers are not taller that the Small Pistol Primers. They have the same dimensions.

After reading UC, I emailed Ross and he had done it himself. Bought a screw machine to crank them out of nylon, IIRC.

You should do a search on something like "NRA Conventional Bullseye rules" as well as "Leg Matches" or "EIC Matches". The rules will tel you what you need to know about the allwable firearms and...
Gentlemen,
