Mothers mag and aluminum polish and a Q-tip will remove them from stainless quickly and completely.

I bought two new Taurus G3's a couple days ago. Gave one to my youngest son for a graduation gift.
Yes, the G2c is a good gun.
Just bought a couple of G3's, and so far I like them a lot.

Uberti 1866 "Winchester" 19" carbine in .45 Colt from Cabelas...on sale $250 off.
I've toted several cap and ball revolvers to the woods and to town for defense over the last 20+ years. I still do ever once in awhile when I give one of my single action cartridge revolvers the day...
I have a 4-5/8" SBH Bisley in .480 and I'm happy with the gun and the caliber. I had originally planned to go with a .475 L. BFR, but I made a good trade at the dealer for this brand new Ruger and...

Ordered a 19" Uberti 1866 carbine in .45 Colt yesterday from Cabelas since they're $250 off right now. I don't think $899.97 + tax is a bad price.
Waiting on it to get shipped to the Huntsville...

The only issue I've ever had with a Lee product was met with a new replacement part in the mail, shipped to me free the same day that I called them. They are a top notch outfit.

I'm quite fond of the NOE 460-429 RF plain based bullet(sized to .460 and over 38-gr of IMR4198)) in my 1895 CBA....though 430-gr is a hair beyond the original question parameters.
...and fixed sight pistols commonly have different POI than POA. I didn't claim a "wide point of impact divergence"....but only that there can be a variance...and it happens every day. One can easily...
Definitely(!) not been my experience. I can change my charge half a grain and see consistent POI changes from the bench. The difference between Start charges and Max charges are a definite change in...
I've seen videos where people using Unique have experienced that. I can't say that Universal is as or less position sensitive. I use magnum primers and I can't tell any difference in accuracy or...

THAT seems to be the regular disclaimer/lie they tell in Alabama, too. They claimed there were "no big cats" in north Alabama...til they were caught on game cameras here. They also claimed there were...

I may not have put as many rounds downrange in one setting as the feller that advised against straight stocks, but I've put enough rounds through straight stocked leverguns to know that there's...

I'll make a video or two and post it on my Youtube channel.
It's not that I don't like my CBA (I certainly do), but man....there's just something about that 26". It looks awesome, to me.
Like I...

I've got the CBA, and mine is great. Added a Skinner peep and saddle ring safety delete.
I'm lusting after the 26", though....which was my original target when I stumbled on the new CBA at my local...
The Lee .452-255RF seated in the crimp groove worked flawlessly for me in a Uberti '73 Winchester rifle.

Can anyone tell me the measurement of the 405-gr bullet that Hodgdon uses for their load data with H110 for .480 Ruger and .475 Linebaugh?
I'm looking specifically the length from the crimp...
I run the 310-gr GC Lee over 16.5-gr of 2400. In my Ruger 7.5" SBH is doesn't seem intense on the recoil or blast.
A full tilt Keith load with the RCBS 250K bullet is noticeably more so...to my...
Lee .452-255RF over 8.2-gr of Universal.....in standard pressure Italian sixguns and toggle link leverguns.
I ran the same 2 loads in all my Italian six shooters and my Uberti '73 Winchester..... the Lee .452-255 RF, sized to .452, Lee Alox tumbled, over 8.2-gr of Universal, and the same bullet lubed with...
I use Universal in .38 Sp., .44 Sp., and .45 Colt (non +P)...exclusively (well...other than Goex 3F here and there). Love it and see no reason to change.
I only found it "dirty" when light...
