PM sent on 500LB brass

I read a handloader article from Brian Pearce and he lab tested some factory 1935ish era spec loads and they were in the 47k psi range. Those being used in the big n-frame had a lot of steel...
I'm a tinkerer and a sucker for getting top velocity and accuracy from my pistols/revolvers.
I had 2 ruger revolvers sent to gary reeder to have a new cylinder put on, one was a 6.5" blackhawk 357...

I would say everyone is different, I just got my 9 year old daughter into shooting this year. I started her with my 10/22 which is a super light voluartsen setup and my much heavier Ruger precision...
Haven't used cast since I have a stockpile of jacketed but I've loaded the 5.7 with 35-55g bullets with 10-12 various powders. I would lean towards a 55g gas checked bullet myself and a lighter...

Correct PC bullets don’t need any other lube than the PC itself.
Lighter bullets with larger charges of slower powders will see the most gain with longer tubes. I run 30 super(30 luger on full 9x23 case) 9mm, 40, 357 sig, 9x25 dillon, 10mm and 38 casull from 6"...
Are you talking about revolvers or pistols? Magnaporting in a revolver works very well but on a pistol porting wont touch an effective compensator/brake. Compensated pistols not only help with...
I built a 38/45 Improved in a glock. Essentially a 38 casull and I usually load it to casull pressures. Its the standard 38/45 with the shoulder shifted .030 forward but I still just use the...
I am one that uses regular 45 acp brass for my 460 level loads but I'm running them in a compensated longslide glock with a lw barrel that has case support to the extractor groove. I've test a 315gr...
I have the 10mm ruger 1911 and a glock longslide with a threaded barrel and compensator. Even with 220gr bullets at over 1200fps recoil isnt any worse than a hot 180gr 357 load out of my heavy...
You can also pick up the 17l glocks for cheap right now and they are very soft shooters even with 9mm major level loads. Gen 3 and the longslide cool factor.

Good article with a 475 #1 and some load data.

The sig when used in a 10mm sized gun (g20 for me) seating to 10mm length gets very impressive. It also does better with 357 mag bullets as the larger diameter and straight shank help neck...
You get used to the trigger over time but it will never ever equal that of a nice 1911. I had 2 glock longslides (17l and 24) both had the wolff competition trigger spring kit and the glockworx v4...
Double tap loads a 180 grain cast bullet bullet in both their 357 sig and 9x25 dillon. It's a GC design and they claim 21 bhn. I hear of decent reviews of it so i know it's possible to do. Good...
Also i will point out that shooting a 40 s&w in a 10mm chamber you will lose 50-100fps depending on the load. There is enough room for gas to leak out around the bullet in the oversized chamber. ...
45 super is my favorite autoloader round. I've had up to 11.5 grains of power pistol in my longslide without much of an issue with pressure. Through the 6 inch barrel it runs close to 1500fps. I...

Its been a while since this post had any action but i went to the range today with my 45-70 encore and i bloodied my trigger finger like above. This is normal anytime i start shooting the warm and...

Got the gun! Just as nice as the long cylinder version (.500 s&w) but a much easier size to carry in the woods. The barrel/cylinder gap is a tight .002 so that makes me happy! And the cylinder on...

Actually lil gun was used in both the standard chamber and the k chanber and the improved version won in in that rifle, by 200fps and was more accurate. I only got to shoot it in the improved...

My experience with the hornet came in the version of the K-hornet out of a custom 77/22 with all the bells and whistles (muzzle brake included) 35 grain vmax at over 3500 fps and accurate enough to...

I was at guns galore when i saw it so i doubt it was the same one but i have the sbh hunter in .44 mag and love it so i know they're nice. The BFR is in and im going to pick it up in the morning. ...

Everything ive seen on the bfrs accuracy has been promising. The .475 especially. Im waiting for my loading dies to get here now too so i can load some heavy cast bulets from it. So for now i just...

So last time i was at the gun shop a few months ago i saw one of the super blackhawk hunters in .41 mag for sale, i passed on it regretfully. So i went back today with some nice tax return money and...
