On further observation, the "new 4th Edition" is now 14 years old. quite a few powders have come and gone over the last 14 years.
For a couple of years I had a pair of goggles with a blob of lead right in front of my right eye. I was pouring some sprues back in the pot when a larger piece fell off the spoon and splashed up at...
Mine is a 1938 S/42 Mauser Werke gun, also one of the 90's imports. Mine was supposedly imported from Estonia after the wall came down, but I offer no guarantee of that info. My guess is that given...
@ BMI The rumor that I heard was that there was a concern that the plating would flake off in the bore and become copper fouling. I stress that this was a rumor, that I heard from a fellow who...
The only cast I ever shot in the 221 was a Lyman 225-646 with 10 grains of IMR 4227. I was impressed with it, 1 3/4," 5 shots, but the owner of the gun thought that was "meh." He said it would...
I heartily concur. Red Dot is sort of a secret weapon when it comes to loading the 44 Special. I load a ~230 grain NOE Button-nose, WC boolit over 4.5 grains of Red Dot and out to 50 yards it...
:oops: Whoops, typo. >.028 is correct. On the newer guns, .026-.027 is better to allow for a crush fit when reinstalling, since they have no pin. The last one I did needed the barrel/cylinder gap...
+1 Goofy, odd-ball cartridges never do much more than stroke one's ego. Being able to pick up a box of ammo at a small town, hardware store during a hunting trip when your ammo is back home 500...
I knew a fellow who kept his loaded as his home defense gun. He said he figured a 38 wadcutter in the eye ought to stop any trouble maker in his home
One of my cronies uses it in his 41 magnum. From the Accurate website download, it would appear that it is strictly a magnum powder, with loads listed for the 357, 41, and 44 Magnums, plus some 45...

I have had pretty fair luck with WW-231 in my experiments with the 32 H&R. An MP 314-640 100 grain HP over 4 grains is pretty good. Some place I have some loaded with Power Pistol but I have never...
I bought a fairly expensive case from him, it was very well packed and romptly shipped--once the post office got around to sending him my payment.
If the only issue is the excessive barrel cylinder gap, that is not a difficult repair, provided that one has the proper tools. One removes the barrel, shortens the shoulder by roughly .005,...
"Been over 24 hours--you ain't shot it yet?"
Waiting for your report, as I am looking real hard at getting one of those.

Until very recently, I urged buyers, "if you only get one, get the Lyman 3rd Edition CBH" but now I hold my nose and recommend the 4th edition.
And that is simply because so many of the powders...

Oh, and you Grizzly Adams types need to be clean shaven to derive complete protection. Your beard does not work well as a sealant nor a filter.

My 432-640 large pins were like that, but a quick touch with some 800 grit sand paper while they were spinning made them slick and smooth. Conversely, I have not been very successful in getting good...
He does good work. I heartily recommend him if you need unequal or undersized cylinder throats corrected.
Collectors Firearms runs a bit high for my tastes but I have purchased from Guns.com with no problems whatsoever. IIRC, I got my Sig P320 and some magazines from them in two separate purchases. I...
Exactly, without specific details as to the area(s) to be traversed, what buildings, if any are to be entered. Nobody can give a definitive answer. And I would point out that local governments can...
+1 The flaw, if you can call it that of the K Frame 357's has always been the top strap and the cut away on the bottom of the forcing cone. The frame and side plate were not notable as points of...

Call--no email nor text-- NOE and tell Al the problem your having. It may be the picture, but it appears that the locator bars are excessively bent, drawing the pins up. I'll have to check one of...

I shot many hundreds, maybe into the thousands of the RCBS 38-162 SWC GC over 15.7 grains of H-110 in my Rossi Lever action for Cowboy pistol caliber silhouette competition. That is the top load...
