I bought one of those barrels years ago for my 1894 favorite, and had to send it back. It was for a later model favorite, and would not fit. They may stock both now, but I would call and insist on...

I take fresh jalapenos out of the garden, roast them on the Weber unti black. Let them cool and remove seeds and stems, but leave the blackened skin. Toss them in a food processor with salt, sugar,...

Kevin, I assume from your consistency comment that you've used both of them on the same shot simultaneously. Are the discrepancies random, or is one always higher than the other?

Hermans, would you elaborate on what you mean by "derived values" for velocity? They all measure time and derive velocity from screen separation distance. I've seen the Garmins, but don't know much...

Another problem is availability of appropriate handguns. New TCs, XPs, RPMs, MOAs, and Dan Wessons ain't there no more, and used ones are not cheap. You can buy a Freedom if you've got the $$$, but...

We still hold ihmsa matches, and attendance is dwindling, or it was. Some new guys shooting pistol-caliber rifles at the field pistol targets joined us last year, and our first match this year was...

I finally got it in a Ransom Rest. The best loads beat 3", but again it was usually one flier that kept it from being much smaller.

What was interesting was, the RR owner brought his brother's...

Mine is pretty sloppy, too. At both ends. I've often read about gunwriters who "shoot their groups with their typewriters ." I was surprised to see Brian Pearce review an SA-35 in this months...

Mine refused to shoot groups at 25 yards. It would occasionally put them all in 4 inches, but usually there'd be two or three in as many inches, with the others making the group anywhere from 6" to...

Yesterday I shot some with 7/Unique and 7.5/4756. They grouped as well at 25 yards as the 4227 loads. Recoil was a little lighter, so they may not hold up as well at distance, but it was too windy...

I'm getting some decent groups with the Lee TL bullet. I'm casting it of 20:1 and shooting it unsized. The load is 18 grains of IMR-4227 with a cci 350 primer. I went to the magnum primer because...

I appreciate all the information that I have gleaned here. I finally came to the conclusion that my pistol was one from the minus tail of the bell curve, and asked about returning it. Somewhat to...

Thanks guys. I found an old Ideal manual with rifle data. They like IMR-4227. Looks like unless a miracle occurs, the Lee tumbler is the way we will have to go.

I am thinking about Ransom adaptors for this SA-35. None of the benching techniques I've tried so far seem to do much better than I can do standing isoceles. Yesterday I had 15 rounds of a handload...

I slugged it yesterday and it's pretty tight: .398 to .399. Doesn't look like a lot of throat, but it's hard to tell without a boolit in hand. I guess the cheap route is the tumble lube mould with...

A friend who does the stats at our gun club bullseye league saves the used .22 targets for me, and I recycle them for bigbore use. Thinking of making some stencils to spray paint various sized...

Thanks Bigslug! What powders? Most manuals seem to think that it's just a revolver cartridge.

A friend has a #2 rolling block in 38-40, and wants to shoot it without breaking the bank. I found brass and dies, and I'm looking at Lee moulds. All I can see that's reasonably close are the two...

Today I made a wood V-notch to go in my steel pistol rest. I shot the SA-35 with the ammo it seems to like best in the plastic rest, and two groups were between 2 and 3 inches, which has not...

Thanks for all the excellent advice guys. Yesterday I took my old Hi Standard Citation with 5" barrel to the range to see what a known good shooter preferred.

At 25 yards, I shot two 5-shot...

I'm trying to find a load that shoots well in my new SA-35 Hi Power, and I'm not having much luck. It will shoot an acceptable (<3" at 25 yards) group occasionally, but more often one or two rounds...

For pistol grips, I prefer to cut the blanks thick enough so they can be split down the middle, turned out, and the grain "book matched" on the two sides. For simple auto pistol scales an inch would...

I have used a 10" .41 mag DW in silhouette shooting for over 20 years. I shot a lot of perfect scores using jacketed bullets and one using cast. I never felt handicapped shooting against FA's. ...

Sixshot, that looks like what I had in mind. It's mounted farther forward than the usual 1911 installation, maybe because it would interfere with the hammer if it overhung the rear.

EL B,...

A Bomar (there are several copies on the market) is low mounted -- i.e. buried -- by milling the top of the slide deep enough to remove the factory dovetail cut, then milling the Bomar dovetail cut,...
